TOURS

As the exclusive travel provider for Fort Lauderdale United FC, Cruise Planners – Persad & Associates delivers fully comprehensive European & Caribbean soccer tours designed around complete end-to-end travel experiences—from the moment players leave home to their triumphant return. Every element of the journey is thoughtfully coordinated: international flights, tournament and ground transportation, quality accommodations, daily meal plans, optional excursions, team-building activities, and curated tours to iconic soccer stadiums, local attractions, and beaches. Whether families prefer tournament-only travel to return home for other commitments, or wish to extend their stay for personalized family adventures, each itinerary is tailored to individual desires. These immersive international experiences do more than create unforgettable memories—they accelerate holistic player development, enhance college recruitment visibility, and foster personal maturity and growth. This is where elite player development, life-long experiences, and pure joy intersect, creating a seamless, stress-free journey that transforms young athletes both on and off the field.

Fort Lauderdale United FC works in tandem with traveling teams to actively fundraise and help offset travel costs, creating pathways where financial barriers don’t have to stand in the way of transformative experiences. Through our official youth fundraising partners, we provide select fundraising opportunities tailored for teams to work together toward their tour goals. Additionally, our club-based jamboree tournaments direct a percentage of all registration fees to support individual player travel, with funds split equally among participating players. Combined with other creative initiative opportunities, teams have the potential to fundraise a significant portion—and in some cases, most or all—of each tour’s cost. This commitment reflects our core belief: every player should have access to world-class development and life-changing experiences, with financial support opportunities available to help make it possible.
