Meetings and\or Events at Sea
As the new year approaches, you will begin the task of finding a facility for your training/meeting space for your next corporate event. Cruise Planners is a full-service travel planning company specializing in groups and conventions.
With the economy in turmoil, your corporation is undoubtedly watching the budget for the coming year. This is the time to realize that cruise ships offer excellent alternatives with special deals not usually found at hotels and resorts. Corporations like yours, are discovering that cruise ships offer an ideal meeting environment, that include a variety of meeting rooms to include large theaters to smaller conference rooms. All venues equipped with state of the art audio and visual equipment.
Keeping with the traditional cruise experience, all meals, casual entertainment and youth programs are included in the cruise fare, which is a good reason to have families join in as well.
Cruises work especially well for companies offering accreditation courses that are a requirement in their industry, such as the medical and legal industries.
If your corporation has a foundation or charity they sponsor, the “Cruise for Charity” is a growing phenomenon. This is where a charity receives a benefit from each cabin booked by their patrons and supporters. It’s a win-win situation when a corporate seminar or meeting is coordinated in the name of the charity or foundation.
Cruise Planners welcomes the opportunity to work with meeting planners and corporate organizers providing the advantages of evaluating multiple cruise line itineraries, rates, departure dates and promotions to develop the best package available, without the bias of one cruise line over another. Savvy planners also know that cruise travel agents receive their compensation from the carrier, therefore, do not “mark up” the cost of the cruise. The corporation receives their benefit through the means of complimentary berths, upgrades and revenue.
Many businesses, corporations and charities understand that meetings and employee incentives are essential even in tough economic times and that cruises offer one of the best all-inclusive values around today.
