Transcend Cruises is designed exclusively for groups, and Transcendcruises.com shows that with tools to inspire meeting, incentive, event planners and travel advisors and increase their knowledge of the capabilities offered.

Rounding out the digital experience will be a 'Your Charter' portal where clients have access to detailed information with planning tools and more personalized information including customized itineraries, program plans and updates.

Chief Revenue Officer Kimberly Daley said the team involved its advisory board of experts in group travel, meeting and incentive planners and group-focused travel advisors to 'ensure the site has all the tools our clients require to successfully sell Transcend as well as provide their guests confidence in the ship and company overall.'
