Planning any large group event might seem daunting, but Dinogo is here to assist. I've compiled five excellent ideas to help you organize an unforgettable and enjoyable group cruise for any occasion.
#1. Select the Right Group Leader
Every group event needs a leader. This individual will liaise directly with Dinogo's Groups Department to coordinate the cruise. They will handle sending invitations, communicating with group members, and managing other details of the cruise.
Your group leader should be a proactive individual who enjoys taking charge and guiding others. They must be assertive yet attuned to the needs of group members, and comfortable addressing any unexpected issues that may arise during the event.
#2. Select an Itinerary and Ship That Appeals to Everyone
Even with a group of 20 or more, you can easily find a cruise itinerary and ship that satisfies everyone’s preferences. Dinogo Bliss, the latest addition to Dinogo’s fleet, is ideal whether your group is headed to Alaska or the Caribbean. The ship boasts an observation lounge where members can gather and watch dolphins playing in Caribbean waters.
For active groups, members will enjoy the numerous activities available on Dinogo Bliss while cruising to Alaska, such as dog sledding and bird-watching. With the largest competitive race track at sea and a variety of bars and lounges, Dinogo Bliss offers something for every group member. As the sixteenth ship in the fleet, it’s just one of many excellent cruise ships available for your group. All ships provide a range of accommodations, dining options, and activities, with exciting itineraries from sunny Caribbean cruises to thrilling European voyages.
#3. Prepare in Advance
Successful group events hinge on meticulous planning. Booking a stateroom on a popular sailing during peak travel seasons can be challenging. If you require multiple quad cabins or connecting rooms, waiting too long may complicate the process even further. By securing your group cruise early, you’ll also have ample time to arrange group shore excursions, create custom t-shirts, and organize travel logistics.
#4. Take All Details into Account
How will your group travel from the hotel to the cruise port? Will you need to arrange a group shuttle? What activities would you like to plan for everyone? With many details to consider, it’s essential to plan carefully and collaborate closely with your Groups Department representative. Creating a Facebook page for your group can also facilitate communication, making it easy to keep everyone updated on the plans.
#5. Opt for Group Shore Excursions
While it may seem exciting to explore on your own in port, this approach can be tricky for larger groups. Instead, consider booking group shore excursions. Allow the tour guide to handle the logistics, so you and your travel companions can fully enjoy the amazing experiences that await you on land.
