TO MIX BUSINESS WITH PLEASURE

JUST ADD WATER.

TM

If you’re thinking about holding a meeting or incentive program at the same old landlocked hotel overlooking the interstate, it’s time to think outside the box – about 500 nautical miles outside the box. If you’re looking to increase sales, recognize performance and build morale, a Royal Caribbean cruise has more of what you really want from a corporate event. Like what? Well, how about these: • 248 must-visit destinations in 74 countries • Some of the most innovative, state-of-the-art ships in the world • Amazing onboard and onshore activities • Gold Anchor Service® featuring one of the friendliest crews at sea • 3- through 11-night cruises departing from ports all around the world It’s a unique combination we call The Royal AdvantageSM – a combination that makes us the preferred brand and ideal choice for your next corporate event. And apparently, other respected members of the travel community agree:

WHY HOLD YOUR CORPORATE EVENT WITH US?

BECAUSE WE CAN ACCOMMODATE EVERYONE FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD

TO THE BIG KAHUNA. Everyone knows the Chairman likes a good return on his investment dollar. Well, a Royal Caribbean cruise isn’t just a good value, it’s a great value. Why? With most meals and onboard amenities included in one low price, meetings and incentive travel on Royal Caribbean are a significantly better value compared to land-based options. And the advantages don’t stop there. We also have meeting facilities that can handle groups of every size; state-of-the-art presentation and communications capabilities; and event coordinators to ensure your meeting experience lives up to your most demanding expectations. So why hold your corporate event with us? A better question is: Why wouldn’t you? In fact, here is what one customer had to say: “Royal Caribbean cruises have been proven to be exciting incentive programs…they exude an aura that is hard to duplicate with most land-based programs. In summary, a Royal Caribbean cruise is real value for the money.” Steve Kautzman Sales Promotion Specialist, State Auto Insurance Companies

WHY SO MANY MEETING SPACES? BECAUSE ONE SIZE DOES NOT FIT ALL. Just match the size of your party with the ships and rooms that can accommodate the number of people in your group. Need more space? No problem. Most ships’ A/B- and C/D-level rooms are connected, which means they can be easily combined to provide larger meeting space.

THEY’VE HELPED YOUR COMPANY REACH NEW HEIGHTS ALL YEAR LONG.

TIME TO RETURN THE FAVOR. Incentive programs are much more than simple reward systems. They’re intended to inspire and motivate your team or clients to perform and deliver at the highest level. Truth is, incentive experts know that travel is the most preferred rewards program for incentives. Add to that the fact that cruising has the highest satisfaction rating among alternatives for incentive travel, and there’s simply no better choice than a Royal Caribbean cruise. Your top achievers will experience incredible destinations, impeccable service, once-in-a-lifetime activities, and of course, some of the most amazing and innovative ships in the world. Simply put, it’s way more than a cruise. And as if all that isn’t enough, we can even customize your company’s individual incentive program. Here are just a few examples of how we can enhance your onboard amenities and onshore activities: • Private events and receptions

• Team-building events

• Private awards ceremony or recognition event

• Logos printed on menus, ice carvings, cakes, banners, cocktail napkins or daily activity programs

• Open-bar liquor packages • Customized stateroom deliveries and pillow gifts • Customized shore excursions

• Your company’s flag onboard • And the ultimate in customization – a full ship charter
