Incentive travel has long been a popular and proven strategy for driving employee performance and engagement, outperforming other compensation methods in motivating top achievers. Cruises, in particular, have always been an attractive option for incentive programs and are now in exceptionally high demand as travel demand grows. Offering a unique combination of luxury, diverse activities, and stunning destinations, cruises provide an ideal setting to reward and inspire. Let’s explore how one of our long-standing clients recently celebrated 80 years in the family business by rewarding their top performers with a remarkable cruise experience.
Most simply put, booking a corporate cruise is reserving a floating resort. Nearly everything a planning team needs and that attendees might desire can be found on board or in a port-of-call along the way -- from luxurious accommodations to diverse dining options and exciting activities. The unique setting of a cruise ship also fosters camaraderie and connection with shared experiences of group dinners, onboard activities, and shore excursions, building lasting memories and strengthening professional relationships. The relaxed atmosphere allows colleagues to connect personally, enhancing collaboration and morale when everyone’s back at work.
One long-time client recently celebrated a monumental milestone — 80 years in the family business. To honor their top performers, they chose a five-day cruise aboard the magnificent Allure of the Seas, part of Royal Caribbean International’s Oasis class. This wasn’t just a trip; it was a celebration of hard work, dedication, and achievement.
The itinerary included onboard dining and activities, a day in port in Nassau, and a day in Royal Caribbean’s private island Coco Cay. Days at sea created the indelible and motivating memories our work strives to achieve, knowing how much the experience matters.
Such a seamless experience wouldn’t be possible without a dedicated team of partners across Royal Caribbean Meetings, Incentives, and Events and Access DMC, ensuring smooth operations that supported the goals of this milestone celebration.
