Our women’s trips are for women only. Many travelers join us solo, and a good number are first-timers. You come on your own, but you are never on your own. From the moment you arrive, you are welcomed into a warm group of like-minded women. We also have a full Beatrice Bradley Couples program for those who would like to travel as a couple, described below.

This is not a political group; it is a travel community of like-minded women who love the USA and its history. Our travelers are patriotic and proud of this country, and they come together to be fabulous, fearless, and to embrace adventure side by side.

Our trips are for women 45 and older, and many of our travelers are in their 60s. There is no upper age limit. What our travelers share most is a love of country, a sense of adventure, and a desire for warm company.

Yes. Alongside our women’s trips, we have a full Beatrice Bradley Couples program for like-minded conservative couples, where men and women travel together and form friendships with other couples. Couples trips follow the same all-inclusive approach and have their own calendar at bbgage.com/couples-calendar.

Absolutely. Many of our travelers are new to solo travel or have simply been waiting for the right group to come along. You will meet women in the same season of life. Some have lost their husbands, some have husbands who prefer not to travel, and some are taking their very first trip on their own. Friendships tend to form quickly.

Our groups are small, usually 10 to 18 women, with one or two dedicated Beatrice Bradley hostesses alongside the group throughout the trip.

We have hosted more than 200 trips to date, both across the USA and around the world, so you are in well-practiced hands from your first inquiry through your return home.

Beatrice Bradley was founded by Kim Kalan and is part of Gage Outdoors. Every trip travels with one or two dedicated Beatrice Bradley hostesses from start to finish. You can meet the team at bbgage.com/meet-our-hosts.

The best place to browse destinations, dates, and details is our trip calendar at bbgage.com/events-calendar. You can also join our Women’s Travel Club to be among the first to hear about new trips at bbgage.com/womens-travel-club-form, and connect with our community in our private Facebook group at facebook.com/groups/beatricebradley, which has more than 34,000 members.

Airfare is the one main piece that is not included, since our trips begin and end at the destination. A gratuity for your hostess is also not included; it is never expected, but it is always appreciated. Trip insurance is optional and arranged on your own.

Single occupancy is a private room. Double occupancy is a shared room with separate beds, and we are glad to match you with a roommate. Most trips offer both, so you can travel the way that suits you best. For couples trips, pricing is per person based on double occupancy.

Pricing varies by trip and is listed on each trip’s page on our website, under the Pricing tab just below the trip highlights. Each trip shows both single and double occupancy rates.

Yes, gratuities are included in your trip price. A separate gratuity for your hostess is not expected, but it is always appreciated.

Because our trips are all-inclusive once you arrive, you will not need much beyond personal extras such as souvenirs, optional purchases, or a tip for your hostess if you choose. On international trips, credit cards are widely accepted at hotels, restaurants, museums, and larger shops, and we suggest carrying a small amount of local currency for markets and smaller purchases. Destination-specific guidance is included in your pre-trip materials.

Promotional offers apply only to new bookings made during the promotion, and we are not able to apply them retroactively to an existing booking.

A deposit of $250 for domestic trips or $500 for international trips secures your spot, and full payment is also welcome. You are not officially on the trip list until we receive your completed booking form along with your deposit or full payment.

Absolutely. You and your friend each complete your own booking form, select double occupancy, and enter the other’s name as your preferred roommate. If you are traveling solo and choose double occupancy, we are glad to match you with a roommate.

Yes. Unless a trip is specifically designated as a couples trip, all of our travelers are women, so your roommate will be a woman.

We do not use a roommate questionnaire, so we are not able to match on specific preferences or to confirm details such as whether a roommate is a non-smoker. In practice this has very rarely been an issue across our 200-plus trips. If a particular preference is important to you, the surest options are to choose single occupancy or to travel with someone you already know and room together.

Often the trip is not entirely full. If single occupancy is sold out, double occupancy may still be available. If you prefer single occupancy only, we are happy to add you to the waitlist in case a spot opens.

On the booking form, when you reach the question “Which year would you like to travel?”, select “I received a call about a waitlist spot!” That option routes you straight to your opened spot. Opened spots can typically be held for 24 hours, so it is best to complete the form as soon as you are able.

Yes. Our Flex-Pay setup lets you pay any amount you choose, as often as you like, right up until the balance due date. Many travelers spread their payments out over several months.

You are welcome to use any card you would like. Payments by credit card include a 3% convenience fee, while payments by ACH, or bank transfer, have no fee. The choice is entirely yours.

Your balance is due in full 60 days before domestic trips and 90 days before international trips. If a balance still remains at that point, the remaining amount is charged automatically to the card on file. Your specific due date is also shown on your invoice.

Yes. Reminder emails begin approximately 120 days before domestic trips and 150 days before international trips.

Your pre-trip email is sent approximately 2 weeks before domestic trips and 3 to 4 weeks before international trips, once every registration form from your group has been received. It includes everything you need to feel fully prepared:

• A Traveler Sheet with photos and contact information for your fellow travelers
• The finalized itinerary
• Airport pickup and drop-off instructions
• Details about your group conference call and trip text group
• Packing suggestions tailored to your destination and activities
• Any final notes or helpful reminders

Yes. The trip text group is set up 1 to 2 weeks before arrival, so you can begin chatting with your hostesses and fellow travelers. It is a wonderful way to feel connected before the trip even begins.

You will receive packing and clothing suggestions tailored to your specific destination and activities as part of your pre-trip email.

All changes and cancellations are handled through our change and cancellation form. Once we receive it, we process the request and send a revised invoice if needed.
