Your Cruise event Planning Team

We bring together travel planning expertise and event management experience to create extraordinary events at sea.

We believe that cruise ships offer something unique for event hosts: dedicated spaces for connection, built-in luxury, and the ability to visit multiple destinations while your group stays comfortably in one place. We founded Untethered Voyages to help you create extraordinary experiences that your attendees will never forget.
