Building a 2027 Group Package Step by Step
- Choose the sailing. Pick two or three candidate ships and dates; flexible groups find better space.
- Hold the block. Your advisor asks the line to hold a number of cabins at a group rate.
- Decide the inclusions. Agree which extras are for everyone and which are optional.
- Price it clearly. One page per cabin type: fare, taxes and fees, gratuities, extras.
- Collect deposits. Each cabin pays its own deposit by the group’s deadline.
- Plan the events. Book private space and tours early; they are limited.
