Olivia Travel is a travel company that creates cruise and resort vacations curated for lesbian and LGBTQ+ women. Olivia was co-founded by Judy Dlugacz and Rachel Wahba as a reimagination of Olivia Records' mission of lesbian representation and freedom.
The Olivia brand was launched in 1973.
The premiere of The L Word in 2004 was hosted on an Olivia cruise. One of its episodes, Land Ahoy, was set on one of the ships Olivia uses.
Olivia offered its first all-woman cruise in 1990 and remains the only travel company in the world offering cruise, resort, riverboat, and adventure trips curated for lesbians and LGBTQ+ women.
Olivia takes its name from the heroine of a pulp novel by Dorothy Bussy who fell in love with her headmistress at a French boarding school.
