Meetings at Sea
Cruise lines are categorized as Luxury, Premium, Mainstream, River Cruise, Expedition and Specialty ship. Just like hotels, there is a ship for every size group…from ships holding 4,000 guests to intimate yachts and river ships providing guest rooms for 100. Here is a guide to each category including the number of guests the ship can accommodate by cruise line.
Meeting Rooms
Cruise lines have listened to meeting planners and now provide a wide range of public rooms that can accommodate meetings and functions. You will find small board meeting rooms, conference rooms and plush theaters - all furnished with the latest in audio-visual technology and professional stage lighting. Large ships offer space that accommodate different group sizes and formats including classroom and theatre-style. Multipurpose lounges are ideal for receptions, beautifully decorated with built-in sound and projection capabilities; and specialty restaurants provide great opportunities to host private company dinners.
Cruise Seasons
Some destinations are only accessible during specific months while others are popular cruise ports of call year round. This chart summarizes the cruise season for most destinations.
