Based in Sydney, Laura Clarke, Founder & Managing Director of Events at Sea, said, “We’re for event planners, special interest groups, or corporations who would like to charter a full or partial ship to elevate their next event with unparalleled privacy, exclusivity, and event customisation options.
Leveraging experience that covers all disciplines required to successfully deliver world-class events onboard the world’s leading cruise ships, Events at Sea provides services ranging from global ship sourcing, contract negotiation, cruise booking platform and a dedicated cruise program manager. From ship selection, contract negotiation, professional cruise booking platform management, logistics support and full program management for full-ship charters and large groups, Events at Sea manages all elements of an event cruise anywhere in the world.
Events at Sea is a new business offering an all-inclusive service for meeting and event planners and special interest groups organising an event aboard a ship.
At Events at Sea, we can identify areas where you can save on your event through contract negotiations and optimising the use of included entertainment and activities, meals, accommodations, and meeting and event space with advanced AV equipment provided at no additional cost.
We offer a personalised service by learning about each client’s business, goals and event need and tailoring our advice, strategy and services to the specific challenges of an event.
Of all the types of business to develop during the pandemic, it may seem that cruising would be an unlikely choice, considering where the cruising industry was only a short time ago. Our team has the knowledge, expert skills and market-leading experience that covers all disciplines required to deliver an event at sea successfully.
So, we can organise an event at sea for you, whether you’re an event planner, a specialist interest group, or a corporation. It’s a business that grew organically, as many people want help organising an event at sea and simply don’t know where to start.
Laura Clarke’s background lies in developing and managing full ship charter programs, including music festivals, corporate events, conferences and upmarket incentives at Cruiseco, for more than 15 years. I have worked with over 60 cruise lines, and the whole team at Events at Sea has a broad and deep knowledge of the industry, its processes, and best practices. The Events at Sea business concept was developed during the pandemic’s height.
Cruising offers all-inclusive pricing on board and can provide significant cost savings compared to a similar land-based resort. You only pay for the services that you need, when you need them, providing substantial savings over hiring a salaried employee to complete similar tasks.” These events are often up to two years in the making, so it is invaluable to have a team like ours on hand to help make it happen. However, I see a real gap in the market, it’s where my experience lies, and there is huge pent-up demand in this area, so we cannot wait to get started.
