Meeting industry welcomes cruising options

Add a Comment
 

Say goodbye to stagnant meetings! Today, planners are discovering that cruise ships are great venues for memorable and cost-effective meetings, incentives or group events. Here’s why:

  • Modern cruise ships are built with cutting-edge audio visual equipment. You’ll find multi-media production technology, from the lounges to the theaters!
  • Cell phone coverage and wireless accessibility on ships allow corporate groups to stay connected during their meeting on the water.
  • Entertainment is complimentary! No need to budget for transfer costs, pricey entertainers, costly décor and outrageous ticket prices just to get a splashy show!
  • Numerous dining options give attendees the freedom to dine on their own, or you can buy-out specialty restaurants for a group dining event. Planners love the time and cost savings!Seabourn
  • Cruise lines have expanded their itineraries to include more 3-, 4-, and 5-night sailings. And the ability to charter small ships provides a unique private venue at your command - for the same cost as a flashy resort!
  • Ships are listening to the needs of corporate groups and incentive programs, including dedicated conference facilities as well as flexible lounge and dining venues which can be used for private groups.

While hotels and resorts continue to pile on the fees and extra charges, planners are finding that the cruise industry is welcoming corporate groups. And the attendees are ecstatic about the change. Who wouldn’t want to attend a meeting with changing scenery, a variety of fun activities, outstanding culinary experiences, and top-notch entertainment?
