Group Cruising is the Ideal Way to Travel

Shared Experiences

One of the joys of group cruising is having dinner together at the end of a day filled with fun adventures. Dine and share stories with the same people every night, or change tables within the group to deepen friendships with more people.

Exclusive Group Benefits

When a travel agency organizes a group cruise, they can often obtain benefits for the travelers, such as onboard spending money or a group cocktail party.  Almost always, you receive these benefits in addition to the advertised cruise line promotions.

Plenty of Time for Yourself

Cruising as a group doesn't mean that there will be a tour guide scheduling every moment of your day. Cruising provides plenty of time for yourself. Whether you want to enjoy the spa or a romantic dinner away from the group, there's plenty of alone time.

Distinctive Voyages Cruises

Hosted Cruise Collection

True to its name, a Distinctive Voyages cruise is different because it comes with a special set of bonus amenities, acquired by our agency
and provided to you at no additional charge.

To start the cruise, you are invited  to a Welcome Reception to meet likeminded VIPs. You’ll meet and become acquainted with the other VIPs in the Distinctive Voyages group. These acquaintances will soon become fast friends as you see them throughout the journey.

Distinctive Voyage Host

For novices and experts alike, every cruise is filled with questions: What time is my dinner reservation? Where is the gym? What's the best way to get to the city center from the dock? On each Distinctive Voyages cruise, you will have easy and constant access to a Distinctive Voyages Host who is always ready to answer your questions. These extremely knowledgeable hosts are carefully selected because they know both the ship and the itinerary inside and out.

Exclusive Shore Events

Guided by local experts, the Exclusive Shore Events are specially-chosen excursions that reveal the true nature of the people and places you will visit, helping you to connect to the culture in a very personal and unforgettable way. These excursions are only available to Distinctive Voyages travelers. Some cruise lines may offer excursions to the general public that are similar, but these excursions add extra experiences to make them extra special to you.

Gather Your Own Group of Friends or Associates for a Group Cruise

If you like to travel as a group, there are rewards that may be available to the group leader, as well as special pricing and amenities for the group travelers. Sharon loves to organize group cruises. Contact her via the form at the bottom of this page, or email her at sharon@travelexpertshamlake.com.

Group cruises are great for girl friend getaways, weddings at sea, fraternal organizations such as Elks clubs, reward travel for businesses, and more! If you think you can get 16 or more people to travel together, you may qualify as a group to receive rewards for the group leader and special benefits for the group travelers.
