Whether you're looking for a themed music cruise, a group adventure, or a customized corporate retreat, we're here to bring your travel dreams to life.
In 2010, we took our passion for travel to the next level by booking our first music charter with Royal Caribbean Cruise Line (RCL). This move revolutionized the music charter space, and in just ten years, FDT became RCL's top charter client. Our charters have brought fans closer to their favorite artists, with performances by music legends like Blake Shelton, Melissa Etheridge, Kenny Loggins, and Dave Koz..
Before entering the music charter space, FDT was already recognized for excellence. We've earned numerous awards from top cruise lines like RCL, Oceania, Crystal, Uniworld, and Princess, including several regional Agency of the Year accolades.
