Group Discounts
The most common— and most appreciated— way travel advisors help groups is by saving them money. We can help reduce rates with group blocks on cruises and at hotels when you book 10 or more rooms, though sometimes you only need to lock in eight rooms to get the discount. We manage this block, so the price doesn’ t spike as more people join.
In addition, there’ s an insider trick called the Tour Conductor Credit. On many cruises and all-inclusive packages, for every 10-16 people booked, the company provides one free spot. We can then apply this credit to lower the price for everyone or give the group leader a free trip.
Exclusive Perks
Since we belong to a travel advisor network, we can secure exclusive perks that groups cannot get on their own. For example, on hundreds of cruise departures every year, we can set up your entire group with the services of a Distinctive Voyages Host, an invitation to a Private Welcome Reception and Exclusive Shore Event.
We also have access to comprehensive hotel programs that provide your group benefits such as hotel credit, complimentary breakfast, early check-in and late checkout, upgrades when available and free Wi-Fi.
You may be able to find an online price that matches the one we give you, but when you calculate all the benefits we provide on top of the price— along with the peace of mind of knowing we have your back in case anything goes wrong during your trip— our price includes much more value.
