We Are The Industry Leader

Gadabout Travel is a leader in the industry when it comes to group cruise travel. At any one time, we will have at least 150 active groups booked. What does this mean? We have clout with our vendors. Our staff is trained and familiar with operating groups so that our clients get the most for their dollar. And, we offer diverse options to our clients for substantial savings!

A Lot Of Groups

How can we have so many groups? Well, Gadabout Travel has been around since 1981. We've been serving the Space and Treasure Coast areas of Florida for over 20 years. Port Canaveral is in our backyard. Most people come to our offices as referrals when they relocate to Sunny Florida. Once they get hooked on the cruising lifestyle, they normally want to try other ports with different itineraries. They usually take friends with them so we put together groups. Since we have been operating so many groups for such a long period of time, you can rest assured that we can manage all the details specific to you and your group. Nothing will fall between the cracks!

Preferred Vendors

Who are our preferred vendors? Well, that's an easy question. They all are. Whereas most agencies may use a specific cruise line or tour operator for their niche, we operate groups as our niche and use all the available vendors. We realize that every client has unique preferences and we match their personalities and lifestyles with the appropriate cruise line or tour operator. This practice has made us national accounts or key accounts across the board.

Trained Staff

Many full service agencies have closed since September 11, 2001. Not only have we maintained our foothold in the community, we have continued growing! We can attribute this to our staff. Our agents have over 200 years of collective travel experience. They have seen many changes in the industry over the years and adapted. They have continued their education and training as well. They all know the best way to serve their clients. And the best part is that they all love what they do.

Savings

Savings - that's what it's all about. You are able to get perks and savings with your group cruise booking or group travel. We will be able to get rates and amenities that are better than published rates. Of course, your date of travel will impact your savings. Our agents can guide you to the most advantageous options for you!

Amenities

This is the best part of group travel! Depending on the time of year that you cruise, how far in advance you reserve your space, and which cruise line and ship you choose, your group cruise booking will be eligible for extra perks for traveling called amenities. Please take note that these all vary and continue to change. Some examples may include: onboard credit, transfers / bus transportation, cabin upgrades, free cocktail parties, or free travel for your group leader. Gadabout Travel has put together some great fundraising programs of our own, too. Call us for more details.

Incentive Travel

Yes, you probably read about Incentive Groups and Incentive Travel on other websites. Cruise ships and all inclusive resorts are great places for business meetings and conferences. Remember, when you're aboard a cruise ship meeting rooms and A/V equipment are available at no cost. There are plenty of opportunities for private parties for your group. Special dietary needs can be addressed. We do handle land based meetings and conferences as well. We have numerous options for your business including:

• Corporate Meetings
