Perhaps you don't have a well-defined group yet. You'll need to network to recruit enough members to enjoy the full benefits of a group.

First, make a list of communities that you interact with — no matter how frequently or infrequently. Would your department at work be interested in a team-building trip? Do you belong to a health club? Maybe you play bingo at the local church every Sunday. Are you part of a town planning committee that meets once a month? Or, perhaps you join other parents to watch your children's soccer games? You'll be surprised by how many groups you know. Of course, you can always just invite everyone and call it a "friends and neighbors" cruise!

Next, determine the number of people from this community (or from all your communities!) that might be interested and able to join you for a group cruise getaway. Remember — a group is considered a reservation with eight or more staterooms, normally with at least two passengers per stateroom. Be sure to ask about larger staterooms that can accommodate a third or fourth passenger.

Finally, you'll need to present your great idea to everyone in your community. Trust us — people love receiving invitations, especially to unique celebrations in exotic locations! And we'll provide you with all the professional recruitment materials you'll need.

Recruiting members for your voyage is easy — your expert group cruise consultant can provide you with registration forms, brochures, videos, and even customized flyers ... and don't forget to ask how you could sail for FREE!

Reservations with eight or more staterooms are considered a group. The choice is yours: reserve the staterooms all together on the same deck or scatter your party's accommodations across the ship. Many staterooms can accommodate a third or fourth passenger, sometimes at a reduced rate. Group cruises also frequently enjoy special onboard amenities — ask for details. You must book your staterooms with one of our expert group cruise consultants — call us today to get started!
