We are Certified Cruise Counselors and are experienced travelers and destination specialists.  Travel is our passion. Exceeding expectations is our belief. We plan every aspect of your vacation so all you have to do is show up, relax, and have fun.

 

Our Program

Our Cruise Group Leader Program is a great way for you to introduce friends, family, and colleagues to the world of cruising while earning a free cruise for yourself.  We offer our Group Leaders the opportunity to cruise for free up to 4 times per year (once per quarter) when escorting a group by simply inviting and promoting the group to others.  

 

On large cruise lines such as Royal Caribbean, Princess, or Celebrity, Carnival, and NCL, our Group Leaders can earn complimentary accommodations based on a minimum of 16 rooms (32 passengers) sailing for cruises less than 7 nights, or 8 rooms (16 passengers) for cruises 7 nights or longer.  For smaller cruise lines (including deluxe, luxury, and river cruise lines), the complimentary accommodations may be earned with as few as 5-10 rooms, depending on the cruise line.  Please contact me for details.

 

Important: Once earned, the complimentary cruise fare is awarded in the form of a rebate after the cruise has sailed (typically 4-8 weeks). Airfare, government taxes, and port charges are always additional and not included in the complimentary cruise fare.  The complimentary cruise fare is based on the number of actual rooms sailed and not purchased (ie., if there's a last minute cancellation, it may affect the potential complimentary cruise fare.)

 

Once a Group Leader, we’ll work with you to create an amenity package that best suits the needs of your group.  We can coordinate amenities such as onboard credit, private shore excursions, specialty dining, private functions, and much more.

 

Our Guarantee

We guarantee you’ll receive the best value for your group.  Cruises include your meals, accommodations, onboard entertainment, and activities.  Onboard select sailings and cruise lines, your group may receive complimentary shoreside event and cruise host among other amenities (typically on deluxe and luxury cruise lines only, when applicable).
