Raise Thousands of Dollars for Your Church With a Fundraising Cruise

September 15, 2011

The Travel Group Department, LLC, and Cruise Holidays at the Stateline, a member of the world’s oldest network of cruise specialists, have joined forces to develop breakthrough enhancements to a fundraising program that was already recognized as one of the most efficient and effective in the cruise industry.

There’s no more exciting vacation than a cruise, and cruise lines continue to innovate at an unprecedented pace. Today’s cruise ships feature a broad choice of dining styles and cuisines, ranging from casual dining to specialty theme restaurants. Staterooms are spacious and finely appointed, with balconies as the most popular option. Cruise ship service is always impeccable and always unobtrusive. The top-notch entertainment ranges from variety shows to Broadway and Las Vegas revues in opera-style theaters. Cruises offer an endless array of activities suited to a diverse range of interests, and they visit the most interesting destinations throughout the world. Perhaps most important, though, is that cruises are easy to plan and are, without question, the very best vacation value available anywhere. The popularity and high satisfaction rating of cruises make them an ideal tool for fundraisers.

Our fundraising program has proven itself time and again, having raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for organizations over the years. It requires minimal effort and no financial investment on the part of your church. We handle all the work, from start to finish, and provide all the marketing materials, so it costs you nothing to try.

In addition to the great fundraising opportunity it affords, our program offers, you or the person you designate, the opportunity to receive a free cruise, exclusive of port fees, taxes, and airline flights, for every fifteen full fare passengers who cruise with you.

Here are a few examples of what our clients have said about us:

“It’s been a great and rewarding experience to work with them. I have worked with
them for eight years and we always get high quality service.”
H. Miller, Our Lady’s Catholic Church

“You folks are great! I have never had such personal attention from a travel
agency before.”
              Bishop Perry, Archdiocese of Chicago

“I have planned three cruises using their services. They take you through the process,
step-by-step, and are available to answer any questions as well as solve any
problems.”
               E. Veter, New York

“They are excellent people that really stand by what they say. I have been dealing
