Entertainment on Olivia

I just returned from a cruise on the Celebrity Galaxy, but I’ve known of Olivia Cruises for a long time. The lesbian-owned company charters an entire ship for women-only cruises, and they often provide specialized entertainment on board. Zille mentioned Wynonna Judd’s upcoming appearance on the January 29th four-night Caribbean sailing, but there are plenty of other stars on future Olivia trips. In April, Melissa Etheridge (who was recently diagnosed with breast cancer) will be performing on an eastern Caribbean trip; in late October 2005 the Indigo Girls will be cruising the Mexican Riviera for Olivia. And right this moment, the cast of The L Word is on an Olivia cruise, filming an episode for the upcoming season. What lucky guests the women on that sailing are!
Olivia definitely charges tip-top rates for their cruises (with a smaller target market, they have to), but they also provide great entertainment.
