Cruising can provide an excellent travel perspective to incentive winners. An incentive cruise offers a variety of ships from which to choose, and luxury amenities such as spas, gourmet dining and sports facilities, in addition to meeting rooms.
Planners will appreciate the pricing structure, as well. Cruise meetings typically offer a savings of as much as 40 percent over land based hotel venues, since everything is included in one price.
Incentive travel buyers may choose one of three cruising options:
- Full-ship charter – customization options are virtually unlimited with a full-ship charter. Incentive buyers may charter a ship for groups of 50 to 1,000 or more people. They can have the ship fly the company flag, select the itinerary (within certain limits), create their own shipboard agenda, and much more.
- Half-ship charter – usually incentive planners will charter by deck or by cabin category. They may also reserve a dining room or one seating exclusively for their group.
- Groups – no customization options, a group cruise experience is similar to that of a hotel or resort incentive experience, but at as much as 40 percent less.
All inclusive pricing allows incentive buyers to get more for their budget on sea than on land, thanks to the all inclusive aspect of cruising.
