If you’ve ever been in charge of planning a vacation, reunion, or major event for a group — be it family members, a professional organization, fellow fitness fanatics, your college sorority or fraternity, you name it — you know what an all-encompassing endeavor that can be. Most important decision: where to have it? A cruise is the ideal venue as it can accommodate virtually any size group and it offers far more amenities, dining choices, and entertainment options than a land-based hotel or resort. And, let’s not forget the obvious advantage: A cruise allows you to experience a variety of destinations as you deepen bonds with your favorite people.

Holland America Line has been the cruise line of choice for a number of groups over the years. Among them: The Navy Nurse Corps Association. Cruise Specialists had the privilege of arranging their first voyage — for 783 guests! — in 2002. We were there to welcome them back on board this past May when they cruised to Alaska in celebration of the association’s 110th anniversary.
