The Fundraising Hero
Local Community Club
“We wanted to do a fundraiser for our new local courts. Vincent Vacations helped us add a markup to the group rate that went directly to our club’s construction fund. We brought 40 people, had a blast, and raised over $5,000 for our home courts. The logistical support was incredible.”
No Wind Issues!
Competitive League Group
“I was worried about the wind on the top deck. The agent at Vincent Vacations steered us toward a specific Holland America ship that had shielded, dedicated pickleball courts, not just a basketball court with tape. It made a huge difference for our tournament play.”
Spouses Loved It Too
50th Birthday Group
“I organized a group of 20 for my 50th. Half of us play pickleball religiously, the other half don’t play at all. Vincent Vacations set up the itinerary so the players had court time in the mornings, and we all met up for excursions and dinner. Everyone felt included.”

Pickleball Groups at Sea
Where the Fastest Growing Sport Meets Luxury Travel.
Maximizing Fun: Community, Competition, and Cruising
Organizing a Pickleball group cruise requires more than just a standard travel agent; it requires a strategic partner who understands court logistics and group dynamics. For clubs and socials, these events are a hybrid of active play and vacation relaxation. To ensure your trip is successful—and to ensure you actually get court time—you need an agency with specific cruise line relationships and “Group Leader” expertise.
The Signature Travel Network Advantage
We are proud members of the Signature Travel Network, a distinction that provides your group with benefits that standalone agencies simply cannot offer. When you book your Pickleball group with us, you unlock:
Global Buying Power
Our consortium status gives us a direct line to cruise line group departments. Whether it is clearing waitlists or negotiating private cocktail space, we have the leverage to get it done.
Exclusive Amenities
We can often secure shipboard credits, private receptions, or exclusive shore excursions for your attendees, adding immense value to their ticket price.
The “Gold Standard” of Group Travel

Royal Caribbean Experts
Active Adventure
For groups that want high energy, we know which Royal Caribbean ships convert their massive SeaPlex sports courts into pickleball arenas, allowing for large-scale group play.
Club Fundraising
Play & Profit

The “Hidden” Benefit: “Tour Conductor” Credits
One of the biggest reasons to organize a group of 20+ people (roughly 8-10 cabins) is the financial incentive for the organizer.
- ✔ Travel for Free: Most cruise lines offer one free “berth” (bed) for every 16 full-paying guests (8 double occupancy cabins). You can use this to travel for free as the organizer, or to bring a Pro Coach.
- ✔ Divide the Savings: Alternatively, we can take the value of that free berth and spread the savings across the entire group to lower everyone’s price.
