The challenge

• Large group travel: Each event often requires transportation for a large number of personnel.

• Specialised equipment: The band's valuable musical instruments and accompanying kit necessitate ample and secure luggage space.

• Executive Coach Provision: We primarily utilise our fleet of larger 49-53 seater executive coaches. These vehicles offer comfortable seating and, crucially, significant luggage capacity to accommodate the band's instruments and equipment.

• Scalable Capacity: For larger events, we regularly deploy up to eight coaches per day, ensuring that all personnel and equipment are transported efficiently.

• Partner Network Collaboration: Recognising that some trips require even greater payload capacity, Lucketts Travel leverages its extensive partner operator network to procure luggage vans when necessary. This ensures that even the most demanding logistical needs are met seamlessly.

• Accommodation Support: Beyond transportation, Lucketts Travel also assists the Band of HM Royal Marines Portsmouth with arranging hotel accommodation as and when instructed, providing a complete travel management solution.
