"We are
so thrilled with the number of passengers we have, and we just started promoting the cruise!"
~Convention Activities Committee 2009 post convention cruise group
Have you considered offering a group cruise
after your upcoming convention?
A post-convention cruise gives your members an additional reason to travel from distant areas to attend your convention and many other benefits.
Few travel companies have the resources and expertise to handle large cruise groups. Azumano Travel is uniquely qualified to combine cruise line negotiations and group management with the ability to contract for charter air, hotels and detailed land arrangements.
If fund raising is your goal, our Revenue Sharing Program can help you. Try our Revenue Sharing Calculator to see how your group can benefit from a group cruise.
