Group Travel FAQ

Common questions about group travel

How many people do we need to qualify for group rates?

Group rates typically begin with as few as 10 travelers, though the specific number varies by destination, cruise line, and season. Larger groups of 16 or more often qualify for additional benefits such as complimentary spots for group leaders, private excursions, and exclusive onboard or resort amenities.

 

How far in advance should we plan our group trip?

For optimal availability and pricing, we recommend planning group trips 12-18 months in advance, especially for popular destinations and cruise sailings. This timeline allows for securing group space, coordinating payments from multiple travelers, and planning special events or excursions. However, we can also accommodate groups with shorter planning windows when necessary.

 

Can group members pay individually?

Yes! We offer individual payment options for group members, allowing each traveler to manage their own reservations and payments while still being part of the group booking. This removes the burden from the group leader of collecting payments and provides flexibility for each traveler's budget and preferences.

 

Can you accommodate special dietary needs for our group?

Absolutely. We coordinate with cruise lines, resorts, and tour operators to accommodate all dietary requirements including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, kosher, and allergy-specific needs. For group meals and events, we ensure that everyone's dietary preferences are respected and accommodated.

 

What if some group members want different room categories or flight options?

Our group bookings are flexible, allowing travelers within the same group to select different accommodation categories, flight options, and even add pre/post extensions while still participating in all group activities and benefits. This ensures everyone can travel according to their budget and preferences.

 

Do you offer payment plans for groups?

Yes, we offer customized payment plans for groups, allowing members to make deposits and payments over time leading up to the final payment date. This makes group travel more accessible and helps with budgeting for larger trips.
