Organizations and Associations

Bring your community together at sea. Whether you’re involved in a church group, wine club, alumni association or any other affiliation, a cruise offers a fantastic opportunity to connect with others.

Travel groups can host a variety of events during a cruise:

• Private group dinners or cocktail parties
• Informative lectures and presentations
• Enrichment activities on the ship or in port
• Networking receptions

Here are some of the reasons why cruises are attractive to organizations and associations:

• An intriguing travel setting increases participation and excitement about the value that the organization brings to its members.
• Professional onboard event teams assist with logistics, setup and execution.
• Everyone travels on the same ship, but each person can vacation his or her own way -- relax by the pool, enjoy live entertainment, schedule a spa appointment or explore ashore.
• Group dinners, private events and shared excursions make it easy to facilitate interaction among group members.
• Anyone who would like some alone time can find it easily, as the ship has plenty of space and activities for everyone.
• Cruise lines offer special discounts, waived cruise fares, onboard credits and added perks to groups.

Booking a Cruise for Your Organization with Vacations To Go
Successful trips typically involve a primary planner within the organization. The group leader is responsible for promoting the group to members who might be interested in attending and designing any events that the organization wants to have on the ship. Our group specialists assist with everything else, such as communicating booking details to travelers, processing payments, coordinating dining requests and more.

One of our group specialists will be a single point of contact for the group leader and for all travelers. We can create a custom webpage for the group where participants can find answers to questions about the cruise, book a cabin and submit payment information, saving the group leader time and energy.

We can also provide online reports so the group leader can track cabin bookings, payments and other details.

Most cruise lines consider a group to be eight or more cabins, though some lines offer group benefits starting at four or five cabins.
