Have ever had the experience of having booked what you thought was an economical vacation only to find that you are paying for months for the extras that you had not budgeted for? If so, you might want to consider some of the wonderful all-inclusive LGBT vacation options out there.

One option is to book an LGBT land vacation. The companies of Atlantis and Olivia in particular charter resorts such as the wonderful Hard Rock resort in Puerto Vallarta and the Club Med resort in Cancun. They bring in their own talent and DJ’s providing a uniquely LGBT expererience with added value. In addition, these land vacations not only include all meals and entertainment, but also, all alcoholic and other beverages. The fee you pay for a week at these all-inclusive resorts therefore includes everything other than airfare, and fees for excursions you may wish to take from the resort or a few extras such as spa treatments. This can make these land vacations, quite affordable. For info on Atlantis’ Hard Rock PV week, check HERE. For their 2016 Cancun week check HERE. For Olivia’s Hard Rock week, check HERE.

River cruises offer additional value to that offered on typical ocean cruises. The river cruise fare usually includes the cost of most if not all of the shore excursions. They also generally include beer and wine at dinner (and sometimes at lunch). The wines served on European river cruises are generally quite good by the way. These are some of the many reasons that river cruising is so popular right now. Info on Brand g upcoming Duoro River cruise is HERE. Info on Olivia’s 2016 cruise from Lisbon to Dublin is HERE.

Occasionally, there will even be an all-inclusive ocean cruise. Purple Light will be joining our friends at Brand g on a South and Central American cruise December 2-13 that gives new meaning to the term all-inclusive. This cruise includes a journey through the famous Panama Canal, as well as an opportunity to explore exciting ports in Colombia, Panama and Costa Rica aboard the luxurious St. Laurent.
