Plan A Group Cruise Vacation and Reconnect with Friends and Family

Article by Cruise Holidays South Metro

As a large number of American grandparents remain physically and financially fit, multi-generation vacations are becoming increasingly popular in the United States. Cruise vacations that span over three generations are the best choice for family members looking to spend quality time with each other. There are several cruise travel agencies in the Minneapolis St. Paul area that arrange cruise packages for people wanting to travel in a group.

Group cruise vacations are a great way for people to come together and reconnect with friends and family members. Typically, a group is defined as needing a minimum of 8 double occupancy cabins. There are several benefits of booking a group cruise. The larger the group, the better the perks and each individual?s expense is lower. A group cruise of about 10-15 people often has a 20 to 30% discount on package prices. Besides the discounts, there are several other perks for people booking a Minneapolis St. Paul group cruise package.

While some cruise liners offer a free cruise for the cruise organizer, others offer onboard amenities like complimentary wine or champagne, chocolates, cocktail parties, shipboard credits, casino credits, spa services, private gatherings, discount coupon books, and so on. Usually a fixed number of amenities are added to each cruise, and it?s up to the group organizer to choose which amenities the group wants. Popular cruise vacation ideas include wedding cruises, family reunions, corporate cruises, and even special interest cruises.

While it?s easy form a group for the group cruise package, it may not be easy to organize the group. This is where an experienced cruise travel agency can help. Usually, a travel agency will plan for all the travel particulars, from air reservations, to ground transportation, and sometimes will escort the group to the ship for the check-in. A travel agency that is knowledgeable about group cruises will eliminate a lot of headaches and frustrations the group leader would have had to endure.

When looking to book a group cruise, the best way is to book one through a Minneapolis St. Paul cruise travel agency. Most cruise travel agencies block group space and sell them to cruise vacationers looking for group cruises. These travel agencies manage everything right from promoting the group, booking the cruise, handling the payment process, documentation requirements, and meeting special requests from group members.

So if you live in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area, and you?re looking for the best family cruises, make sure to book a group package. Besides the cost factor, these packages easily keep everyone entertained. So, while the kids are having fun at the PS2, grandparents get to enjoy a game of bridge at the casino, and parents get to relax at the yoga classes.

Create Your Own Dream Honeymoon Cruise Vacation

Article by Peter Womersley

Hawaii and the Caribbean are popular choices for a honeymoon cruise vacation, especially for winter weddings. The main advantage of booking a honeymoon cruise to Hawaii or the Caribbean for your luxury honeymoon vacation is that with a cruise you get to see several of these fabulous islands, rather than just one.

The Honeymooner’s Review Guide puts Hawaii as the number one destination for luxury honeymoons and the dramatic coastline, white sandy beaches and colourful Hawaiian culture weave their own spell in this idyllic honeymoon destination, making it a dream honeymoon to remember. A honeymoon cruise vacation to the Caribbean is equally appealing and for Europeans is a much shorter flight to Miami to embark. With guaranteed sunshine and a quiet beach in almost every port, a luxury cruise vacation is a great way to spend the first weeks of married life.

Booking a honeymoon cruise vacation is very easy using one of the honeymoon cruise packages. Many cruise lines also offer a wedding ceremony package. It is worth comparing the different honeymoon cruise options and choosing the best value for you. Some cruise lines offer all-inclusive honeymoon cruise vacations including romantic extras such as champagne in the cabin and a complimentary honeymoon gift. Carnival Cruises offer a complimentary wedding cake for those booking a honeymoon cruise vacation, along with flowers, chocolates and cabin decorations. However tables for two are pretty limited. Celebrity Cruises offers honeymoon cruise packages for an additional fee which includes breakfast in bed, champagne, souvenir engraved flutes, flowers, bathrobes and chocolates, making this a week-long dream honeymoon cruise vacation.

Holland America Line has so many honeymooners on board that it hosts a complimentary Honeymooners Party at sea and couples receive a honeymoon certificate. The package also includes flowers and a silver keepsake photograph frame. As you would expect from this specialist in luxury honeymoons, tables for two are guaranteed.

Although cruises typically have up to 3000 passengers onboard, honeymooners can easily find their own quiet space. Upgrading your cabin may be part of certain honeymoon cruise packages. With your own private balcony, table and sun loungers, it is the perfect space to enjoy private dinners beneath the stars on room service, leisurely late breakfasts delivered to your cabin or a quiet place to read and sunbathe. Lounge bars have comfortable seating and during the day you can have the space almost to yourself. Days in port also mean you can enjoy the ship’s pool in relative peace.

Another big plus on a honeymoon cruise vacation is the wonderful spa treatments available onboard with some of the best views on the ship, but you need to book early. Enjoy a relaxing massage, or treat your loved one to his or her favourite beauty treatment as a surprise. A ship’s spa has all the latest technology to provide deep facials, superb Swedish massages, hot stone treatments and reflexology. Expensive but worth it is the general consensus of opinion.

Days ashore on Caribbean islands are a great opportunity for a relaxing couples massage on the beach in a private cabana. The sea breeze, rustling palm leaves and soothing sounds of the gentle waves are all part of this blissful experience.

Wherever you choose to visit on your dream honeymoon cruise vacation it is sure to be a great start to a lifetime together.

If you are a potential first time cruiser looking for a honeymoon cruise there is a great deal of further information that you need to know about cruising and this can be found at
