As us about early booking discounts

Join a Journey Out group and get more out of your cruise experience. For starters, you get to share your cruise with a group of like-minded adventurers like you. We’ll meet each evening for cocktails before dinner and catch up on the day’s activities. You’ll get a taste of luxury at a pace that allows you to relax and saunter, or go climb glaciers. If you want to relax, this is the time. Picture yourself sitting on deck, blanket over your lap, watching a glacier glide by. Someone hands you a steaming cup of hot cocoa – it doesn’t get any better than this! Maybe you’d like some adventure. Go dog sledding. Take a helicopter ride, land on a glacier. Go white water rafting. Maybe even take in the Great Alaskan Lumberjack Show – husky lumberjacks juggling chainsaws, log rolling and pole climbing. And remember – a cruise vacation is one of the most affordable. Your lodging, all your meals, entertainment and lots of wonderful onboard amenities are all included in one low price.

           “Journey Out made our first cruise a first class experience!” – A. C.

Growing up, I experienced living frugally (my mother's side of the family was very poor) and in luxury (father's side was wealthy). I learned to be comfortable in either world. Now in my daily life I live frugally. So for me, a cruise is a chance to live in complete luxury once again, just for a while. On a cruise, I wake up to an elegant breakfast in an opulent restaurant served with fine china, real silver and crystal. My laundry is picked up and delivered for me, my shoes shined. At night I stroll the deck at a leisurely pace, pretending I do this all the time. I get to don my tuxedo and share before-dinner cocktails with a group of gay men and lesbians sparklingly arrayed in their finest. Some are temporarily wealthy, like me. Others live this way most of the time. (Sometime I will tell you about dining with a prince and his entourage on a cruise. Yes, a real prince, and a gay one at that!) I get to share stories of my life and hear others' stories, and be constantly amazed at how different we can be, yet have so much in common. It's my opportunity to be sophisticated, witty, erudite, and totally at ease with all the trappings of a life of luxury, as though I lived that way every single day.

– Journey Out founder Michael Brooks
