Cruises offer the best overall value for businesses planning an offsite meeting, building an incentive for their salespeople or designing a special event for their employees, partners or clients. Modern ships also provide the perfect social environment for professional groups to mix and mingle. Participants who want a break from company action can retreat to the spa, relax in a lounge or enjoy a book in a well-appointed alcove.
Benefits of Booking a Corporate and Incentive Cruise
Groups often get the best overall value -- if you plan well in advance -- particularly when you factor in special group amenities like complimentary wine or champagne, chocolates, cocktail parties, shipboard credits, spa services and private gatherings. Cruise lines will also work to brand your company's event at every opportunity with items such as ice sculptures of your corporate logo. For full charters, cruise lines will even let you set your own itinerary! To take advantage of group benefits, you must book the entire group through our Group Department.

Business Facilities Onboard
The Planning Process
All successful corporate and incentive groups require the involvement of a company travel manager. This professional is responsible for designing the meetings and events the company desires on board and communicating booking details like the payment process, documentation requirements and dining requests to all participants.
With Vacations To Go, you will get a highly-trained corporate and incentive group specialist who will be your single point of contact for the planning and booking process. Your group specialist will even create a personalized Web page for your group where participants can get answers to questions about the cruise.
Every corporate and incentive group must sign a contract with the cruise line that covers prices, amenities and terms and conditions for the group booking. As one of the largest cruise-selling agencies in the world, we have strong buying power and competitive rates on every ship that enable us to negotiate the best contract on your behalf.
Tax Savings
Businesses may be able to write off corporate cruises as a business expense. We encourage you to verify this with your tax professional.
