Overview
Today's cruise ships routinely host corporate groups and conferences. With 21st century frills from bow to stern, you'll find all of the first-class business amenities that you need to conduct stellar presentations at sea. And when it's time for fun, your group can enjoy a wide variety of premium dining and popular leisure activities for entertaining clients and employees alike.
   Business Facilities

From high-speed Internet to digital projectors, it's all onboard. Comfortable meeting room chairs, finely crafted conference tables, and state-of-the-art audio systems ensure that your presentations run smoothly. Many facilities feature ocean views and offer a spacious environment with adjustable lighting. You can even request an assortment of basic beverages — from coffee to spring water — and delicious appetizers to be made available in your assembly room. Of course, you may hold informal meetings virtually anywhere onboard. It may even be possible to reserve an upscale lounge, specialty restaurant, or the ship's theater!

   Leisure Amenities

From golf-simulators and putting greens to casino gaming to Broadway-style shows, the recreation options onboard are sure to help create an unforgettable experience with your most valuable clients, partners, and employees.

Aboard your floating resort, there are fun activities for every age, lifestyle, and interest. Active pursuits at sea may include scaling an outdoor rock-climbing wall, joining a theme party on the top deck, or dancing the night away in the disco. Enjoy world-class live entertainment in a piano bar, comedy club, or theater. Rejuvenating and relaxing features may include elegant pool solariums, oceanview fitness rooms, billiards, and starlit whirlpools. There's even a variety of enrichment programs, such as cooking classes and yoga lessons. From luxurious spa services and unique shore excursions to top-shelf cocktails, gourmet dining in specialty restaurants, and glamorous casino gaming, there are also plenty of ways to upgrade your cruise experience.

In port, infinite possibilities for adventure await. Ask your group cruise consultant about the full spectrum of exciting shore excursions we offer — you'll save time, money, and hassle by reserving your sightseeing activities in advance. From jungle safaris to scuba diving and city tours to sunset luau shows, the sampling of unique thrills available in each destination can create the ultimate cruise experience.

   Unbeatable Value

We use our company's strong cruise line relationships and tremendous purchasing power to negotiate the best prices for your group. You can relax with the knowledge that highly trained group cruise professionals are handling your corporate voyage.

Land vs. Sea
Think about it. Which offers more bang for your travel buck — a resort on land ... or a floating resort that visits multiple vacation destinations? A cruise is also more affordable than an all-inclusive resort, even just from a simple supply-and-demand perspective. While most resorts can offer about 500 rooms, most superliners can offer nearly 1,000 staterooms. In comparison, booking a cruise is like getting your travel reservation at a wholesale cost.

A Delicious Proposition
And a cruise includes all your premium meals, snacks, basic beverages, and plenty of fun activities and live entertainment in one low price. Most hotels and resorts only offer a couple restaurants and bars, but cruise ships usually feature a restaurant and a bar for every day of the week — sometimes more. You'll savor a bevy of flavors, including Italian, French, American, Japanese, Mexican, and seafood favorites like lobster and sushi. Plus, there's always room service! Because a cruise is designed for such extraordinary value, the seafaring vacation should be the most budget-friendly travel option for your company.

More Convenience At Sea
Cruising not only offers better value and variety, it's more convenient than traveling with multiple hotel reservations. One reservation guarantees all your accommodations — plus transportation — for your whole trip! One person, from one company, provides dedicated customer service on all the reservations for your entire group. With a cruise, you'll be spared from the hassle of coordinating train or bus schedules, renting and driving a car in an unfamiliar place, and the stress of flying between cities. Today, cruising is easier than ever because many voyages are just a short drive or flight away — you can set sail from 22 ports in the U.S. alone. And there's no need to hire a caterer or any special entertainment — it's all included.

Tax Savings
To be sure, you'll be able to write off your corporate cruise as a business expense. Coordinating all your reservations in one group booking will make it easy to file your claim with Uncle Sam. Any expenses from your group's onboard accounts can be consolidated, so there's no extra accounting necessary. It's guaranteed to be the most memorable tax break your company ever receives.

   Special Amenities

Cruising as a group often has valuable benefits. About 80% of groups at sea receive special amenity points, called "tour credits". These exclusive onboard extras vary by group size, fleet, and each particular sailing. Tour credits are normally shipboard credits — often valid toward the purchase of spa services, shore excursions, casino credits, and alcoholic beverages — or stateroom gifts like a bottle of wine, a box of chocolates, a basket of fresh flowers, or complimentary gratuities. Each group signs a booking contract that includes unique terms and conditions for any available bonus offers and tour credits. We use our superior cruise line relationships to negotiate the absolute best prices and special amenities available for each group. Usually, the bigger the group, the more tour credits you'll enjoy. Ask your group cruise consultant for details.
