LGBTQ+ cruise planning

A vacation that feels like you.

We're Michael and Reed, the husbands behind McKahn Cruises. Whether you're planning a romantic getaway, a cruise with friends, or a family vacation, we'd love to help you find something you'll enjoy.

Your kind of getaway

Personal recommendations, not a one-size-fits-all label.

A romantic retreat, a lively trip with friends and a family vacation have different priorities. We listen first, then compare cruise lines, ships and itineraries around what matters to you.

Couples & milestones

For honeymoons, anniversaries and romantic getaways, we can compare dining, private outdoor space, suite options and the balance of sea days and port time. Let us know whether you want quiet togetherness or a fuller social schedule.

Friends & groups

We help friends and groups find a shared sailing while coordinating different cabin preferences and budgets. Onboard activities, dining and nightlife can be part of the comparison without assuming everyone wants the same experience.

Onboard atmosphere

We look beyond the brand name to the actual ship, sailing length and itinerary. Adults-only, contemporary and luxury cruises offer different styles; none is automatically the right choice for every LGBTQ+ traveler.

Compare your options

Adults-only, luxury or something in between.

Virgin Voyages is an adults-only option for travelers who prefer that setting. Celebrity, MSC, Norwegian, Royal Caribbean, Princess and other lines offer different combinations of dining, entertainment, activities and itineraries. We help compare them without reducing your choices to a single brand.

For a quieter or more service-focused vacation, we can explore MSC Yacht Club, other suite experiences or luxury lines. Private areas, included packages and access rules vary, so we'll explain what the specific fare offers.

Whether you're traveling as a couple, solo, with friends or with children, tell us the atmosphere you prefer. Our recommendations follow your vacation priorities, not stereotypes.

Beyond the ship

Think about the itinerary, too.

Onboard atmosphere is only part of the trip. Local laws, customs and practical considerations for LGBTQ+ travelers differ among destinations and can change. We discuss those considerations and encourage checking current official travel advice before choosing an itinerary.

Tell us about any comfort, accessibility or travel-document concerns you'd like to discuss. We don't promise that every port or cruise experience is equally welcoming, and we'll be clear about what needs further confirmation.

Our planning is complimentary, with no separate cruise-planning fee. You'll work directly with us on recommendations, cabin selection and booking details, and we'll check promotions when eligible.

Let's plan a cruise that fits you.

Share your dates, travelers and the kind of vacation you have in mind. We'll take it from there, personally.
