Top Secrets to Successful Association and Group Meetings at Sea

Many cruise ships now offer world class meeting facilities designed to ensure your association or corporate meeting success.

Exceptional savings are possible since all shipboard meals, entertainment, meeting facilities, and a host of business services are all inclusive.

Get Started Early

In order to accommodate your preference for scheduling, we recommend that you plan your event at least nine to twelve months in advance. By scheduling well in advance, you can announce the cruise to the group and we can secure the cabin space to ensure your meeting at sea is a tremendous success.

Develop Your Plan

Generally speaking, Spring and Fall are the off-peak seasons as compared with peak Summer and holiday times which are more highly priced.

What area of the World: Alaska, Asia, Caribbean, Europe, and Mexico offer exciting itineraries to entice your affiliates to explore and share the cruise experience.

How long? A three night weekend, four day midweek, or seven plus night choices are available dependent on what you want your cruise to accomplish and how much time is required to accomplish it.

Decide on the Specifics

How many will be going? How will payment be handled for extras? What is necessary to qualify? How much time will be required for promotion? What are the meeting requirements in terms of size and time? Private cocktail parties? Shores excursions? Golf? Tennis?
