BECOME A GROUP LEADER

Group Cruise Leader

Group sizes vary by cruise line. However, the rule of thumb for most cruise lines is eight (8) cabins traveling together on the same departure and same ship. Group space has been blocked in through Synergy Tours & Cruises. Also, the members of the group have enough of a special relationship among themselves to separate them from the general public. This is called an affinity group. 
 

Group Tour Leader
Group sizes vary by tour. However, the rule of thumb for most tours are 1 free double comp for every 20 paid passenger. Group space has been blocked in through Synergy Tours & Cruises, reservations may be made with you or directly with us. Also, the members of the group have enough of a special relationship among themselves to separate them from the general public. This is called an affinity group. 

Our experience shows that groups with affinity convert into real sales far more often than those without the benefit of affinity. There are a lot of reasons for this:

1. A group's desire and willingness to share common experiences.
2. The ease and effectiveness of communication to group members.
3. The power of key influencers (YOU) to encourage member participation.

WHAT'S IN IT FOR THE GROUP LEADER?

If you have a take-charge personality, then you're a natural born group leader. That is, a "pied piper", who can rally friends and colleagues for a cruise vacation of a lifetime. Of course, as a group leader, you'll have a few duties to perform with Synergy Tours & Cruises, but the benefits far outweigh the effort. Here's why:

1. You'll travel free, or at the very least, for a drastically reduced rate. Most cruise lines offer one berth free (called a "Tour Conductor" berth) for every 8 cabins sold. As the group leader, you may use this berth or pass the savings on to the group so that everyone sails for less. For tours it is usually 1 share double for every 20 paid people.

2. You will have the planning privileges and luxury of choice. Group leaders are "in the know". You're the key player in planning special events, Synergy Tours & Cruises and your group. And, when the group enjoys the best vacation of their lives, you'll also be the hero. Traveling as a group is a win/win situation. It makes sense and (cents) to travel as a group. First of all, it's a lot of fun. In fact, there's nothing better than living the life fantastic in the company of your friends. Even first-time cruisers can acquaint themselves with shipboard life while feeling at home traveling with people they know.

Aside from the comfort level of traveling in numbers, groups also travel at handsomely discounted fares not available to the general public. On a cruise, almost everything your group needs is accounted for and included in the cost of your cruise. Elegant and casual dining, nightly entertainment, comfortable staterooms and outstanding service. What's more, the group can enjoy a variety of exotic islands and explore new places without the hassles of arranging transportation, hotel reservations or constant packing an unpacking. When you cruise, your hotel travels with you from the Caribbean to Europe or around the world. 

It all boils down to value - something Synergy Tours & Cruises gives you more of, for less.

Becoming a group leader is an exciting phase of the travel industry that has evolved with the growing variety of vacations. Group leaders contract with Synergy Tours & Cruises, which specializes in cruises and tours, to take groups on their vacations and provide them with a myriad of services for the duration of the travel event.

Although becoming a group leader demands special skills - the good news is that most of those skills can be acquired. Your age and gender are not as important as an upbeat attitudes, good health and physical stamina. Your past or present occupation or having a college degree are not the keys to becoming a successful group leader. The keys to success are that you:

1. Enjoy traveling.
2. Like people.
3. Are a good listener.
4. Use common sense to solve problems.
5. Stay calm in emergencies.
6. Have a creative flair.
7. Love to host parties.
