How Do Group Cruises Work?

Group cruises come in various forms. An affinity group is comprised of individuals with shared interests. They typically have events or meetings onboard and are seated together in the main dining room.

On the other hand, a promotional group is formed when a travel seller reserves several cabins at a discounted rate and sells them to individuals seeking value through group pricing and amenities. Members of promotional groups usually maintain their independence and do not interact with one another.

 

Do I Have To Use Ship Sponsored Shore Excursions?

The cruise lines offer a diverse selection of excursions, such as historical tours, beach outings, and culinary adventures. You're free to choose what interests you or explore the port independently.

Additionally, local tour operators can help arrange excursions, either at the port or in advance.

If you wish, your travel advisor, together with our partners at Viator and Project Expedition, can arrange many of the same tours as the cruise line, often at lower prices.

 

Will The Kids Have Enough To Do?

Cruise lines offer a variety of entertainment options for the youth onboard. Beyond the kids' clubs that are consistently well-liked, there are many activities, pools, and water parks. To ensure your vacation is fabulous, your travel advisor can assist you in selecting the ship that best suits your family.
