Why choose a cruise over a land resort?

Cruising with Norwegian gives you tons of options for a successful event. Along with the first-class treatment, gorgeous views and a wide range of accommodations, you’ll get the facilities of a luxury resort combined with the excitement of travel to exotic destinations. All of the ships in our award-winning fleet offer multiple dining venues, flexible scheduling, a superior staff-to-guest ratio and adaptable meeting spaces complete with state-of-the-art audio/visual equipment and Wi-Fi capabilities. And, only Norwegian Cruise Line gives everyone in your group the freedom and flexibility of Freestyle Cruising®. Take advantage of it for your next corporate event.

Here are some great reasons to choose Freestyle Cruising® over an ordinary land-based resort for your next corporate event:

• Many amenities that have additional costs at land-based resorts are included in your cruise price.
• On a per-guest basis, ship-based events are less costly than land-based events.
• Planning is simple since all of your accommodations, food, entertainment and business needs are taken care of.
• A cruise is a unique and memorable experience that will motivate and inspire employees, clients and participants alike.
• An innovative venue such as a ship is the foundation for a successful event.

• A wide array of activities offers something for everyone, including spouses and kids.
• A cruise creates a sense of camaraderie and adventure not found on land.
• Guests will enjoy different ports of call, without the hassle of packing and unpacking.
