Group Travel

We believe that travel is an experience to be shared.  But group leaders often find that organizing group travel can be time consuming and sometimes stressful.  That’s where we come in.  We do all of the work, planning, tracking bookings & payments, coordinating special requests with the cruise ship, tour company or resort, distributing travel documentation, arranging for group transportation, etc. which in turn allows all members of the group to truly enjoy the experience of travel - including you as the group leader!

What is considered a group?


It varies between suppliers, but often a group can be formed with as few as 10 – 16 travelers.  Some tour suppliers consider 5 people traveling together to be a group.

Also, based on supplier policy, group leaders can often earn complimentary or discounted travel.
How we can help you....

Cruise or land based, large or small, we can help you with all of the details involved with planning your group’s travel.  Based on  your individual group’s needs we can:
  • Manage all travel details  – this includes helping you select the right tour, resort or cruise, negotiating and confirming the group space, arranging for any special arrangements that your group requires, creating & tracking bookings & payments, providing group reports, distributing information & documentation as needed.
  • Provide added value – when possible we can provide additional amenities to add value to the group.
  • Coordination of special events – we can coordinate events prior to departure, during travel, and post travel based on your group’s needs.
  • Create a dedicated group website – we can create a customized website just for your group, as an efficient way to share all of the necessary information with your group members.  We can also create an automated registration & booking form and payment system for your group.
  • Marketing - it is your responsibility to promote your event, but we will provide you with marketing support, including webinars or in-person meetings if practical, and PDF flyers to distribute via email or newsletters to your mailing list.
  • Support During Travel - depending on your individual event and group needs, we can have a representative accompany you on the event itself, to help with all travel management during the cruise, tour or at the resort.

​If you are interested in a free 30-minute consultation to discuss your group idea, contact us to schedule your consultation appointment.
Due to individual state seller of travel laws, we are currently not accepting clients that are  residents of California, Florida, Hawaii or Washington state.  However, we can refer you to a highly qualified agency licensed in your state. Contact us for info.
