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.

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.

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!
