How about a FREE vacation. As a Group Leader, you could earn free passage on a cruise.
Here's how it works... If you have at least 16 people ( 8 double occupancy cabins required ) who are interested in taking a cruise together, you could earn a free cruise. The cruise line will award a free berth ( another word for bed ) for every 8 cabins your group reserves. On some cruises, it can be as few as five cabins.
Here's an example of the number of free berths (beds) your group earns:
- 8 cabins (16 guests) booked = 1 Free Bed
- 16 cabins (32 guests) booked = 2 Free Beds (equal to 1 free cabin)
- 24 cabins (48 guests) booked = 3 Free Beds
- 32 cabins (64 guests) booked = 4 Free Beds (equal to 2 free cabins)
- 100 cabins (200 guests) booked = 12 Free Beds (equal to 6 free cabins)
Cruise Lines only award the value of the cruise fare only. Port charges, taxes and government fees are not free and must be paid by everyone in the group, including the Tour Leader. Each cruise line has its own group leader policy and they vary depending upon the cruise line.
Converting Free Berths
Here are a few ways group leaders can take advantage of earned berths:
You Sail Free
Keep the free bed for yourself and cruise for free and even earn extra spending money if enough people travel with the group. This is agreed upon in advance and can be kept confidential.
Lower the Per Person Price
You can take the value of the free berth (s) and divide it among the others in the group as an additional discount. Since the number of free berths depends on the number of cabins that actually sail, the additional discounts are applied at final payment or as a rebate after the group returns from the cruise.
Personal Best Cruise Spot Escort
You can hire an on-board group escort to help coordinate on-board and on-shore activities. Use one of free berths to cover the escorts passage. A separate special services fee may apply.
Invite A Special Guest
Invite a guest lecturer or celebrity. This could be a local pastor, radio or tv personality or an expert in your field whose participation may encourage others to join your group.
Shore Tours
Take the value of the free berths and apply them towards the purchase of shore excursions like sightseeing tours, snorkeling, fishing adventures or a glacier helicopter landing.
In Cabin Amenities
Give everyone an in cabin gifts like fruit baskets, wine, or chocolates.
