Our Founders

Gregg Kaminsky & Kelli O’Donnell

R Family Vacations was founded six years ago by travel entrepreneur Gregg Kaminsky and Kelli O’Donnell. Gregg has worked in the travel industry for the past thirteen years developing and producing charter vacations for R Family Vacations, Atlantis Events, and Nickelodeon in the Caribbean, Mexico, Australia, Europe and Africa. Kelli is a former marketing executive for Nickelodeon and she and her partner have four children.

The company was featured on the HBO’s Emmy-nominated documentary “All Aboard! Rosie’s Family Cruise”. The documentary was also shown at the Sundance Film Festival and was awarded a GLAAD award. Gregg and Kelli were given the “Lambda Legal Liberty award and have also been honored by Family Equality Council and the NY Gay Men’s Chorus. They have also been selected as members of the “OUT 100”.

This summer will be R Family Vacation’s ninth cruise! More than 15,000 guests have traveled with R Family and both Gregg and Kelli hope that many more will join them in the years to come.
