Same-Sex Vacation Packages

Brendan Vacations' 'Romantic Ireland' is Tailored to LGBT Travelers

— February 11, 2016 — World
Shortly after Ireland embraced marriage equality, 46-year-old travel company Brendan Vacations became the first to offer a tailor-made getaway for LGBT travelers.

The Romantic Ireland excursion is described as a 10-day "private chauffeur vacation" that's priced at $5,750 per person. The extravagant getaway whisks travelers off to a number of hotels around Ireland, as well as a number of iconic landmarks in major spots like Dublin and Killarney. Along the way, travelers are transported in a private luxury chauffeur-driven Mercedes Benz, which comes with complimentary access to Wi-Fi.

On the Romantic Ireland package, Brendan Vacations notes: "It’s a substantial change in the way that we are going to create and market [to the LGBT community]." With same-sex marriages legalized in Ireland, the country has the potential to become a booming wedding and honeymoon destination.
