We offer the most unique travel experience for gay men with HIV (friends and family are always welcome). For five consecutive years our Retreats have been the only vacation experience specifically for those of us gay men living with HIV.
Each fall we have offered a different itinerary taking our guys to many ports throughout the Caribbean and Mexico. We intentionally select a cruise line that offers us the most affordable rates so we stretch your dollar further and give you more bang for your buck!!
The mission for our fall cruise is to provide our travelers a most wonderfully memorable travel experience with other positive men. We offer the perfect balance of laugh-out-loud social events and games, as well as informative lectures and/or spiritual workshops plus Q&A sessions with HIV experts. The reaction from past passengers reaffirms just how successful we have been in achieving our goals. Come see why so many men return year after year.
Our newly created spring cruise which will sail from California will focus entirely on the social aspect and will be 100% fun and games.
For many, our cruises with other positive guys is a very life affirming week that regenerates the body and spirit. Disclosure is never an issue. We have men who come from small towns in Alabama where social opportunities are almost non-existent. Other come from large cities like New York, Chicago but may be faced with the discomfort of disclosure.
Here were “are all in the same boat” both literally and figuratively.
Our cruises are coordinated by Paul Stalbaum who has over 35 years experience as a professional travel agent. It was he who founded the very first positive cruise for men. Several others have tried to copy our success but to date no one has succeeded.
We donate a portion of our proceeds from each poz cruise to various HIV organizations and charities. I am privileged to state that through 2008 we have gifted over $35,000.00. And we pledge to honor this commitment on an ongoing basis.
Sail with the best, most organized and most well attended cruises. Don’t settle for anything other than the best! Regardless of age, long term, newly diagnosed or first time on a cruise ship each member of our group is made to feel safe and embraced by Paul and his outstanding co-hosts.
We can’t wait to see you on board!!!
Testemonials from past travelers:
“The cruise is very therapeutic for me. When I went on my first one, it was to learn more about my medical condition. Now I go each year to see the wonderful friends I’ve made over the years” Steven, Phoenix
“I am very grateful for the opportunity to sail each year with this group. Since I live in a very small, rural town it is essential for me to be around other people with the same condition and have the chance to discuss so many things. When I return home, my outlook is improved and puts things more in perspective” Sam, Alabama
“For me it’s feeling fully alive again and never limiting your possibilities. What an incredible experience meeting and bonding with so many wonderful people. The feeling of family is intoxicating” Greg, Philadelphia
“I feel this cruise has done as much for my health and well being as anything the doctor could give me” Jonathan, Vancouver
