GROUP CRUISES

A cruise is the perfect holiday for groups as it offers exceptional value for money; fares include all meals, entertainment and accommodation onboard, and in some instances all shore tours and beverages too - including champagne.

On a cruise your entire group are securely in one place and you can host private cocktail parties and meetings whilst onboard. We can also arrange group tours for you when you visit the ports of call, often tailored to what you want to see.

We can also arrange for you to have a daily hospitality desk available, so your group members can stop by and visit, or even arrange for the group to dine with the captain and other senior officers.

Often the group travel organiser can cruise free if minimum group numbers are met - ask us for details.

Some are 6-star and all-inclusive where everything is included onboard, others may charge you for drinks and shore excursions - it is important for us to select the right cruise for you and your group, and can work to any budget to fit in with your groups requirements.

Family Occasions

A cruise is a great way to celebrate a family birthday or anniversary, or even a family reunion cruise. We all lead such busy lives a family cruise can be the only time of the year where your family is all together in one place. There is so much to do onboard and cruise ships cater for all age groups, from supervised kids clubs and teen groups, to ballroom dancing and pub quiz nights. We can book your family in neighbouring cabins, interconnecting cabins, family suites, or even on different decks if you prefer! We can also arrange for you all to dine together every evening, and can arrange family tours in the ports of call for you.
