Business Cruising

Cruise ships are perfect locations for business meetings. They are already equipped for exciting Broadway- and Las Vegas-style shows which they perform frequently on every cruise. The latest technologies, for sure! And cruise ships are perfect locations for such things as conferences, committees, or clubs.

And, get this, it's all already included in your ticket price. Yes, that means it's FREE!

So, next time your company or organization is planning a large meeting, be sure to suggest a fun and exciting cruise ship!

If your group is large enough, cruise lines usually offer substantial discounts. Perhaps a free room for every 15 booked. Perhaps a reduced rate for everybody. Perhaps a special bonus of shipboard discounts or credits.

Cruises are also exciting enough to be valuable incentive prizes and rewards for top salespeople. Just trying to win it is a huge enthusiasm boost for all eligible people in the company.

Since the ship is so large, you will need a central location. Contact the cruise line directly, or through your travel agent, to have a table set up in the lobby or some other convenient central location. Your display will serve you as a focal point and meeting area for your group.

When booking, try to get your group in cabins in the same area of the ship. Just be sure to remember that there are others who are not part of your group, and don't disturb them.

Since it's a group, your travel agent and the cruise lines can get together with you to advise you on specific arrangements for your group's events, such as meetings, training sessions, dinners, seminars, and conferences. It may sound complicated, but really it's not much different from doing it online, and it's a whole lot more fun!

To help identify who is in your group, or to help the individual members find each other, consider using a special group tag, t-shirt, or other group memento. if you do not pass them out ahead of time, you can even make a big event out of it onboard. be at the gangplank with their goodie, or have each person come up on stage, or have it delivered to their room (or even deliver it personally), or you could even have a game or contest for even better goodies as prizes!

And, since it is a group, why not have one of the ship's talented photographers take a group photograph?

Business cruises are perfect for nearly everything from training, rewarding, and thanking, on to just plain having a whole lot of fun! Book your business group today at www.kingarthur.myttn.com !
