Planning A Special Event? Consider a Group Cruise

Consider A Group Cruise For Your Next Reunion or Event

For as long as IrSabio Travel Consultants has been in existence, we've encountered a variety of travelers. The vast majority of the people we encounter are people who enjoy cruising. Why not? For many, a cruise vacation gives the the very best of all worlds. Honestly, a cruise is an All-Inclusive vacation with a constant change of scenery. There is plenty of entertainment, more than enough to eat, indeed it is a resort at sea. Perhaps one of the best cruise experiences is the Group Cruise. Why is that? Well, allow me to share some of the benefits of a group cruise.





Reuninon:
Whether you are planning a family reunion, class reunion, fraternal organization reunion, or any other kind of reunion, a group cruise is a truly wonderful idea. imagine you are at sea cruising with your best friends from

high school, people you have not seen in years. Even better, you are on a cruise with family, having the time of your life and meeting people you have never met before in your life. You are at dinner and your party is announced, imagine the pride you feel. Imagine the excitement of discovering places like Belize, Alaska, or other exotic location with your classmate, or family members. Group cruises are certainly fun for all.






Corporate or Company Celebrations:

Your corporation or company sponsors a cruise for their top 10 performers and their spouses or significant others. This is a great opportunity to really show your employees how much your truly value them, and how you honor their commitment to making your corporation or company successful. Are you a marketing firm? Why not reward your top sales people with a five or seven day cruise to the Virgin Islands, Jamaica, of Costa Maya?






Religious Organizations:
Believe it or not, several church marriage or couples ministries often take advantage of group cruises as a way of strengthening the unity of the member within those ministries. Often times, the minister will reserve meeting space so that they can conduct one or two seminars while on the cruise. For these ministries, group cruises are a great was to mix the business of the ministry with the pleasure of a cruise experience. Some churches have such great success that they schedule a group cruise annually.








Fund Raising:

Just supposing you have a Girl Scout Troop who needs to raise money for a trip to California. Perhaps a marching band who needs to raise money for new uniforms. Or maybe you are a member of a social club

who needs to raise funds for a community service event. Group cruises are superb vehicles to be used for fund raisers. Most organizations make arrangements so that a portion of the cruise fare goes to the particular charity or organization. Imagine this, you get the fun and relaxation of a cruise, the band gets new uniforms; that is considered the classic win/win, yes? Even better, you get to tour the ancient Mayan ruins, and your daughter's Girl Scout Troop gets their trip to California. That's right, who's the good dad now? Regardless of the cause, a group cruise makes a great fund raiser because, and let's face it, many people love the cruise. Think of this hypothetical scenario, the cruise price is $500 per person with a guarantee that $100 from each ticket sold will go to the organization raising the funds. The Group Cruise consists of 25 Staterooms with two people in each stateroom. Doing a little quick math, and you just enjoyed an awesome five day cruise, and the organization raising the funds just collected $5000 towards their cause. Win/Win, Yes? You betcha.

Please Pray For Passengers and Crew

This morning, and with profound sadness we wake to the news of the tragic events involving the Costa Cruise Ship Concordia.

Early reports are the Concordia struck a sandbar which in turn cause a breach in her starboard (right) hull. She, the Concordia, was subsequently battered by waves thus causing her to list heavily to her starboard side, and eventually come to rest on her starboard side.

At the writing of this blog post there reports of 3 people confirmed dead, and the Coast Guard suspects more deaths may yet to be determined.

Although this is a very tragic event, IrSabio Travel Consultants would like to bring to light the excellent safety record of Costa Cruise Line. We would also like to commend the crew of the Costa Concordia, whose training was instrumental in ensuring the maximum safety of the passengers during this tragic event. Even the best safety records in the world cannot protect from all freak accidents; however, the training of the Concordia's crew was instrumental in protecting more than 99.95% of the passengers, and that is very impressive.

Let us pause pray for the passengers and crew of the Costa Concordia.

Eternal father, strong to save, whose arms doth bind the restless waves, who bids the mighty ocean deep, its own appointed limits keep. Oh hear us when we cry to the, for those in peril on the sea. Amen.
