Take A Cruise

Leave the stress of senior year behind with a graduation cruise! Cruising is a great way to wrap up great years with great friends. Today’s cruise ships have so much to offer thrill-seeking grads.

Rock climb, ice skate, enjoy live shows, waterslide, and eat like kings and queens. Sing karaoke, dance, and take part in tons of ship activities designed just for students. Explore new places and try new things in exotic ports of call. There’s so much to do on a senior class cruise and lots of student-friendly cruise lines from which to choose. Ease into your new reality by cruising the world!

Enjoy the Beach

Warm sunshine, surf, and sand call to seniors everywhere! Beaches are a standard senior class trip favorite. Check out Clearwater, Florida’s white-sand beaches, towering palm trees, and spectacular views. Plan a trip to Myrtle Beach, the largest resort area along South Carolina’s 60-mile Grand Strand. Seniors love the amusement and water parks, live entertainment, and stretches of pristine sand.

For a slower pace and some of the most beautiful water in the U.S., Tybee Island is a great choice for a graduation trip. Tybee boasts warm, gentle waves, spectacular sunrises and sunsets, and rich ecology and history.

If you want your senior class trip to really stand out, say Aloha to Hawaii. Pristine beaches, volcanoes, waterfalls, and tropical forests– what’s not to love?

Try A Service Trip

Generation Z is a new kind of young adult. Gen Zers are entrepreneurial, inclusive, and determined to be independent. That’s why service-oriented graduation trips are a perfect option for this motivated group!

Students can construct housing in Costa Roca or earn service hours in storm-damaged areas in the U.S. They can volunteer to teach English in a non-English speaking country. Service trips are a great way to give back while building a resume for the future.
