 Are you tasked with planning a group travel event? Whether it’s a fun friends & family getaway or a corporate retreat with complex requirements for meeting space, breakout sessions and private functions, the best first step in your planning process is to enlist the assistance of experienced group travel specialists. These professionals can save you hours of time, secure favorable rates and amenities, and help you avoid costly mistakes in planning a seamless group travel event. Group travel specialists are travel advisors who devote a significant amount of their professional time to planning and orchestrating group travel events. These agents are not only experienced in international travel planning, but also have a broad knowledge of the specialized requirements involved with planning group travel. Groups can have very different goals and needs. The requirements of a corporate group differ greatly from a multi-gen group of friends & family. Group travel specialists understand which providers in the industry are good matches for your group’s requirements. These agents can also provide advice and guidance on which destinations offer easy access with good flight schedules and manageable entrance requirements for your guests. Special Events at SeaToday’s fun & fabulous cruise ships can provide a seamless and surprisingly affordable experience for group travelers. With so much included with the cruise fare – transportation to various ports of call, meals, and a host of onboard entertainment – a special event at sea is a very attractive option for many group travel events. Many cruise lines are exceptionally friendly to groups. There is generally no additional charge for group meeting space and things like AV equipment are frequently provided free or at nominal charge. Group travel specialists are often experts at cruise travel planning. International travel planning is also second nature for agents who specialize in planning group travel. Many cruise lines actually have a group event coordinator onboard their vessels. These employees are tasked with working with group leaders to ensure each event runs smoothly to ensure a flawless guest experience. In addition, most travel advisors who are group travel specialists will be onboard to facilitate group events with larger groups with complex requirements. Corporate retreats and large groups may have many requirements. Examples of some of the services that can be arranged for these groups onboard include:
Luxury Cruises Luxury cruises can be an outstanding venue for group events directed toward more discerning travelers. If you are planning a group travel event for a corporate leadership team, golf or country club members or any other group of discriminating travelers, it is hard to duplicate the level of luxury and service found on these intimate luxury vessels. Your guests can expect world-class cuisine, butler service, and intriguing ports of call on group travel events that will exceed every expectation aboard luxury cruises. Luxury cruise experiences can differ significantly between cruise lines. Some cruise lines feature small, intimate vessels, while others offer expanded entertainment and amenities aboard larger ships. Onboard ambiance can range from relaxed country club casual to a more traditional cruise experience featuring two or more “elegant nights” with formal attire recommended. Cruise travel planning specialists can help you identify the best match for your group’s expectations and preferences. Luxury cruises also put high emphasis on itineraries. A typical luxury cruise itinerary will visit intriguing ports of call that larger vessels are unable to access. They may also offer extended time in port, with many cruise lines featuring overnight calls in more popular destinations.
