Paul Stalbaum

On August 14, 2020, Paul Stalbaum, the founder of Cruise Designs Travel and Paul’s HIV Cruise Retreats, passed away. Paul was a travel professional extraordinaire who dedicated himself to creating incredible travel experiences for the LBGTQ community. Of his many accomplishments, Paul was most proud of the unique travel community he created for people from all walks of life who live with HIV. In Paul’s memory, and to ensure that his initiative lives on, Paul’s brother, Bob, will continue Paul’s Cruise Retreats, with the help, support and stewardship of Jonathan Goldman and a wonderful group of past Retreat travelers who will serve as your cruise hosts.
