The Rainbow Readers Cruise is a unique voyage where you can celebrate everything LGBTQ+ fiction and romance alongside fellow readers, writers, creators, and friends! Games, crafts, panels, themed costume nights, wacky entertainment from authors and narrators, and a book signing at sea make this journey like no other friends-trip you’ll ever take!

Entering our third year, Rainbow Readers Cruise has become about community and found family – and there’s something for everyone. Sit and chat in a quiet lounge with a few of your new book besties (and favorite authors), dance and sing karaoke, enjoy our Queen of the Seas drag show (while raising money for LGBTQ+ organizations), share unforgettable port excursions, and have dinner with a life-long fav or newly discovered soon-to-be favorite writer.

Organized by Rich Najuch, of Cruise Planners – Cruising with Rich, means you are provided with Rich’s concierge service from sign-up right through the cruise.
