GROUP CRUISE HOLIDAYS
Group holiday with less stress.
♦ Cruises are a great way to travel without feeling obliged to spend every second together. It also relieves the pressure of organising a traditional holiday to a destination, as you don’t have to pre-plan exactly what to do each day, and your group will always be close to one another!
♦ If you are booking a group holiday it is definitely best to book in advance, especially if you want to avail of connecting rooms and neighbouring cabins.
♦ If your group is large enough, you can organise private shore excursions. The cruise company can also offer a number of perks to group travellers, such as a free cabin or cabin upgrades, private events, group cocktail parties, free group dinners in specialty restaurants and even group scavenger hunts to keep everyone entertained.
TOP TIPS FOR GROUP CRUISE HOLIDAYS
• Remember that there may be differing budgets, activity levels and interests within your group when planning group activities and excursions.
• It’s great to have freedom on a group holiday, but make sure to meet up with your group at least once a day, perhaps at dinner, to discuss your day and plan group activities.
