A Group Trip is one itinerary that several independent parties sign up for. Each party gets its own sub-trip, so everyone follows the same itinerary while payments, room choices, and personal requests stay separate.

Set Trip Type to Group when you create the trip. Beyond a regular trip, you get sub-trips, room and cabin inventory, optional add-ons, a public landing page, and self-service signup, which suits hosted departures, cruises, retreats, destination weddings, corporate groups, and special-interest programs.

Use a Group Trip when the same itinerary will be booked by several parties who each handle their own booking. A party might be a family of four, a couple, three friends sharing a cabin, or one person traveling alone. What matters is that each party books and pays independently.

The itinerary is shared. What varies per party is their payment schedule and authorizations, their room or cabin selection, which optional add-ons they take, and any preferences or requests they add along the way.

A regular trip is the better fit when one party is booking the whole thing, even if several people are traveling and the cost gets split across cards.

When you open a Group Trip, the layout matches a regular trip, with three main areas:

By default, the Overview tab is selected when a Group Trip is opened.

Most navigation works the same as a regular trip. Group Trips add Inventory, Travelers, and Landing Page, and the Overview tab carries the Sub-Trips table.

Overview is where a Group Trip opens. It holds the trip's tags and, more importantly, the Sub-Trips table: the live list of everyone who has booked into the trip so far.

Apply tags to organize, filter, and search trips more efficiently.

Sub-Trips are unique to Group Trips. Each one is a single booking party inside the group: one traveler, a couple, a family, or a few friends sharing a cabin.

A sub-trip inherits a copy of the group itinerary as it stands when the sub-trip is created. From that point it's independent, with its own travelers, selections, payments, and authorizations. Changes you make inside a sub-trip don't flow back to the Group Trip, and later edits to the group itinerary don't reach sub-trips already created.

The Sub-Trips table lists every sub-trip created under the group, showing the primary traveler and how many travelers are on each. Click a row to open that sub-trip, or click New to create one manually. For the full walkthrough, see Manage Sub-Trips.

The Travelers tab lists everyone across the group, grouped by sub-trip, with each person's type, email, phone, and age. Filter to a single sub-trip with the All Sub-Trips dropdown, search by name, or Export the list for a supplier or rooming list.

Click Add Traveler to add someone. You pick the sub-trip they're joining, select an existing contact, and set their type:

Travelers must already exist in TripLoft Contacts before they can be added.

Every traveler belongs to a sub-trip. Payments, bookings, and authorizations are handled there, never at the group level.

A Group Trip has exactly one itinerary. Unlike a regular trip, there's no set of proposal options to build and let the client choose between, because every sub-trip starts from this single shared plan.

You build it like any other proposal, with the same component tools: room and cabin options, inline options, and optional add-ons. On a Group Trip these carry extra weight, since they're what each party selects for themselves at signup.

Group Trips include a dedicated public landing page for marketing and self-service signup. From the Landing Page section you can configure page content, calls-to-action, featured media, FAQs, and traveler signup settings. For the full walkthrough, see Create and Manage Landing Pages.

The Inventory tab tracks availability across the group: every room, cabin, and optional add-on you offered, with how many are booked and how many remain. It updates as sub-trips are created, so you can see what's selling before anything oversells. For the full walkthrough, see Manage Inventory.

Publish a Group Trip and share its landing page, and travelers can sign up themselves: choosing rooms or cabins, picking add-ons, and authorizing payment online. Each signup creates a sub-trip automatically. See Share a Group Trip: Trip Link vs Landing Page and What Travelers See During Group Trip Signup.
