MEETINGS AT SEA
To Mix Business With Pleasure...Just Add Water!
Another company meeting, another boring hotel? Is it the same old thing year after year? Next time, try something different...have your meeting on a floating resort! Pamper and entertain your guests on a cruise ship that provides a unique and entertaining environment nobody will forget.
Cruise Planners is your professional partner for planning, designing, and conducting your company sales meetings, corporate retreats, dealer convention, trade organization seminars, strategic planning meetings or sales incentive programs. Conducting these critical meetings on board the right ship will allow your top Executives to hold their meetings in a comfortable and private venue conducive to achieving the desired results. After hours they will be treated to fine dining, first class entertainment, or show lounges to relax and ponder the day's progress and prepare for the next day's agenda. We can handle a meeting for 15 or a convention for over 2000.
Sales Meetings, Training Sessions & Conventions can be costly, boring, and difficult to attract participants, but not when the venue is aboard a luxurious cruise ship, sailing to fun-filled destinations! Unlike a land based resort or hotel, your meals, meeting rooms, audio-visual equipment, break out sessions, activities, entertainment and business services are included for basically the cost of the accommodations.
Group or Individual Incentive Programs will be most attractive when the reward is aboard a fun-filled ship to exciting destinations. Your winners will be treated to an all-inclusive luxury vacation that appeals to every taste and has activities and entertainment for every lifestyle. Whether it's a group program or individual awards, your winners will relish their incentive reward, which was truly worth the effort!

WHY SHOULD A HOTEL BE YOUR LAST RESORT?
Cruising offers a world of advantages both for the planner and the participant!
Many meeting planners automatically think about a land-based resort or hotel when they begin putting together an incentive program, meeting, or convention. They should be thinking about putting their people on board a luxury cruise ship, not in a hotel. Cruising offers a world of advantages for both the planner and also the participant.
~ Rather than staying in just one place, a cruise ship visits many different ports, making each day a different adventure. New sights, sounds, and experiences make this a meeting or convention to remember!
~ Unlike a hotel, where visitors are often little more than a room number, cruise lines cater to their passengers with personalized, pampering service. Waiters go out of their way to address passengers by name. Room stewards keep staterooms so neat, it's like having a personal butler. Bartenders even remember favorite drinks. What better way to make your participants feel truly special!
~ Cruise ships provide all the amenities you expect of a fine land-based resort. The difference is that this self-contained world travels to the rest of the world, providing two vacations in one.
~ If you think this incentive sounds good, you're right. it's not only a great way to motivate top achievers, it's an excellent way to improve your bottom line. In an economy where cutting costs has become a way of corporate life, this investment gives you the best possible value for your incentive or meeting dollar. Look at all that's included on a cruise:
-Accommodations
-Meals, snacks, plus 24-hour stateroom service
-First-class entertainment
-Unlimited activities for every lifestyle
-On board Casino
-State-Of-The-Art Fitness Center with fitness programs and Spa
-On-board group coordinator
-Internet Access
-Exciting Itineraries and Ports-Of-Call
