Your Fort Lauderdale, Florida package includes: Beachfront accommodations at B Ocean Resort, All US Government taxes and fees, 5 night stay, Up to 4 people per room, On-site Go Blue staff and group events. A $99 deposit holds your spot, with the balance payable in interest-free monthly installments.

Because it is a major U.S. beach city, not a resort market that discounts for students. Beachfront rooms on A1A compete with year-round leisure and business demand in March, so rates hold at $1,399 where an all-inclusive resort abroad will sell a room for $699 to keep occupancy up. The package is also room-only — taxes, five nights and group events, but no food, drink or airport transfers. Being straight about it: if price is your deciding factor, Cancún at $699 all-inclusive or Panama City Beach at $549 will both beat this comfortably.

Groups who want this specific city and can get here easily. It is a short, cheap flight from most of the East Coast and a drive from anywhere in Florida, it needs no passport, and the scene is genuinely unlike the resort destinations — A1A and the beach by day, then Himmarshee Street and the rooftops downtown at night, all walkable rather than shuttle-dependent. If your group is 21+, East Coast based, and wants a city rather than a resort, it earns the price. If not, it probably does not.

No. The $1,399 covers beachfront accommodations at B Ocean Resort, all U.S. taxes and fees, five nights, up to four people per room, and on-site Go Blue staff with group events. Food, drinks and airport transfers are separate. Tru by Hilton is the other option at the same price, set in the middle of the downtown entertainment area rather than on the sand.

Twenty-one, and it is enforced. Florida also restricts alcohol and glass containers on the public beach, so the daytime beach scene is not a drinking scene the way it is at an international resort — you drink at the A1A bars and venues instead. If your group is mostly under 21, the international destinations have an 18 drinking age and will be a completely different week.

It is the oldest spring break scene in the country and it is spread across three areas. On the beach, Elbo Room has been on the corner of A1A since 1938 and is the original spring break bar; Beach Place is the three-storey complex next to it with Lulu’s Bait Shack and McFadden’s. Downtown, Himmarshee Street is the block-party district — America’s Backyard is the flagship outdoor club with multiple stages. On the water, The Wharf runs an open-air party on the New River with food trucks and DJs, and Rooftop @ 1WLO is the tallest rooftop lounge in the city. Las Olas Oceanside Park fills in the gaps with live music and food trucks at sunset.

No. Fort Lauderdale is in Florida, so a valid U.S. photo ID is all you need — no passport application and no six-month validity rule to plan around. Panama City Beach and South Padre Island are the other two no-passport options, and both are considerably cheaper.

For most students, yes, with standard precautions. Go Blue groups stay on the patrolled beachfront and A1A corridor, which is where students spend their time, and a Go Blue host is on-site all week. Use rideshare at night rather than walking unfamiliar areas. Our Fort Lauderdale safety guide covers the current local rules — including the beach alcohol and glass restrictions — and links to the City of Fort Lauderdale visitor guidance.

Yes. Group rates start at 8 travelers and get better at 16, 32, and 50+. The person organizing the group can also earn free or discounted spots through our Campus Manager program.
