Ship Types and Capacities
|
|
Mega-Liners |
800 to 1500 sleeping rooms
Glamorous new, state-of-the-art vessels with multi-story atriums, a
variety of restaurants and entertainment venues, large & lavish
production shows, the latest in a/v equipment -- many ships have
multi-screen video walls, computer generated sound & light, dedicated
conference space and well-equipped health clubs and spas. Lots of
staterooms have private balconies. These seagoing resorts offer 3, 4,
and 7-night cruises, mostly in the Bahamas, Caribbean and Alaska. |

Mid-Size Ships |
|
500 to 800 sleeping rooms
Traditional
style ships, some brand new and some older but well maintained and with
character. Depending on group size, these ships can offer a higher
degree of customization and group exclusivity than the mega-liners. Most
have abundant activities, entertainment, and traditional shipboard
dining -- one or two restaurants with two seatings for breakfast and
dinner. These ships offer a greater variety of destinations than the
mega-liners, which are restricted by their size. With fewer passengers,
service can be higher on these vessels. |

Smaller, More Intimate Vessels |
|
200 to 500 sleeping rooms
Most
of these vessels cater to the well-traveled passenger and provide a very
high level of service. Usually located in more exotic destinations. Many
vessels in this category offer one-seating in the dining room, the most
leisurely way to dine. Can be perfect for half-ship charters and full
charters, depending on group size. |

Yacht-Like Luxury |
|
50 to 200 sleeping rooms
All-suite vessels, offering the ultimate in luxury accommodations,
service and amenities. Most ships offer butler service and a very fine
dining experience with food prepared "a la minute". Worldwide
itineraries include Europe, South America, The Indian Ocean, Asia,
occasionally even Mexico or the Caribbean, calling at the jet-set ports
that attract yachts. Short 4, 5, and 7-day cruises sometimes available,
but longer voyages are the norm. Plan two years ahead for a charter to
get a shorter length. This grouping includes motor vessels as well as
beautiful sailing ships. |

River Boats |
|
30 to 200
sleeping rooms
A river cruise can take you on the Danube in Bavaria/Austria, the Rhone
in France, the Nile, China’s Yangtzee, and even the mighty Mississippi.
Many of these vessels are new and offer a very high quality travel
experience. They’re perfect for in-depth sightseeing and a relaxed
cruising pace, with minimal entertainment onboard. Ideal for charter --
you set the itinerary to suit your needs. If your people have been
everywhere, this might be for them. |

Why Cruise? |
|
For
the incentive planner, organizing a cruise has a high perceived value.
When researches ask people what sort of holiday they would most like
to take if they had unlimited budgets, cruises always rank as a top
choice. |

The benefits of using a cruise program
Cruising has evolved from the days of shuffleboard and midnight
buffets. Today's vessels are built business friendly. Cruises are used
for meetings, incentive or recognition programs--even docked to serve
as "floating hotels" when cities require more room space!
