You bet there’s fun in recovery! Especially when you’re talking about SoberCelebrations.com, a website dedicated to spotlighting sober vacation options. Cost effective, luxurious and most importantly, drug and alcohol free, Sober Celebrations creates vacations that cater to individuals that are in recovery, or simply want to experience a sober vacation.
In 2001, the website, www.SoberCelebrations.com was built as a labor of love so folks could go on vacation knowing fellowship would be onboard when they arrived. The 1st annual fall cruise in 2002 had 54 attendees. In 2005, 200 cruisers got onboard the mega ship, Mariner of the Seas for a fabulous cruise and 12 Step History Conference.
In 2006, 130 cruisers were fortunate enough to get Sober Celebrations cabins onboard the Inaugural Halloween Sailing of Freedom of the Seas, the largest cruise ship in the world. Members of Sober Celebrations had staterooms before most people ever heard of this ship and for the 2nd year in a row, Gratitude Cruise attendees won one of the ship’s awards for best group costume!
The Gratitude Cruise is Sober Celebration’s trademarked cruise which follows the guidelines from General Service for Conference, Conventions and Round Ups while vacationing in the general population. This venture is neither affiliated nor endorsed by Alcoholics Anonymous but the Gratitude Cruise identifies cruises of quality and gives the company the greatest flexibility as a Cruise Line International Association member to negotiate for the group, and take it on any ship, any time, any place keeping the goals of privacy and quality, and cost effectiveness as its top priorities.
The itinerary for each trip is different. Onboard arrangements for locations, times, equipment, etc. are made via email with the ship long before anyone arrives. Meetings are created around ship board events and port visits in order to give the greatest vacation flexibility. Each itinerary is included in the Welcome Aboard packet attendees receive at the gathering on the first day of the cruise.
The time, location, and other details of many 12 step meeting are listed in a portable schedule which folds easily into name tags. While registration is mandatory, participation in any and all events is optional. Book your sober vacation online today at www.SoberCelebrations.com
