Corporate Cruises

Mixing business with pleasure is a common practice in today's corporations, and a corporate cruise is the ideal venue for a "work and play" event. A cruise can be used to reward a top producing team, entertain VIPs or board members, reward top sales personnel, or hold a training event. Three or four hours daily while onboard the ship can be spent in meetings, leaving ample time for entertaining shipboard activities and visits onshore at ports of call.

Up and At It: An early morning breakfast meeting each day of the cruise will give guests an opportunity to get the business of the day out of the way early. A guest speaker or planning facilitator can provide training or make progress with crafting a strategic plan as the sun comes up. Most cruise ships provide state-of-the-art meeting rooms that will accommodate a meal meeting with minimal intrusion into the team's work. A three-hour meeting beginning at 6:00 AM will satisfy the work goals of the day before reaching the first port of call.
Team building events: Cruise ships are brimming with activities that can be used as team building competitions. A game of water volleyball in the ship's pool, a climbing competition on the ship's rock wall, a skeet shooting contest, a shuffleboard or ping-pong challenge, or an ice carving competition will encourage team bonding and allow team members to know each other in new ways.
Spouse events: If spouses or families are invited along on the trip, a program should be provided for them so they are entertained while their spouse is in meetings. Workout sessions will a personal trainer, a makeover in the ship's salon, a wine tasting class with a wine expert, dance classes, or a massage class will keep the cruise interesting for husbands and wives alike. A nanny service can be provided to care for the children for designated periods throughout the days and evenings to give Mom and Dad a little time off to enjoy one another.
