Group Travel

Your only responsibility is to gather your group of interested travelers for your designated departure. We handle everything else—reservations, customer service, and all needs while on tour.

For Guided vacations, group compensation is earned with at least 9 paying guests. For an exclusive group departure, a minimum group size of 17 people is required. To reserve a private boat, you need 22-30 travelers to fill some of the Waterways vacations. For Self-Guided vacations, group compensation is earned with at least 8 paying guests.

Simply gather a group of 10 travelers plus yourself on any VBT Bicycling or Walking Vacation and as the 11th guest of the group you will qualify for our free trip reimbursement.

For Guided vacations, the Group Organizer discount is calculated based on the average amount paid per person excluding Travel Protection Plan, air upgrades, cabin upgrades, business class upgrades, and applied credits. Please note: The Group discount cannot be combined with the Refer-a-Friend Program, Promotional Discounts, or Web Specials.

For Self-Guided vacations, you’ll receive $100 for each guest if you have between 8 and 12 guests in your group. Please note: The Group discount can be combined with the Refer-a-Friend Program, Promotional Discounts, and Web Specials.

You can expect to receive your check in the mail approximately two weeks before you depart.

You are eligible to earn $150 in Travel Certificates for each new traveler you refer through our Referral Program.

Yes. In fact we recommend they do just that! Your Group Tour Manager will provide you with a Group Number after you have selected a tour and departure date. Your group member should call our Tour Consultants with the Group Number at 1-855-445-5510, Mon–Fri (8:30AM-6:30PM, EST) and Sat (10:00AM-3:00PM, EST).

They will need to put down a deposit of $350 per person ($500 for Bike & Boat) by check over the phone or credit card. They will also need their contact information, special dietary requests, an emergency contact, and passport information.

If your group is flying out of the same city, we make every effort to reserve seats on the same flight if seat availability allows.

Travel advisor groups are not combinable with our direct Group Travel Program benefits.  Travel Advisors discounts are not available on direct Group Reservations and will not be considered part of the total group count for the purpose of rebates. Please contact us for more information on our Travel Advisor Groups Program.
