Roundtrip Airport & Cruise Transfers (Request Custom Quote)
Available until May 31, 2027

$0.00

 

Enhance your 75th Birthday Celebration experience with seamless ground transportation arranged for you.

This add-on includes:

• Airport → Group Hotel transfer
• Group Hotel → Cruise Terminal transfer
• Cruise Terminal → Airport transfer

All transfers will be coordinated to align with the group’s hotel stay and cruise embarkation/disembarkation schedule to ensure smooth and stress-free travel.

This option is ideal for guests who prefer not to arrange rides, navigate unfamiliar cities, or coordinate last-minute transportation on travel days.

Sit back, relax, and let the logistics be handled for you — from touchdown to sail away and back home.

 

Transfers apply to flights arriving and departing within the designated group travel window. Guests arriving outside of these times may require private transportation at an additional cost.

Roundtrip Airfare Coordination (Request Custom Quote)
Available until June 30, 2027

$0.00

Enhance your 76th Celebration experience by allowing DTJ to coordinate your round-trip airfare.

Airfare will be quoted based on your departure city, preferred cabin (Economy, Premium Economy, Business, or First Class), and availability at the time of booking.

DTJ will research flight options aligned with the group’s hotel stay and cruise embarkation to ensure a seamless travel experience.

Once flight options are approved, an invoice will be issued for payment.

We will:

• Research and secure the best available flight options from your home city
• Align flight times with the group hotel stay and cruise departure schedule
• Monitor for schedule changes and assist with airline communication if needed
• Provide guidance on baggage, seat selection, and travel day logistics

This add-on is ideal for guests who prefer a seamless, stress-free planning experience without managing their own flights.

Airfare pricing will vary based on departure city and availability at the time of booking. A separate invoice will be issued once flight options are confirmed and approved.

Let us handle the details so you can focus on celebrating.

Guests who book independent airfare are responsible for managing their own airline reservations, schedule changes, and travel day logistics.
