2024 All LGBT Spain/Morocco Cruise (Brand g)
Brand g ,the LGBT river cruise exper,t announced their first ocean cruise for 2023 an all LGBT Spain/Morocco cruise and it sold out in less than 30 minutes. Luckily, they are now offering the same itinerary in 2024.
Brand g is teaming up with Atlas Ocean Voyages to charter their small luxury-expedition ship, the World Navigator exclusively for Brand g guests. This remarkable vessel has been exquisitely designed to bring today’s discerning luxury travelers extraordinary cultural experiences and adventures to remote and fascinating destinations around the world. Brand g’s exotic cruise itinerary takes you to the south of Spain including Malaga and the Canary Islands and includes several nights in Morocco to explore all of this fascinating country’s highlights.
Although the Strait of Gibraltar separates Spain and Morocco, they share a rich, common history. This LGBT Spain/Morocco trip focuses on Mudéjar art, a mix of styles that appeared between the Moorish invasions and the Spanish Reconquista. Join Brand g on a fascinating cruise under the golden sunshine in Andalusia to the lively atmosphere of the traditional Moroccan bazaars. Experience Tangier and its faded mongrel charm – not entirely Moroccan, European, or African but a blend of all three. Visit Rabat, the capital of Morocco, and its iconic landmark, the Hassan Tower. Explore Marrakech, with its snake charmers, fortune tellers, jugglers, and spice traders. Stroll the Arrecife with her golden sand beaches which are sheltered by a reef and a great selection of bars and restaurants. This unique luxe-adventure travel experience is customized just for you.
Laugh. Dance. Smile. Relax on this unforgettable adventure of the senses.

Highlights of Spain/Morocco Cruise
ENTERTAINMENT
Brand g’s Signature Entertainment is carefully curated to create dazzling experiences, with some of our community’s hottest cabaret acts, drag queens, piano artists, lecturers and much, much, more!
PARTY THEMES
Although the focus of Brand g’s cruise is mainly on sightseeing and socializing, they do like to mix in a bit of frivolity. With that in mind, they normally plan a couple of themed deck parties during the cruise. You can choose to participate (with costumes as over the top as you’d like) or just be a voyeur! Party themes will be announced four months prior to departure.
APRÈS SEA & BAR
After a day of exploration and discovery, return aboard with the day’s adventures still fresh in your mind. Après Sea creates a “come as you are” atmosphere that invites travelers to get to know each other better.
DINING
Atlas World Navigator offers 5 dining choices onboard, including charcoal-cooked favorites at 7-AFT using the chef-inspired jospering grill method.
Its main dining venue, Porto, serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner daily with an array of delectable fare, including their special ALMA menu featuring homestyle Portuguese dishes just like grandma makes.
When you’re looking for a grab ‘n’ go breakfast or midday snack, you can find the perfect pastry, juice, smoothie, or sandwich at Paula’s Pantry.
In addition, The Dome is open daily for afternoon snacks, and room service is available from our “always available” menu.
FITNESS STUDIO & SAUNA
As part of Brand g’s approach to a holistic lifestyle, you can work up a sweat onboard in our Fitness Studio and sauna. The high-quality exercise equipment and large, comfortable sauna make it easy to keep your usual workout routine.

Welcome to your natural habitat. Every deck is designed to bring the outdoors inside so that you are almost never without a transcendent view. Meanwhile, World Navigator also features luxe accommodations, contemporary and airy design, as well as thoughtfully selected amenities, entertainment, restaurants, and bars. Select from ten suite and stateroom categories that all feature livable space and comforts. Feel the Mediterranean sun on your face, because every accommodation has an ocean view, with most providing the enhanced experience of ocean breezes and full-moon views from a full walk-out or Juliet balcony. Watch for wildlife from the water’s Edge Lookout or the glass-domed Observation Lounge. The views are just a jumpstart. Borrow the ship’s complimentary kayaks, camping gear, stand-up paddleboards, bikes, and other equipment and get even closer to nature onshore. We know that relaxation is personal, so you’ll discover assorted ways to unwind onboard. The library is stocked with a large collection of fiction, non-fiction, and periodicals, as well as games. Swim laps or just chill in the outdoor heated pool, with two spa hot tubs. Exercise in the ocean air as you jog along the track, or keep your wellness routine going at the gym, personal trainers, yoga, and Pilates. SeaSpa by L’Occitane is as extraordinary as the name suggests. The first L’Occitane spa on water beckons you with a full menu of soothing and invigorating services featuring the brand’s renowned natural ingredients and Mediterranean art-de-Vivre. While the scent of lavender still lingers on your skin, you might be off to another onboard discovery. There’s always something special about the atmosphere on Atlas Ocean Voyages because you’re sharing this unique journey with like-minded modern explorers, starting friendships at the pool, attending fascinating seminars, or enjoying live music over craft cocktails. Sometimes, it’s when you’re farthest away that you feel most at home.

Jonathan has gone out of his way each time we have used Purple Light Vacations! We always know we will get the best price and best location on a ship or at a hotel. Our favorite part is the destination guides that he provides so we can know the best of each city.
Purple Light Vacations handled our two-week trip to France, including Paris, Normandy and Provence. It was a pleasure working with them and they reflected professionalism, expertise and responsiveness at every step. They clearly understood our needs and preferences and put together a superb trip based on their keen experience and knowledge. They were gracious and accommodating, and supported and checked in with us all along and made us feel very secure.
I was lucky enough to find Jonathan just by googling. He was very personable, friendly and professional. He was able to put our entire trip together in just a few days and checked on us every day of our trip to make sure we were satisfied. He is the best and only travel agent I will use going forward.
Jonathan at Purple Light Vacations has become our favorite Travel Agent. His attention to detail and his understanding of our preferences for travel is unprecedented. His knowledge of destinations around the world made our vacations spectacular. PLV gets my highest recommendation!
Jonathan Geen and Purple Light Vacations are beyond superior. Jonathan has planned two European vacations for my husband and I and we are thrilled with his knowledge of what to do, his research of beautiful places to stay, and his communication and planning leading up to and throughout the vacation itself. I encourage you to try Purple Light as your travel agent and see how much easier and richer your vacation experience can be.
Jonathan and his team pulled out all the stops for our boys trip! I planned a very last minute trip for me, my dad and son and this team completed an entire agenda full of entertainment, food stops, and must see places! Truly impressed with his customer service, attention to detail, and responsiveness. If these guys are helping you plan a trip, you can rest assured that it will be amazing!
My wife and I had the trip of a lifetime in France for our 20 year anniversary, thanks to Jonathan and Purple Light Vacations. His ideas for hotels, itinerary and tours were spot on. He was completely able to gauge what we would love with just a short conversation and a few emails. Thank you Jonathan. You're a rockstar and we will definitely be using you again and again!
Finding an excellent travel agent today is extremely rare and we can honestly say, that Jonathan from Purple Light Vacations is an absolute gem of a find. He helped us find the best package deals for our trip when my husband and I were in a tough situation. We were impressed by the great deals he offered us. We are so grateful for all he has done for us and our travel plans. It certainly made our lives so much easier. My honest suggestion to anyone who needs a travel agent today is look no further! Book with Jonathan at Purple Light Vacations!We just booked our second cruise within the past year through Purple Light Vacations due to their outstanding service. Jonathan Geen is not only highly professional, he is enjoyable to work with. What is the one thing we all want from the service industry, and especially dealing with travel and vacations-- timely and helpful assistance. Jonathan was quick to respond to any question or inquiry, whether by email or phone, any time or day of the week. He went over and above to make sure we were taken care of, and even provided information about places he didn't even book for us. Purple Light is now our go-to firm for travel and vacations.
Thank you Jonathan for making my dream come true! Bora Bora has been on our mind for years; for its exotic and remote location you are required to pay high $$$$! I thought it wasn't definitely within our budget.I was over the moon when Jonathan proved me wrong and found us an amazing deal!
He made all our arrangements and kept in touch to make sure we had everything we needed right down to the time of our departure. During our trip everything was seamless! I couldn't ask for a better experience
My husband and I recently took a trip to Thailand on a vacation that was booked thru Purple Light. Southeast Asia was new to us, and we wanted a bit of extra help. We got a ton of extra help, for free! Purple Light was with us the whole way- from early stages of planning to the actual booking and throughout our travel. When we arrived to our hotel room, flat-out beat from travel, there was champagne on ice to greet us. Wow! We've used them before, and will absolutely use them from now on. I just can't recommend them highly enough to our family and friends.
My husband and I just came back from our 5 year anniversary trip to Cancun. We told Jonathan the dates we wanted, our budget and what sorts of things we were looking to do. He got right on it! Booked us airfare, an amazing all-inclusive resort, transportation to and from the airport (which I wouldn't have even thought of!) and even booked us a trip to Chichén-Itza. He even gave us some tips on what do and where to visit while we were there. Easiest trip we've ever taken! Purple Light will always and forever be my go-to for any traveling! Will definitely be referring them to any of my friends and family
We love Purple Light Vacations. We have used them for quite a few trips and they always surpass our expectations. Jonathon is the absolute best. He takes care of all of the details and is very prompt in answering all of our questions. We will definitely use Purple Light Vacations for all of our traveling needs.
Purple Light has made planning several vacations easier for me. They worked out a family trip getting parents and siblings in from various places. More significantly, they helped us arrange two international vacations. After recommending Argentina to us, Jonathan took care of everything and it was probably our best vacation together ever. He also recommended the RSVP river boat cruise up the Danube from Budapest to Prague...wonderful trip! We've booked an Atlantis cruise through P.L. as well. Of course we could have booked on our own, but using Purple Light was so less stressful and provided...extra help and advice at no extra cost!
I used Jonathan and Purple Light to book a trip for my birthday celebration. He was very helpful and from the very first email contact to the end of the cruise Jonathan handled everything with excellence. His communication during the booking process to the day of starting the trip was very thorough and he missed no details. I will definitely be using Jonathan and Purple Light Vacations again for my future vacation and travel needs.
Jonathan of Purple Light Vacations guided us through the entire process to book our Atlantis Caribbean cruise at no additional charge to us. He kept us informed on all the details of the cruise and events happening on/off the boat. Upon arrival on the ship, a bottle of Merlot was waiting for us. Upon disembarkation, an email was waiting for us to see how we enjoyed the cruise as well as a card in the mail to welcome us home. This attention to detail did not go unnoticed and was very much appreciated. I hold Purple Light Vacations as the gold standard for high quality travel services.
Purple Light has booked vacations for us at Disneyland, Aruba, Charleston, Fort Lauderdale, New York City, Bahamas, Brazil and two cruises and all this since January 2016. We are discerning frequent travelers with a budget in mind. Working with Purple Light gives us the confidence to keep planning more travel!
Normally I research and book hotels on my own. This year, however, I was extremely busy at work and I had no time to do this, so I reached out to Purple Light for their help in planning a trip to the Greek islands, and am glad I did! Purple Light recommended excellent hotels that I probably would not have found on my own, and they even provided helpful city island overviews that were referenced often. In addition, they helped fill in some of our time with tours that we thoroughly enjoyed. I highly recommend Purple Light and plan to use them again for my next trip!
We used Purple Light when we booked our Atlantis P.V. Mexico Resort Vacation. With no additional cost to us, Purple Light made what would have been a good vacation...an amazing vacation. They handled everything (airline, shuttles, etc.). Additionally, they provided excellent insight on what to expect on our vacation and what to see and what to avoid. I give them my highest recommendation.
Thank you Purple Light Vacations, and to Jonathan especially. Jonathan helped us plan an amazing Cuba Cruise for my bachelorette trip. It is not easy to book a trip for a large group including all of the flights, rooming/accommodations and excursions. Luckily, we just proposed dates, destinations in mind with a budget and Purple Light took care of the rest. Jonathan researched the options, made suggestions and provided us with great advice. He was so patient and informative throughout our planning process, and really made sure that everything worked out well.
After such a great experience, we also asked Purple Light in helping us plan a cruise for our parents too. Our parents were very happy and impressed with the entire trip. Thank you!!
We used Purple Light Vacations to help us book our hotel rooms in Copenhagen and Stockholm recently during a Baltic cruise. I had previously booked room through an online travel website but I'm glad I decided to go with Jonathan instead, or our hotel choices would have been in the wrong area. You can trust Purple Light Vacations to make sure you have a wonderful, surprise free vacation!
I took a short weekend vacation to Catalina Island with a friend and reached out to Purple Light and was amazed how quick they got me a hotel room and a list of great things to do! They went above and beyond!
I don't think I will take a trip without them!!
Thanks Jonathan and Purple Light!
We were in New Orleans for Southern Decadence. Purple Light Vacations recommended a spectacular hotel right in the area we were interested in staying. We have also traveled to Italy, France, and Barcelona where each of their recommendations was excellent! Everything went exactly as planned.
Jonathan and Purple Light are great! Had them manage our reservations for a couple of Atlantis cruises and always been incredibly responsive and on top of things
I used Purple Light's Copenhagen overview to plan for restaurants and get a sense of must-see sights in the city. The suggestions were perfect and I don't want to take another trip without consulting Purple Light before I travel. Recommended for a first-class vacation that leaves you free to spend your time enjoying the city rather than struggling to navigate it!
