Group Cruises

If you have a group of family & friends, club/organization, meeting/incentive, you may qualify for additional amenities and/or lower cruise fares. Please contact us so that we may give you a customized quote. We will review with you how you can earn cruise credits (cruise for free or return credit back to group).

In addition, we can obtain pricing for you for any type of additional requirements that you may need for your group. FYI - Meeting rooms onboard ship are complimentary, as are any refreshments required, or AV equipment - plan well in advance so that we can reserve these rooms for your meeting prior to sailing.

Q: How many people are needed for the cruise line to extend group status?
A. This varies by cruise line, destination, and length of sailing. However, for a seven day Caribbean or Alaska cruise, the major cruise lines define a group as a minimum of 8 cabins at double occupancy, for a total counted towards the group of 16 people. This is for a group customized/reserved, just for your participants.

Q: How soon should I make reservations to qualify for group status?
A. It is best to contact us ASAP so that we can check to see if the cruise line still has the sailing date/ship open to set up a group. We suggest that you plan your group with us about 12 months prior to departure, if possible.

Our agency passes all earned amenities, lower cruise fares and cruise credits earned back to the group.

Q: What procedure should I follow to reserve a group?
A. Contact us and ask for one of our experienced group specialists. We have handled groups from 10 people, to over 300 people, during the course of our 22 years in business.

We will review various sailing date/ships, types of cabins, and help you to determine which ship best fits your group's needs.

Depending upon the size of your group and your needs, we will either print informational/reservation flyers for you, at no charge, to distribute to your group, or set up a specialized group specific Web site for you, at no charge!

Cruise lines change their group policies/amenities yearly, so please contact us for a no obligation complimentary consultation.

We are happy to help you!
