Cruising remains one of the fastest growing sectors of the Conference & Incentive market and is seen as the ultimate incentive as a reward or invitation to clients.
It is an ideal venue with so much value, flexibility and choice.
A cruise is a great way to bring colleagues closer together, while everyone can still have time to themselves.
Wake up each morning in a new destination – without the hassle!

Here are the reasons we think you should consider a cruise for your next meeting and incentive event.

Many ships can take as few as 16 guests right up to a full-ship charter. In general a full ship charter may be a more economical choice for groups between 400 – 2500.

Choose from a cruise only package or take advantage of an all inclusive deal.

Cruise only includes
Accommodation
All meals and entertainment on board
Use of public rooms and on board AV equipment for private meetings and functions
Government fees, taxes and current fuel supplements

A full package also includes
Scheduled return flights
Hotel accommodation pre- or post-cruise
All overseas transfers between airport, hotel, pier and ship

The economies are evident as many of the services that land venues charge extra for are complimentary aboard ships: meeting rooms, coffee breaks, meals, afternoon snacks, AV equipment, entertainment, theme parties, sporting events and many daytime activities, to name just a few.

There are numerous ways of personalising your event onboard a ship, here are a few ideas.

Private branded check-in and registration
Welcome message placed in each cabin from the Captain for embarkation
Personalised Daily Programme
Sailaway or Welcome Party – themed cocktail parties
Private meeting and cocktail party locations
Branded dinner menus and cocktail napkins
Ice carving of the company logo
Private shore excursions with branded coach signage
Group disembarkation
Corporate videos played over closed-circuit TV

One company that we have recently been lucky enough to work with was Norwegian Cruise Line and we had great fun trying out all the amenities onboard the beautiful Norwegian Gem, NCL’s newest cruise liner.
