KEY FEATURES The Vibe Check Before the heavy planning even begins, send your group a quick Vibe Check. Crewcation aligns everyone's preferences, budget expectations, and travel styles so your crew is on the same page. Collaborative Map & Discovery Explore destinations together using our smart interactive map. Easily search for Stays, Eats, and Dos and pin your favorite spots to the group board. Rich location cards automatically pull in high-quality photos, ratings, and details so nobody has to jump between browser tabs to see what you are pitching. Realtime Voting No more guessing what people actually want to do. Crewcation's intuitive voting system lets everyone weigh in on travel dates, accommodations, and activities using a simple sentiment slider (from Might Skip to Must-Do). The app does the math and instantly highlights the group's top choices. Itineraries Once the crew has voted on their favorite spots, they can organize their choices of where to have dinners, activities, places to stay on an itinerary timeline -- turning a messy list of ideas into a cohesive, interactive timeline.

With built-in group chat and live syncing, and crew notes, your itinerary updates instantly whenever a crew member adds a suggestion, shifts a date, or casts a vote.
