Hosted and theme cruises
A shared planner for hosted and theme cruise groups
Hosted groups need more than the cruise line’s itinerary. They need a simple way to present optional port experiences, keep subgroups organized and give travelers a reliable place to recheck the plan.
Step 1
Build around the group’s identity
Music, alumni, LGBTQ+, recovery, hobby and professional groups can organize relevant port options without forcing every traveler into the same activity.
Optional excursion tracks
Shared sailing schedule
Step 2
Make the organizer’s job smaller
A structured page answers recurring questions about dates, choices, meeting information and who is participating.
Fewer repeated messages
Clear option summaries
Current instructions
Step 3
Support organized group bookings
When a provider can accommodate the group together, keep the booking and instructions coordinated. When interests split, maintain separate activities inside the same cruise plan.
One or several group choices
Provider confirmation
Private organizer support
