Our Entrepreneurs’ Empowerment Cruise is fast approaching.  This 5-day seminar at sea cruise is an excellent opportunity for you to meet like-minded entrepreneurs and find inspiration for your journey through 2020.  If that hasn’t convinced you that this is the event for you, consider one more thing – especially if you are a coach or speaker:  This is a great model for you to replicate.

Think about it.  As a speaker and a coach, you are always looking for ways to get in front of your audience, to impart your expertise to them and help them along in their journey.  You’ve held events at hotels or other accommodations, only to notice that your audience has a tendency to get distracted by emails, phone calls and more.  You feel as if you aren’t connecting with them the way you had hoped, and they aren’t connecting with each other to exchange ideas, form relationships or even fully process what they have learned.

What if you could get away from those distractions, provide an opportunity for your participants to connect with each other on a more personal level, and impart even more of your knowledge to them in an all-inclusive setting?  That’s what can happen when you hold your seminar or event at sea.

Here are some of the other benefits of holding an event at sea:

Budget Control:  Meeting spaces, meals and AV equipment are all included so you don’t have to worry about being nickeled and dimed to death

Relationship-Building Environment:  On a cruise, there are less distractions, so meeting attendance and participation is going to be much higher.  Your participants will be highly focused on the program and learning.

Built-In Entertainment:  There are so many entertainment options aboard a cruise ship that everyone can take advantage of.

Family Affair:  Even though your event may be for a specific audience, this is a chance for the entire family to take a vacation.  While one member is in meetings with you, there are many activities to keep the rest of the family entertained as well.

Think this may be a good option for you in the future?  Check out how it’s done on the Entrepreneurs’ Empowerment Cruise, February 1-6, 2020.  For details, click here.

In Part I of this series, we were excited to introduce our Entrepreneurs’ Empowerment Cruise, setting sail February 1-6, 2020.  The idea behind the cruise is twofold: (1) to provide an opportunity for you to grow as an entrepreneur, meet like-minded business owners, and get inspired for 2020; and (2) relax and enjoy yourself.

Probably the hardest thing for us as entrepreneurs to do is to relax and enjoy ourselves.  We are usually so caught up in the next “big thing” for our businesses that we forget to take the time to slow down and enjoy our surroundings.  This cruise is meant to do exactly that on one of Princess Cruises’ luxury ships, the Royal Princess.

Here are just some of the amenities that you will discover aboard the Royal Princess:

• Vegas Style Casino:  Whether you are a novice or high roller, you will experience all the fun and excitement of the casino life.
• Broadway Style Productions:  Are you a theater buff?  You won’t be disappointed with the lavish original productions on board the Royal Princess!
• Lotus Spa:  Need a bit of pampering?  The Lotus Spa offers a variety of treatments, from facials and massages to aromatherapy.
• Lotus Spa Fitness Center:  For those who need an energizing workout, the Lotus Spa Fitness Center has state-of-the-art equipment and a variety of fitness classes to enhance your workout experience.
• High Tea and Chocolate:  Enjoy an afternoon celebrating the elegance of high tea, or taste some of the exclusive, hand-crafted chocolates of master chocolatier Norman Love.
• Superbowl Party:  Yes, we haven’t forgotten that the Superbowl is February 2nd, and the Royal Princess will celebrate in style, with a tailgate party on deck and projecting the big game on the giant screen.
• Princess Live!:  Be part of the television audience for a variety of game shows, culinary shows, entertainment, comedy and more.

In addition to all the activities available on board during the cruise, you’ll have an opportunity to explore Cabo San Lucas, visiting the shops and sampling some of the local cuisine.  Or you can purchase one of the optional excursions – from snorkeling to sightseeing and horseback riding, and more.

The entrepreneurs’ Empowerment Cruise is just the right mix of business and pleasure to recharge your batteries and get ready for 2020.  The ship sets sail February 1-6, 2020.  Will you be there with us?  Click here for more details.
