We all like to travel with people who have similar interests or something in common—whether it is traveling with a significant other, family, best friend or a group you belong to. We can help you plan the vacation of a lifetime.
And whether it’s weddings, reunions, birthday milestones, special interest groups, girls or guys getaways, we’ll ensure your group has a memorable vacation experience from start to finish.
There are many wonderful reasons to travel with a group and we make it simple to plan these big events on any cruise line or resort of your choice. For now, I am going to discuss cruise groups, though similar trips can be organized with land groups. Virtually every cruise line has a group program that offers special benefits.
And to qualify for group rates and amenities as few as 10 people need to travel on the same sailing for a river cruise and 16 people for an ocean cruise.
• Planning is easy. We handle the details. Most lines even have a full time “group coordinator” onboard to assist once you sail.
• Enjoy perks, like group discounts and points that can earn your group onboard amenities.
• Customize it. We can arrange private shore excursions, cocktail hours, or other events, just for your group.
• So much is included. Fine dining, live music and shows, kids’ programs, fitness center, nightlife—it’s all covered.
• No payment headaches. Each person can pay individually, or as a group. We will handle it all.
• We’ve made celebrating life’s most important events that much easier.
What makes a group? Depending upon the type of vacation the number can vary. More than 5 million group members cruise every year. Here are just some of the types of groups that have discovered this awesome travel option:
• Vow Renewals;
• Milestone Celebrations;
• Reunions whether it is family or friends;
• Cultural Groups;
• Girlfriend Getaways;
• Dance Groups;
• Fraternal Groups; and
• Card and Mah Jongg groups
The benefits of group travel are outstanding. The group organizer can potential travel for FREE by utilizing one of the free beds earned (depends upon type of travel for how many people need to be booked) or can share the value with the others in the group. But perhaps the most outstanding benefit is that all the hard work of managing the group is done by your Cruise Planners travel advisor including collecting payments, sending travel tips and keeping everyone on track for a memorable vacation.
Who do you want to travel with? We can set up a conversation to discuss the best way of putting together a travel group.
