In Bed With VACAYA CEO Randle Roper: Redefining Queer Travel, One Voyage at a Time

What if queer travel could be more than parties and pool floats?

In this week’s In Bed with Koaty & Sumner, we’re literally in bed with Randle Roper, CEO and co-founder of VACAYA — the world’s first large-scale LGBTQ+ vacation company built on radical inclusivity. 🌈

From all-gay cruises to resort takeovers in Puerto Vallarta, Randle shares how VACAYA is creating safe, affirming, and wildly fun spaces for every letter of our community — gay, lesbian, bi, trans, non-binary, plus-size, kink-curious, you name it.

We talk:
• Why queer travel is about connection, not just celebration 🏳️‍🌈
• How VACAYA trains its legendary “V-Team” to balance luxury + community 💫
• Randle’s leap from Atlantis to launching his own inclusive empire 🚢
• The stereotypes about gay cruises — and what actually happens 👀
• The future of LGBTQ+ travel in 2025 and beyond 🌍

Plus: rapid-fire chaos, confessions from the Blayne It On Us inbox, and our question of the week — Do you have to be open to have fun on a gay vacation?

✨ Listen for laughs, insight, and maybe your next trip idea.
