Is this your venue for your corporate retreat?

Are you looking for a way to boost your employees' engagement, productivity and morale after a challenging year of remote work, covid restrictions and layoffs? Do you want to reward them for their hard work and loyalty with a memorable and fun experience? If so, you might want to consider corporate retreats and team building activities as a way to achieve these goals.

Corporate retreats and team building activities are proven to have positive effects on employee satisfaction, performance and retention. According to a study by the Harvard Business Review, retreats and team building can increase employee engagement by 12%, productivity by 20% and profitability by 21%. They can also reduce turnover by 59% and absenteeism by 41%.

But where should you host your corporate retreat or team building event? There are many options available, but we believe that the best venue for these occasions is a luxury cruise ship charter. In this blog post, we will explain why a cruise ship charter is the most economical and enjoyable choice for your company, based on two main factors: cost and culture.

First, let's talk about the cost. A luxury cruise ship charter can offer you more value for money than any land based venue. Here are some of the reasons why:

- Inclusive packages: A cruise ship charter includes everything you need for your retreat or team building event, such as accommodation, food, drinks, entertainment, meeting rooms, equipment and staff. You don't have to worry about booking multiple vendors or paying extra fees for services or amenities.

- Flexible itineraries: A cruise ship charter allows you to customize your itinerary according to your preferences and needs. You can choose the destinations, duration, activities and schedule of your trip. You can also change your plans on the fly if needed, without incurring penalties or charges.

- Reduced travel expenses: A cruise ship charter eliminates the need for airfare, ground transportation, hotel stays and other travel costs that can add up quickly. You only pay for one ticket per person and enjoy the convenience of traveling from one port to another without hassle.

Second, let's talk about the culture. A luxury cruise ship charter can enhance your company culture and foster stronger bonds among your employees. Here are some of the benefits:

- Shared experiences: A cruise ship charter provides a unique opportunity for your employees to share unforgettable experiences together, such as visiting exotic destinations, enjoying world-class entertainment, participating in fun activities and relaxing in luxurious surroundings. These shared experiences can create lasting memories and friendships that will enrich your company culture.

- Team building: A cruise ship charter offers a variety of team building options that can improve communication, collaboration and creativity among your employees. You can choose from onboard activities such as trivia games, scavenger hunts, cooking classes and wellness workshops, or offboard excursions such as snorkeling, hiking, kayaking and cultural tours. These team building options can challenge your employees to work together, learn new skills and have fun at the same time.

- Recognition: A cruise ship charter is a great way to recognize and reward your employees for their achievements and contributions. You can show your appreciation by hosting special events such as cocktail parties, awards ceremonies, gala dinners and spa treatments. You can also surprise your employees with personalized gifts such as champagne bottles, chocolates or souvenirs.
