GROUP TRAVEL

SALTWATER TRAVEL COMPANY

Groups Done Differently

Custom group adventures we’ll still be talking about 10 years from now.

For travelers who would choose an unforgettable experience over having a butler. We don't do Boring. 

These aren’t cookie-cutter tours built around crowded buses, matching name tags and racing from one landmark to the next.

Saltwater Travel group trips are created for people who want to experience a destination—trying the food, meeting the locals, wandering somewhere unexpected, laughing until their stomach hurts and coming home with stories worth retelling.

Come as a couple, bring your friends or join us on your own. You’ll travel with a welcoming group of people who are ready to say yes to new places, new friendships and a whole lot of fun.

This Is Group Travel—Saltwater Travel Style
  • Adults Only and Gen X experiences

  • Carefully planned without feeling overplanned

  • Memorable experiences instead of ordinary sightseeing

  • Incredible destinations with time to actually enjoy them

  • Great food, local culture and a little adventure

  • Welcoming groups where couples, friends and solo travelers belong

  • The details handled so you can be fully present

 

We don’t measure a great trip by thread counts, white gloves or how fancy the lobby looks. We measure it by how many times someone says, “I can’t believe we just did that.”

Choose Your Kind of Adventure
Join a Saltwater Travel Hosted Group

Want an incredible vacation without trying to convince all your friends to coordinate dates, budgets and plans? Join one of our hosted group adventures.

 

We create experience-packed itineraries in unforgettable destinations and bring together travelers who are excited to explore, connect and have fun.

You can arrive knowing no one and leave with a group chat that may never stop.

Bring Your Own Group

Celebrating a milestone birthday, anniversary, retirement or simply deciding it’s finally time to take that trip together?

We create custom group trips for friends, families, clubs and communities. You bring the people and the reason to celebrate. We’ll help create the experience, coordinate the details and make it easier for everyone to actually get there.

Because the best group trips aren’t just vacations. They become part of your story.

 
 
The Kind of Trips We Love
Cheers to Europe
Oktoberfest & Alpine Escape

Raise a glass in Bavaria, wander charming Alpine villages, and experience one of the world's most iconic celebrations surrounded by breathtaking mountain scenery.

Think lively beer gardens, storybook towns, local traditions, incredible food, and unforgettable moments shared with fellow travelers who love experiencing the world as much as you do.

Alpine Christmas
Munich • Salzburg • Innsbruck 

Step into a real-life Christmas movie where twinkling lights, festive markets, snow-covered mountains, and the aroma of roasted chestnuts create pure holiday magic.

Sip mulled wine, browse handcrafted gifts, enjoy cozy evenings, and embrace the traditions that make Christmas in Europe unlike anything you've ever experienced.

Sip Through Europe 
Wine, Rivers & Villages

Slow down and savor Europe one charming village at a time.

Picture scenic vineyards, riverside cafés, local wineries, beautiful landscapes, unforgettable meals, and relaxed afternoons that remind you life was never meant to be rushed.

This is Europe at its most authentic.

Pubs, Castles & Stories
Ireland & Scotland

Rolling green landscapes, dramatic coastlines, centuries-old castles, lively pubs, traditional music, dinner with locals, and the kind of hospitality that makes you feel like you've always belonged.

Come for the scenery. Leave with stories you'll be sharing for years.

More Experiences. Better Stories.

Our trips are for travelers who believe the best years aren’t behind them—and the best memories may still be waiting somewhere across the world.

You don’t need to wait for the perfect time, the perfect travel companion or someday.

Come curious. Come ready to laugh. Come ready to experience something you’ll never forget.
