Explore the magic of the Caribbean, the allure of the Mediterranean, or the wilds of Alaska aboard a family group cruise.

Gathering your closest friends and family for a cruise is more than just a vacation; it’s an adventure, a reunion, and a slice of paradise all rolled into one!

Whether you’re eyeing the crystal-clear waters of the Caribbean, the majestic scenes of Alaska, or the storied coasts of the Mediterranean, a group cruise promises unforgettable memories.

Why Choose a Family Group Cruise?

Shared Experiences:

Traveling with loved ones means sharing unique experiences that strengthen bonds. Whether it’s a group excursion to a hidden beach, a collective gasp at a glacier in Alaska, or a shared feast of Mediterranean delicacies, these are moments that live in your heart forever.

Cost-Effectiveness:

Group rates on cruises can significantly reduce the cost per person. This makes luxurious experiences more accessible and allows you to splurge on other indulgences like spa treatments or specialty dining.

 

Fun Activities for All Ages:

Modern cruise ships cater to all ages and preferences. From thrilling water slides for the young and adventurous to serene spa days for relaxation seekers, everyone finds their bliss.

Planning Your Cruise: A Step-by-Step Guide

1. Choosing the Right Cruise:

Select a cruise that caters to the preferences of your group. Consider destinations, the length of the cruise, and the type of ship. For a luxurious escape, opt for a ship with plush amenities; for adventure, look for ships offering robust excursion programs.

 

Destinations:

Caribbean cruises are perfect for beach lovers, Alaska for nature enthusiasts, and the Mediterranean for history buffs.

 

Ship Type:

Larger ships offer a variety of entertainment and dining options, while smaller ships provide a more intimate setting with personalized service.

 

2. Booking as a Group:

Contact us. We specialize in group cruises. We can secure the best group rates and ensure that room allocations meet everyone’s needs, from balcony rooms for couples to adjoining staterooms for families.

 

3. Planning Onboard Activities and Shore Excursions

Pre-book activities and excursions to guarantee spots and avoid disappointment. Tailor choices to the interests of your group—perhaps a snorkeling trip for the adventurous or a guided tour for culture enthusiasts.

 

4. Dining Together

Many cruises offer flexible dining options. Arrange for group dining times so you can all share the day’s stories over a delicious meal. Don’t forget to try different restaurants onboard for a culinary adventure.

 

5. Celebrating Special Occasions

A cruise is a fantastic way to celebrate anniversaries, birthdays, or reunions. Inform us in advance, and we’ll arrange special touches like a private party or a special announcement.

Making The Most of Your Cruise

Pack Smart:

Include attire for casual days onboard and more formal wear for dining and events. Don’t forget essentials like sunscreen and comfortable footwear for excursions.

 

Stay Connected:

Consider walkie-talkies or a messaging app that works on board to keep everyone coordinated without relying on cell service.

 

Capture the Moments:

Designate group members to take photos and videos. These memories are priceless, and sharing them post-cruise can keep the joy alive.

 

Be Flexible:

While it’s great to have plans, sometimes spontaneous choices lead to the most memorable moments.
