GROUP LEADER FREE CRUISE PROGRAM
CRUISE FOR FREE
You can earn a free cruise by becoming a group leader! Just read the information below to get started.
WHO IS A GROUP LEADER?
A group leader is the person who encourages a group of their friends,family or co-workers to take a cruise vacation together on the same ship. The group leader can cruise for free or at a greatly reduced rate.
HOW DOES THE GROUP LEADER CRUISE FOR FREE?
The cruise line will award a free tour conductor berth (bed) for every so many staterooms your group books. The typical group will need to book a minimum of eight staterooms to earn the free bed. There's usually no restriction on the number of free beds you can earn, so as long as you keep booking staterooms, you group can keep earning free beds.
WHAT IS A TOUR CONDUCTOR?
The Tour Conductor is the person setting up and escorting the group. To compensate you for bringing the group together, we will award you the FREE Tour Conductor berth. You will pay for the stateroom up front, and the cost of the berth is refunded to you after the sailing is finalized. You may keep this yourself, or divide it equally among your group. It is your decision.
WHO PAYS THE FEES AND TAXES?
You will pay the applicable fees and taxes for your stateroom. Cruise Lines only award the value of the cruise itself. Fees and government taxes must be paid by the group. Each cruise line has its own group leader policy and they may vary depending upon the cruise line. Only the 1st 2 people in the stateroom count towards your free berths.
HOW MANY FREE BERTHS CAN THE GROUP EARN?
8 staterooms (16 guests) traveling = 1 Free Berth
16 staterooms (32 guests) traveling = 2 Free Berths (1 free stateroom)
24 staterooms (48 guests) traveling = 3 Free Berths
32 staterooms (64 guests) traveling = 4 Free Berths (2 free staterooms)
100 staterooms (200 guests) traveling = 12 Free Berths (6 free staterooms)
WHAT KIND OF STATEROOM WILL I HAVE?
You will book your stateroom in the category you desire. The Free Tour Conductor berth is based on the most staterooms sold in any one category. If you sell the most staterooms in a balcony category, your refund will be based on the cost of the stateroom in that category.
WHERE DO I FIND PEOPLE FOR MY GROUP?
Friends & Neighbors
Family Reunions
Social Clubs
Graduation Parties & Reunions
Veteran/Military Communities
Wedding & Religious Outings
