LGBTQIA+ x Topdeck

When we say Feel Real, we mean it in every sense. Our aim is to empower you to be the REAL you on a group trip that is safe, inclusive and comfortable. To us, it doesn’t matter who you are, how you live, or what’s on your fyp... EVERYONE is welcome.  

That starts with inspiring you to join us on an adventure, following you through the booking process all the way to the end of your trip on the road. Every point of contact is attentive to alleviate any shred of discomfort.  

Anything other than respect and joy for each other is not tolerated.

Our trips have zero tolerance for disrespect and encourage a fun, positive environment for everyone to enjoy. How do we do that? All staff and crew – including your on-road Trip Leaders and Drivers – undergo professional LGBTQIA+ inclusion training complete with real-life scenarios and allyship tools. You can also raise any concerns about safety throughout your trip whether that’s during the welcome meeting, group check-ins or privately with your Trip Leader.

We understand the importance of identifying as your true, authentic self – not only in person and online, but at every stage in life, including when you book that unforgettable group trip! That’s why we’ve added gender marker X to the booking process (the first in the group travel biz for 18-30 somethings!).

As the leader in inclusive group travel, and to ensure comfort for all Topdeckers, we offer Multi-share Mixed rooms. This rooming preference allows for more inclusivity, choice and integration of all identities whilst aligning with common practice among hostels. Meaning? Comfort for everyone!

    Topdecker Tales – Sail & Swim: Turkey

    Sneak peek: For me, it’s incredibly important to travel with a company that I trust will back me up and stands for LGBTQ+ rights. It adds a layer of protection, so I feel safer. Although Turkey’s attitude to our community needs a lot of improvement, I felt safe over the whole trip, both on shore and at sea.

FAQs

What does “Multi-share Mixed room” mean in the room selection?

Multi-share Mixed is an inclusive choice that fosters a more social atmosphere and promotes new friendships with different backgrounds as well as allowing friends and/or couples with different gender identities to room together.  

Has any other part of a Topdeck trip changed?

Not for our customers! The change we’ve implemented is Trip Leader training to ensure every Topdeck trip creates an inclusive, supportive and respectful environment for the comfort of all Topdeckers. 

Do I need to disclose my gender identity?

Not at all. All that we ask is you provide the gender as listed on your passport (required for occasions such as border crossings). Following this, we ask if the gender you identify with is the same as that on your passport. This is an optional field, and you can further describe more detail if you wish to in another optional field. 

Are there any country laws that make Multi-share Mixed rooms illegal or unavailable?

Our suppliers have confirmed we can allocate privately contracted rooms as we see fit. There is nowhere we currently operate in which would break any country laws surrounding our inclusivity policy and rooming changes. For regions less accepting of LGBTQIA+ customers, such as Egypt and Morocco, we will provide extra information so you can make your own decision on whether to travel.
