Hays Travel homeworker secures £120,000 wedding party cruise booking

A wedding party for 90 passengers costing more than £120,000 has been booked by Hays Travel with Carnival Cruise Line for next year.

Hays Travel personal travel consultant homeworker Charlotte Hopkin secured the booking.

She said: “The customer has booked with me before and got in touch asking for ideas on how to celebrate her wedding.

“It needed to be a fun and lively cruise, with something that catered for all ages. Carnival was the one that ticked all the boxes.

“The Carnival groups department held off around 50 cabins, so it gave customers plenty of time to book if they couldn’t afford to do so straight away. This made the process so much easier.”

The group are taking a seven-day eastern Caribbean cruise from Miami on November 9, 2025, on Carnival Celebration.

Ports of call include Carnival’s Celebration Key private Bahamas destination, San Juan and St Thomas.

A selection of passengers in the wedding party have also booked a back-to-back voyage, calling at Grand Turk, Amber Cove, Nassau and Celebration Key.

The line’s UK & international sales director Luke Smith said: “We’ve seen a clear increase in the number of groups choosing to sail with Carnival, as guests look to mark key milestones with their family and friends.

“This wedding party booking will be the perfect way for guests to celebrate a special occasion and we cannot wait to welcome everyone onboard.

“We’d like to thank our partners at Hays Travel for their hard work and support in making this possible.”
