Play the Game. See the World.
Sail to remarkable destinations, step ashore for unforgettable golf experiences, then return to your ship and continue toward the next destination.
Golfers and non-golfing travel companions welcome.
This Isn't Just a Cruise With Golf Nearby.
A golf cruise brings two vacations together. Sail between destinations, head ashore for the golf experience, then return to the comfort of your ship instead of packing up and changing hotels every few days.
Then come back to the ship and let the journey continue.
The Course Is Only Part of the Destination.
Instead of building an entire vacation around one resort or one golf destination, a cruise can take you from port to port while your ship remains your home base.
Experience golf in destinations you may have always wanted to visit.
Return to your ship after the day ashore and continue toward the next destination.
Golf can be part of the trip without being the only reason to enjoy the destination.
Unpack Once. Keep Going.
A traditional multi-destination golf trip can mean moving between hotels, arranging transportation and keeping up with a lot of moving pieces. On a golf cruise, the ship travels with you.
Your room stays yours while the scenery outside keeps changing.
They Don't Have to Golf to Love the Trip.
That's part of what can make a cruise such a strong fit for couples and friends. While one traveler heads out for golf, the other can enjoy the ship, explore the destination, book an excursion or simply relax.
At the end of the day, you meet back onboard and continue the vacation together.
Nobody has to spend the entire vacation doing the same thing.
You Already Know Golf. Now Take It Somewhere New.
Based in Ocala, Poet's Year-Round Travel helps golfers, couples and groups throughout Central Florida turn their love of the game into a vacation that can go far beyond the courses they play at home.
If You Could Play One Course Anywhere in the World, Where Would You Play?
It's a question I've asked golfers before — and the answers tell you something important: golfers don't just dream about playing another round. They dream about where the game can take them.
These are places golfers named when asked where they would love to play. They are not presented as PYT-bookable courses or as courses included on a specific golf cruise. Course access, cruise inclusions, airfare, accommodations, green fees and other travel components vary by trip.
Ocala. The Villages. Central Florida.
We already live in a part of Florida where golf is everywhere. Great courses, golf communities and plenty of opportunities to get another round in.
Your Golf Bag Has a Passport Too.
If golf is already part of your life at home, your next vacation can be an opportunity to experience the game somewhere completely different.
Where Do You Want the Game to Take You?
Golf cruises and international golf vacations can turn the game into a reason to explore destinations far beyond the courses you play at home.
Scotland & Ireland
Historic links, dramatic coastlines and destinations where golf is woven into the culture.
Spain & the Mediterranean
Pair days on the course with European ports, food, history and time exploring ashore.
Caribbean Golf Escapes
Island scenery, warm weather and golf can make a very different kind of Caribbean vacation.
Japan & Asia
A chance to combine the game with culture, cuisine and destinations that feel completely different from home.
Australia & New Zealand
Long-haul travel can turn golf into part of a once-in-a-lifetime journey.
Somewhere Else?
Have a course, country or golf destination already on your mind? Start there.
TELL ME WHERE YOU WANT TO PLAY →Golf Can Be the Reason You See the World.
Maybe the dream round in your head is Augusta National, St Andrews, Pebble Beach, Cape Kidnappers or somewhere completely different.
Not every bucket-list course is publicly accessible or part of a golf cruise itinerary. The bigger idea is that your love of golf can be the starting point for an extraordinary vacation.
More Than a Tee Time.
A golf cruise isn't just about finding a course near a port. The right trip brings the golf, the ship, the destinations and the rest of your vacation together.
Step Off the Ship. Step Onto the Course.
Depending on the sailing and golf program, your golf experience may include arrangements such as course access, transportation, equipment handling and other golf-day details.
Then when the round is over, you return to the ship — your room, dining, entertainment and the next destination are already waiting.
Another Port Tomorrow.
Golf Is One Piece. Your Vacation Is the Whole Picture.
Your trip may have several moving pieces. That's where planning the entire experience — instead of looking at only the golf — starts to matter.
Golf Arrangements
Depending on the itinerary and golf program, arrangements may include selected courses, golf-day transportation, equipment logistics and other program-specific inclusions.
Your Cruise
The ship matters too. We'll look at the cruise line, itinerary, cabin or suite options and the onboard experience that fits the way you want to travel.
The Rest of the Journey
Depending on your trip, we can also look at airfare, hotels, transfers, pre- or post-cruise stays and other travel pieces that may be needed.
Golfers & Non-Golfers
Your spouse, friends or travel companions don't have to play every round — or play at all — to enjoy the cruise and the destinations with you.
You Should Be Thinking About Your Next Round — Not Every Travel Detail.
You may know where you want to play. You may have seen a golf cruise that caught your attention. Or you may simply know that you're ready to take your golf somewhere new.
Bring me the idea. I'll help you look at the cruise and travel pieces around it so you can make a more informed decision about the overall vacation.
“Taking the pressure off your shoulders and putting it onto mine.”
Every Golf Cruise Isn't the Same.
Courses, golf programs, cruise lines, transportation, equipment handling, meals, beverages, green fees and other inclusions can vary from one itinerary or program to another.
That's why we'll look at the actual trip you're considering rather than assuming every golf cruise includes the same things.
Find Your Golf Cruise.
Scotland. Ireland. The Mediterranean. The Caribbean. Japan. Australia. New Zealand. Golf cruises can take the game far beyond the courses you already know — while the ship becomes your home between destinations.
Start With What You Know.
Maybe you already found a golf cruise. Maybe there's a country you've always wanted to play. Or maybe you just know you're ready for something bigger than another golf weekend.
“I Want to Play Scotland.”
Great. We can start with the destination and look at travel experiences that may fit what you have in mind.
“I Saw a Golf Cruise I Like.”
Send me what caught your attention. We'll look at the sailing, cruise experience and the travel pieces surrounding it.
“I Just Want Something Amazing.”
That's enough to start. Tell me how you like to travel, where you've played and what kind of golf experience would excite you.
