Group travel
Group trips are a specialty — not an afterthought
Families, friend groups, celebrations, clubs, multi-room and multi-cabin trips. When a group has to agree on everything, the planning can eat weeks. I help narrow it down to a plan the whole group can say yes to.
- Destination & trip type — cruise, resort, tour or something else
- Dates & timing — realistic windows that work for everyone
- Budget — options that fit what the group is comfortable spending
- Must-haves — the non-negotiables, sorted out early
- Rooms & cruise cabins — categories, locations and occupancy
- Activities & excursions — enough for every kind of traveler
- One point of contact — so the organizer isn't answering 40 questions
- Supplier details — group rules and deadlines checked for the actual trip
Please don't send passport numbers, payment card details or identity documents through this site. Payment and identity verification are always handled directly with the travel supplier.

What travelers say
Real trips. Real feedback.
I went to see one of my favorite bands with my husband and two others. Since the concert was two and a half hours away, we had decided that we weren't going to drive back home afterwards. I found Mike at CNY Travel. Mike was able to find us rooms for the night within walking distance of the venue and at a reasonable rate. I'll definitely be reaching out to Mike again for my next adventure.
