Between Facebook and Twitter, Travel Leaders Leisure Group brands have a community of 370,000+. Our brands are diverse, and they’ve all grown online communities representative of the brand.
I’m fortunate to have found two things that get my blood pumping with excitement: Cruising and the Future of the Social Web.
Combining those passions, I’ve planned and co-hosted 4 social media cruises:
2 Social Fresh Cruises & 2 #SeaTweetups
I also helped plan and book the #Cruise4Haiti fundraising cruise with @cruisebuzz & @kidtravel.
There are several other successful group cruises that we’ve planned and promoted solely through social media.
I’m a leading cruise price & trend researcher. The sharing of this information online via CruiseSource and social media has lead to many interviews by major publications. I have linked to some below.

I fell in love with cruising because it is the most social form of vacationing. I come off the cruise ship with a list of new friends that I meet at dinners, in the casino, on excursions, by the pool bar, etc. Cruising with large groups of people who share a common interests takes cruising to the next level. Utilizing time at sea for activities like Poker, Bridge, Sewing, Continuing Ed., Seminars, etc. increases the value of your cruise experience. Have you thought of planning a large group cruise? 100+ people. We have a history of big successes in large group and themed cruises. Contact me we’ll make it a success: rtucker@cruisedeals.com
