Some Trips Are Better Shared

Travel has a way of bringing people together.

Sometimes it's a group of friends or family celebrating something important. Sometimes it's a community built around a shared interest. And sometimes you join a trip knowing almost no one and come home with people you can't imagine not knowing.

We plan and host group travel with the same philosophy we bring to every trip: the experience matters, but so do the people you're sharing it with.

Because a great group trip should feel like more than everyone booking the same vacation.

Take Your Career to Sea

Part conference, part vacation, and a lot more fun than another weekend in a convention center.

The Barkleigh Pet Pro Cruise brings pet professionals together aboard Royal Caribbean's Enchantment of the Seas for seven nights of education, networking and Caribbean travel from Tampa.

For more than 30 years, this community has connected pet professionals with industry leaders while giving them the opportunity to learn from one another, build relationships and actually enjoy the experience along the way.

The 2027 cruise features internationally recognized grooming educators Sue Zecco and Jay Scruggs, whose combined careers span competition, judging and education around the world.

Come for the education. Bring your team. Meet people who understand your business. Then go have a drink by the pool.
