Corporate Gatherings
Onboard Ship
When it comes to corporate gatherings, meetings or
retreats, cruises offer the best overall value for businesses. Whether simply organizing an annual meeting, offsite
retreat, building an incentive for the sales team or designing a special event
for the staff, partners or clients you simply cannot overlook the nearly
all-inclusive nature of cruises.
Modern megaships provide so much! They offer the perfect social environment for
professional groups to mix and mingle; opportunities for your group to dine
together in a gourmet restaurant; gather by the pool for sun and fun or other
recreational activities; enjoy a Broadway-style show; comedy clubs and so much
more. Additionally, cruise ships provide
those participants looking to break away from the official company action for a
while can find solace on a secluded balcony, retreat to the spa, or enjoy a
book in a well-appointed alcove. And it
doesn’t have to just be the employee either – many companies encourage their
employees' families to come along too, especially since there are plenty of
activities to entertain the spouse and kids onboard, including extensive youth
programs run by trained counselors.
When it comes to booking, groups often get the best
overall value, when planned well enough in advance, particularly when you
factor in special group amenities like complimentary wine or champagne, shipboard
credits, cocktail parties, chocolates, casino credits, spa services, and
private gatherings. Cruise lines will
also work to brand your company's event at every opportunity with items such as
ice sculptures of your corporate logo. For full charters, cruise lines will
even let you set your own itinerary!
So what’s included on a group booking? Typically, your group will receive:
- Stateroom accommodations
- Gourmet dining
- Fitness center, exercise classes, spa
- Pool, water sports
- Transportation to interesting ports
- Access to business facilities and meeting rooms including small and large conference rooms with variable lighting and food & beverage services
- High-speed internet access
- Digital projectors
- Audio systems
- Showrooms for group presentations
- Informal gathering venues
- The planning process for all details
- Vegas- or Broadway-style shows
- Discos, clubs, bars
- Youth programs (as needed)
- Movies (theater and in-room)
Every corporate and incentive group must sign a contract
with the cruise line that covers the prices, amenities, terms, and conditions
for their group booking. Cruise Planners’ industry standing provides you with strong
buying power and access to competitive rates on every ship which enables us to
negotiate the best contract on your behalf.
We succeed when you succeed, and are here to make sure that your
corporate group function comes together as easily as possible. But know that all successful corporate and incentive
groups require the involvement of a dedicated travel manager within the company
working together with your Cruise Planners travel consultant. This professional is responsible for designing
the meetings and events the company desires onboard and communicating booking
details like the payment process, documentation requirements, and dining
requests to all participants. Together
we’ll make your event a knockout success!
