We’ve been keeping a little secret... and now it’s time to share it: I’m officially a licensed travel advisor! 🎉
After spending over two years living at sea, cruising with 12 different cruise lines, and sailing on 58 ships and counting, it was a natural next step. Now I get to help others create unforgettable cruise experiences—and nothing excites me more than curating group cruises that bring people together.
What’s a Group Cruise Anyway?
Great question! A group cruise is just what it sounds like: a special sailing where you and your friends, family, fans, or followers all book on the same cruise and get to enjoy extra perks, exclusive events, and shared memories together.
You can have as few as 8 cabins to qualify for group benefits—and from there, the sky’s the limit! Group cruises can be themed, chill, celebratory, luxurious, adventurous, or all of the above.
And guess what? They can go anywhere in the world and sail on any ship. 🌍⛴️
Why I’m So Passionate About Group Cruises
Cruising has been our full-time lifestyle for the last few years. We sold our house, moved into an RV between sailings, and now hop from ship to ship documenting our travels on our YouTube channel, KirkToriStory.
But it’s not just about the travel—it’s about the people we meet.
That’s why we’re planning our first-ever group cruises for 2026! Whether you're a fellow nomad, a cruise-curious traveler, or someone who just loves the idea of having an amazing vacation with amazing people, we’d love to cruise with you.
Want to Plan Your Own Group Cruise?
