Rosie and Kelli ODonnell Announce Sixth Cruise for Gay Parents and their Families
![]() |
All aboard! Moms Rosie O'Donnell and her partner Kelli O'Donnell are kicking off another season of R Family Vacations, the first travel company devoted to gay and lesbian family vacations. |
Their sixth cruise will set sail on the Holland America Oosterdam departing from San Diego, California, on March 15, 2008, with ports of call to Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlan, and Puerto Vallarta. Rosie and Kelli have four kids: Parker, 12, Chelsea, 10, Blake, 8, and Vivienne, 5.
Truly the first of its kind, the cruise is designed for gay and lesbian travelers, their kids, their friends, and their extended families. ??We are the gay cruise with family values. We're creating vacations for gay and lesbian travelers and their family of choice --- children, parents, relatives, friends, couples, and individuals,? said Kelli O'Donnell and the couple's entrepreneurial partner Gregg Kaminsky. ??You don't have to compromise your lifestyle to go on a vacation.?
The best part about the cruise is that children can meet other kids from families just like theirs, and parents can relax and pamper themselves. The little ones have their own activities at night while parents can enjoy dinner and a show. This year, Cyndi Lauper will perform and travelers can take fitness and yoga classes with Susan Powter.
Although Rosie claims that she never intended to become a spokesperson for gay marriage, she has become decidedly vocal on the issue when, in her court case a few years ago, she was denied spousal privilege and compelled to provide private letters and conversations between her and Kelli as evidence. Ultimately, R Family Vacations and the gay rights movement share common goals: acceptance, and for there to be more than one definition of marriage and family.
