Group Cruise Planning: Make Your Sailing Day a Celebration

If you are planning an incentive cruise, a corporate cruise event or meetings at sea, you can begin to set the mood for your all inclusive group cruise before the ship even sets sail. Prior to the day of embarkation, you can get your participants excited with branded cruise-related gifts, distributing schedules for what will take place each day of the cruise and providing information on available shore excursions. This will have your participants anticipating the trip and will build excitement for whichever type of cruise event you are planning.

On the day of sailing, you do not need to wait for everyone to board the ship before the festivities begin. You can begin to show them the royal treatment, or simply add a bit of customization to make your group cruise stand out, with a few simple things that will take very little time or effort on your part.

Here are five easy things you can do to add a little extra panache to your cruise event before boarding the ship:

1. Order custom signage for use at the airport and on transfer vehicles.
2. Make arrangements with the cruise line for a private check-in area for participants of your group cruise.
3. Organize a private bon voyage brunch or mixer prior to boarding.
4. Work with the cruise line to arrange for customized decorations for the pier.
5. Schedule an airplane flyover with a custom message that will be seen as you embark or during sailaway.

You might also consider hosting a private party with streamers and champagne to welcome your participants on board.
