We all have those seminal anniversaries that mark our passage through life like a series of milestones. From wedding anniversaries to divorces, graduations to promotions, or even landmark birthdays from 21 to 100 plus, there's always going to be those singular, spectacular occasions when we want to get together with friends and families to mark something significant, surrounded by the people who mean most to us.
And truly, there are few better ways to mark such events than on board a cruise. Most cruise companies will be happy to work with you to create a special, exclusive series of events for your own little group. And why wouldn't they? A group of, say, ten upwards means five full cabins for the cruise line, and a guaranteed revenue stream that's not to be sneezed at, either. Believe me, they want to make your big event special, too.
The trick is to find the right date in advance, get a good grasp of the numbers involved, and then talk to a good, reliable travel agent. You might very well be able to negotiate an overall group rate at reduced fares, or qualify for extras such as free on board spending, or shore excursions in certain ports for the whole group. The cruise line will certainly be more than happy to organise a special, private party for you at an exclusive on board venue to mark the big day. Everything is handy and convenient here, and nothing is left to chance.
You can arrange your big event to last any duration, from two to twenty days plus. And, the bigger the group you take, then naturally the more buying power you have, and you will find the cruise line you choose more amenable in sugaring the pill. Most cruise lines organise incentive voyages for large corporations, and even full ship charters for hundreds of delegates at a time, so organising Uncle Phil's sixtieth birthday bash in the Caribbean will be no great hardship for them.
And of course, there's an undeniable cachet about taking a cruise to celebrate, a sense of occasion enjoyed in true, platinum chip style. And, wehn you're talking about bringing together what can be a hugely diverse age group, then only a cruise ship really cuts the rug in terms of overall inclusivity, choice of accommodations across a wide scale, and sheer breadth of leisure and entertainment options for all ages across the spectrum. Quite literally, it's a no brainer.
All things considered, a sure fire winner all round.
