TEAM & INCENTIVE EVENTS AT SEA
Your team earned more than another hotel ballroom.
You want to reward your people, build real relationships, and create something they'll remember — but you're already running at capacity. We handle every detail so you can show up, lead, and take the credit.
A cruise-based team event can cost up to 40% less than a comparable land-based resort — with meals, entertainment, and accommodations all included.
Curated options, handpicked for your group
Planning burden on your team
Call to get started
INCENTIVE TRIPS | LEADERSHIP RETREATS | ALL-HANDS MEETINGS | CLIENT APPRECIATION EVENTS
You're the CEO, the HR department, and the event committee — all at once.
Most small business owners genuinely want to do something meaningful for their team. A real reward. Something that shows the year mattered. But between running the business, managing people, and keeping clients happy — "plan a team event" slides down the list indefinitely.
So it either doesn't happen, or you book the same conference hotel you always use and wonder why it never quite feels like enough.
There's a better way. And it happens to float.
No bandwidth to plan it
You're already at capacity. Adding "research venues, negotiate contracts, coordinate travel" to your plate isn't realistic.
Budget uncertainty
It's hard to commit when you don't know what things actually cost until you're deep in the process.
Overwhelmed by options
Too many cruise lines, ships, and itineraries. No idea what's right for a business group.
Skeptical team members
"A cruise?" We hear this a lot. We know exactly how to change their minds — and we will.
WHAT ARE YOU PLANNING?
EVERY KIND OF TEAM EVENT, BETTER AT SEA.
Whether you're rewarding top performers or bringing your whole company together, a cruise delivers more impact at a surprisingly competitive price.
Incentive Trips & Performance Rewards
Your top performers made this year happen. Reward them with something genuinely different — a shared adventure that's harder to forget than a gift card and impossible to replicate at the Marriott.
Leadership Retreats & All-Hands Meetings
Strategic planning works better when people are fully present and truly away from the office. A ship provides natural meeting spaces, sea days for focused work, and evenings that build the relationships that make teams function better.
Client Appreciation Events
Bringing your best clients on a shared experience is one of the most powerful relationship-building tools in business. You handle the invite. We handle everything else. They remember it forever.
WHY A CRUISE WORKS
THE VENUE THAT DOES THE WORK FOR YOU
Everything that makes hotel events frustrating disappears when your venue is a ship.
Everyone stays together
No scattered hotels. No "meet at the restaurant at 7." The ship is the venue, the resort, and the dinner — one contained environment where presence is the default.
Multiple destinations, zero unpacking
New port every morning. New shared story every day. The trip feels bigger and more adventurous than a comparable land event — because it genuinely is.
Predictable all-in pricing
Meals, accommodations, and entertainment included. No surprise invoices, no per-person bar tabs. Real budget clarity from day one — often up to 40% less than a comparable land-based resort.
Work can't follow them
There's something about being at sea that gives people genuine permission to be present. The psychological distance from the office is real — and that's exactly what makes cruise events so effective for team connection.
SAILINGS WE LOVE RIGHT NOW
Three itineraries built for business groups
These are our current top picks for small business teams.
Contact us for group pricing and perks on any of these.
The Journey Cruise
Royal Caribbean · Serenade of the Seas
5 nights · Los Angeles → Seattle → Victoria → Vancouver
Board in LA, disembark in Vancouver. A one-way journey that's intentional for a group that's growing together. Two sea days for focused sessions, two ports for shared exploration.
The Quick Win
Virgin Voyages · Resilient Lady
4 nights · Miami → Key West → Bimini Beach Club
Adults-only. All dining and entertainment included. A day in Key West, then exclusive access to Virgin's private Beach Club in Bimini. Four nights is enough to change the way your team sees each other.
The Island Experience
MSC Cruises - Seaside
4 nights · Miami → Bahamas, overnight at Ocean Cay
This is the one that changes minds about cruising. Your team wakes up anchored off MSC's private island in the Bahamas. No crowds. Just your group and the ocean. Perfect for skeptics.
These are starting points, not the only options. We'll find the perfect fit for your specific group, timeline, and budget.
"Looking back, I could absolutely see how many of the public spaces could be repurposed for meetings and celebration spaces. There's something for every kind of group — and it's easy for people to choose to spend time together outside of meeting times."
— Jay Kerschner, Executive Director, American Water College
"Working with Untethered Voyages was such a relief. They listened to my goals and took care of all the things that are hard to coordinate. I wish I had found them years ago."
— Becca Pearce, CEO, Extend Coaching & Consulting
