Cruise Search

You can select more than one option in most of the form fields. Here are explanations of the search options we get asked about the most often:

Departure Port: If you only want to view results for cruises that start in a specific port, you can specify it here. You can select more than one (to see cruises that start at certain ports). For example, you can select both New York and Boston if you only want to view cruises that start in either New York or Boston.

→ In the "Advanced Search"

Arrival Port: If you only want to view results for cruises that end in a specific port, you can specify it here. You can select more than one (to see cruises that end at certain ports). For example, you can select both New York and Boston if you only want to view cruises that end in either New York or Boston.

Ports of Call: You can the type name of one port that you would like all your search results to include. For example, if you type Barcelona all of the search results will include cruises that include Barcelona (even if it's not a starting or ending port in the itinerary). Be sure to spell the port name correctly!

Max Occupancy: Allows you to view search results that only include ships that have accommodations for a minimum amount of people per room. For example, if you select "5 and more" your search results will only include ships that have at least one room type that would accommodate at least 5 people. The pricing that displays on the search results page will be the per person pricing based on a room for two people. Proceed further in the online booking process to view the pricing for accommodations for a different occupancy.

Kid-Friendly: Shows cruises that are great choices for those traveling with children and teens. Includes ships with youth programs and/or youth-friendly public spaces. Programs and public spaces are subject to change, at the discretion of the cruise line.

→ Cruise Only vs Cruise Line Tour

If you check the Cruise Only option, you will only see results that are for a cruise vacation. If you check the Cruise Line Tour option, you will only see vacations that include a cruise + land tour package (also known as a Cruise Tour). Leave both unchecked to view results that include both vacation types.

Our agents are trained to assist you with many of your cruise group's needs. We will help you choose the travel plan best suited for your particular cruise group and can even provide you with a complimentary custom flyer to promote your group, once you've picked a specific sailing.
Top

♦ Does everyone in my group need to have the same room type?
Absolutely not. You can have a variety of accommodation types in your cruise group. For example, you can have interior, ocean view, balcony and suite staterooms all in the same group. The only thing that limits the types of accommodations you can have in your cruise group is the ship that you choose and the availability remaining when you book.
Top

♦ Will I get a good price if I book my group with you?
Absolutely! You'll get the best deal possible when booking your group's cruise with us. Your group's travel agent will ensure that you get a great price. We know that pricing is always important and we specialize in securing heavily discounted cruise pricing for your group. We are a top producing cruise and travel agency with all of the major cruise lines and many land tour operators. This gives us great pricing power! Plus, depending on the size of your group and the sailing you choose, we may be able to offer you special group amenities. For instance, some of the possible amenities may include a cocktail party for your group during your cruise, or a bottle of wine or onboard credit for each stateroom in your group.
Top

♦ What are the advantages of group travel?
There are many advantages! For example, we can work on your behalf to obtain stateroom upgrades, award travel group amenities, arrange for airfare and transfers, help with "special needs" passenger requirements, etc. Amenities may include any of the following: free cruise-only fare for the travel group leader (or more people, if the travel group is large enough), bottles of wine in your room, exclusive coupon books, on-board credits and more!
Top

♦ How can I promote my cruise group?
There are a number of ways we can help you promote your cruise group:
• Provide you with a customized flyer, promoting your group.
• Hold video presentations.
• You can attend a consultation at our local office, or we can meet with your cruise group at a convenient location.
• If your particular ship is in port we may be able to arrange a Ship Inspection for the Travel Group Leader, since seeing the ship in person can help provide valuable first hand expertise for your group.
