DO NOT BOOK online. You must book through our vacation planner, Jose. 

Contact Jose here:  Carnival Cruise Line, 1 (800) 819-3902 ext. 82638. Give Jose the group's name, the Horse Lovers Summit 2024, and our group booking number X5VQ54.

IMPORTANT ACTIVITY FEE NOTICE FOR THOSE NOT BOOKED UNDER X5VQ54: We wanted to give you a heads-up that if you haven't booked under the group booking number X5VQ54, there's an additional NONREFUNDABLE Horse Lovers Summit conference/activity fee of $250 per person to attend our seminars and activities. 

But don't worry—we've got your back! Contact our Carnival vacation planner, Jose, and secure your cabin with him (before you book a cabin) to join our group. This way, you'll avoid the fee and enjoy all the perks of being part of our fantastic group. 

When you booked with our group booking number X5VQ54, you're in luck! You automatically received Carnival Corporation group perks.  

We don't want you to miss out on any of the fun with our group, so make sure Jose adds you to the 6 PM main dining room. This is where we'll hang out, chat, and enjoy each other's company. 

Got any questions or concerns? No worries! Email us at debi@netposse.com with the subject line "Horse Lovers Summit 2026," we'll get back to you faster than a thoroughbred on race day. 

----------
Group Perks

As part of our group, you will get a $50 per cabin onboard credit, a shared cocktail party, private entertainment, and educational seminars on sea days. 

A nongroup member who books outside of our group booking number with Jose is not considered part of our group with the cruise line. If you didn't book inside the group with our group booking number, you must pay the nonrefundable conference/activity fee to attend group-sponsored activities and dinner. The payment is made directly to Stolen Horse International. 

Horse Lovers Summit History:

In 2020, we had an extraordinary summit and had to keep the tradition going. So, in 2021, we planned a super fun cruise, but then the pandemic hit, and we had to postpone it until January 2022. 

Our 2023 cruise, with 90 passionate horse lovers on board, was a blast! However, we realized that not everyone had the chance to form personal connections, which is one of our key goals. You may join us as a stranger, but we hope you leave feeling like part of our close-knit family. 

So, in 2024, we scaled things down to 41 horse lovers, and it was perfect! We all got to know each other and had an amazing time. 

Our most successful summit was in 2025. With 49 guests and six outstanding speakers, it was a blast! The seminars were both informative and fun, and we even added the Horse Olympic Games to the mix.

We keep things exciting with seminars on two sea days and many fun activities.  

And the best part? This event is a Stolen Horse International-sponsored fundraising event co-hosted with Greystone Dressage. So not only do you get to have a blast, but you're also supporting a great cause. 

So, what are you waiting for? Come aboard our next horse lover's cruise adventure!
