If you’re thinking about holding a meeting or incentive program at the same old landlocked hotel
overlooking the interstate, it’s time to think outside the box – about 500 nautical miles outside
the box. If you’re looking to increase sales, recognize performance and build morale, a Royal
Caribbean cruise has more of what you really want from a corporate event. Like what? Well,
how about these:
• 3- through 11-night cruises departing from ports all around the world
It’s a unique combination we call The Royal AdvantageSM – a combination that makes us the preferred
brand and ideal choice for your next corporate event. And apparently, other respected members
of the travel community agree:

WE’RE TAKING MEETINGS AND CONFERENCES
IN A WHOLE NEW DIRECTION –
OUT TO SEA.
Royal Caribbean realizes that all groups are not created equal. Depending on your group’s size, you’ll
have different demands and diverse needs. That’s why we provide you with flexible, unique meeting
spaces, state-of-the-art conference facilities and around-the-clock personal assistance throughout
the cruise. In fact, we are the only cruise line with dedicated conference space on all of our ships.
Whatever you need, we have it. But don’t take our word for it. Here’s what Bill Connors, COO of
the National Business Travel Association, had to say: “Royal Caribbean’s new ships are clearly
designed with group and conference business in mind. Freedom of the Seas® served as a terrific
venue for our meetings.” And with amenities like these, we’re not surprised:

WHY SO MANY MEETING SPACES?
BECAUSE ONE SIZE DOES NOT FIT ALL.
Just match the size of your party with the ships and rooms that can accommodate the number of people in your group.
Need more space? No problem. Most ships’ A/B- and C/D-level rooms are connected, which means they can be easily
combined to provide larger meeting space.
*This chart gives you an idea of the maximum capacity for conference rooms onboard each class of ship. Set-up styles in each room include
Theatre, Board Room, U-Shape and Classroom. Note: Features will vary from ship to ship. Please visit www.royalcaribbean.com/incentives

THEY’VE HELPED YOUR COMPANY
REACH NEW HEIGHTS ALL YEAR LONG.
TIME TO RETURN THE FAVOR.
Incentive programs are much more than simple reward systems. They’re intended to inspire and
motivate your team or clients to perform and deliver at the highest level. Truth is, incentive experts
know that travel is the most preferred rewards program for incentives. Add to that the fact that
cruising has the highest satisfaction rating among alternatives for incentive travel, and there’s simply
no better choice than a Royal Caribbean cruise.
Your top achievers will experience incredible destinations, impeccable service, once-in-a-lifetime
activities, and of course, some of the most amazing and innovative ships in the world. Simply put,
it’s way more than a cruise.
And as if all that isn’t enough, we can even customize your company’s individual incentive program.
Here are just a few examples of how we can enhance your onboard amenities and onshore activities:
