Opportunities for unusual or exclusive meeting venues abound on board ship.
Groups can lay claim to the ship's theatre and transform it by day into a lecture hall or presentation venue, or use a selection of the ship's smaller public rooms for meetings.
As more ships are built to satisfy demand, so organisers are provided with a greater choice of purpose-built meeting facilities coupled with state-of-the-art audio visual equipment.
Many of the "new build" projects are being done with the needs of the MC&I market in mind. Just one example is Royal Caribbean's new ship Enchantment of the Seas which has a dedicated conference centre, seating up to 180 delegates. Features include flexible break-out rooms, electronic partitioning, a 42 decibel level of privacy and an on-board convention services coordinator.
