Funding A Trip - Young People Aged 15-25
All our young voyagers are encouraged to fundraise to cover the cost of their adventure. This generates a feeling of personal ownership and a sense of achievement before your voyage even starts.
It may seem a daunting prospect at first but with a little dedication and enthusiasm, raising your voyage fee is very achievable.
The cost of a 10-day voyage for each young person is on average £1,200 but you will need to raise in the region of £1,500 to ensure you have enough for insurance, travel to and from the ship and spending money.
For a gap year adventure voyage you will need to raise between £5,000 - £6,000 to cover this.
The secret to fundraising for any of our voyages is to set targets, remain positive and never give up ! - our Fundraising Pack is full of ideas to help you.
