Is this sailing a good fit?

Who it tends to suit

Gay travelers and bear-community friends who want an easygoing hosted group, social extras, and a direct human contact for trip planning across ocean and river itineraries.

What the trip feels like

Friendly, multigenerational, welcoming, and social without requiring passengers to spend every waking hour at the same mixer—although the cocktails may make a persuasive case.
