Do these lyrics ring a bell?
“A gathering of angels appeared above my head
They sang to me this song of hope, and this is what they said
They said come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me now
Come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me”

I might be dating myself sharing these lyrics to the Styx classic, “Come Sail Away,” but it’s the song that runs through my head every time I think about the 3 upcoming notary cruises. A few years ago, no one was talking about gathering the notary community for workshops and networking on a cruise, but 2024 has ushered in this new era of notary events, and I am here for it!
In case you’re not aware, cruising is the newest way for notaries to network and get in a bit of fun and relaxation! Here I highlight the 3 different upcoming cruises and provide you with the information you need to be a part of these incredible opportunities.
Embark on a Notary Adventure with 2024 Level Up Notary Cruise! Brought to you by Lori Morgan with Sign Here and There Notary in Indiana.

It's a popular time and a popular destination, so this cruise is selling out fast (and the ship will completely sell out well before the departure date)! If you want to join Bill, Laura, myself and the rest of the faculty of Notary Business Builder, I encourage you to book it now (and set up a payment plan like I did)! There are currently 45 people already booked!
We've put together a great group of notaries, trainers, and influencers that will join us for a shared experience that you'll remember for the rest of your life. So if Alaska is on your bucket list, click here to Join us! And yes, friends and family are welcome to join us too! My husband is coming with me.
This is not necessarily a "seminar at sea." Sure, we'll have some programming, but most of this cruise is networking and connection-based.
If you want to join us on this adventure, you need to make a deposit on your cabin now. In most cases, there is a $500 deposit per cabin. And here’s the amazing news: You can make ANY payment plan you want, as long as your final payment is received by June 1, 2025 (a year from now).
Our amazing travel agent, Jennifer Myers, of Expedia CruiseShipCenters Scottsdale, will handle all your reservations and payments, assuring you get the best price available. Connect with her here.

Wow! That is a lot to look forward to for notaries! And you know what? After the last two years of struggling to pivot and learn new skills to bolster our businesses beyond loan signings, we deserve to treat ourselves to a tax-deductible cruise while learning new things and meeting new people. Remember, I recommend attending at least 3 notary-centered events a year!
I’m curious…which cruise interests you the most? Are you attending any of them? Comment below so I know to look for you on the Mexico and Alaska cruises!
