MIAMI — A brand new travel brand, Transgender Vacations, has launched, focusing on programs and itineraries for the transgender and cross-dressing communities. Programs will also include options to bring along friends and family.

Transgender Vacations has partnered with the United Kingdom’s Focus Diva to ensure that transgender and cross-dressing communities receive the best possible service. To celebrate this union between the two companies, Transgender Vacations has announced the world’s first dedicated Transgender and Friends European River Cruise. The trip will cruise the Danube River stopping in Vienna, Bratislava and Budapest.

While on the cruise there will be custom-planned itineraries to suit everyone’s tastes, motivational talks and workshops and appearances by inspirational personalities within the community.

In addition to river cruising, Transgender Vacations and Focus Diva will work towards a niche-focused travel platform serving the LGBT and transgender communities internationally.

“For travel agents and travel consumers we, as part of the LGBT community, offer insight and specialized knowledge, a ‘familial’ comfort and confidence, as well as a fantastic range of products that is unparalleled. Booking with us, travel agents and members of the community are assured that we understand the challenges that transgender travelers face and that we are their ultimate resource and ambassador every step of the way to deliver their ultimate holidays,” said Focus Diva director Jennifer Grant.
