28 Apr 10 Spend Memorial Day in Maine
Corporate teams work hard together but often do not get enough opportunity to play together, especially during the long dreary months. Many parts of the US were hit hard by winter storms and your staff may need to shake off their winter blues. A great way to motivate, inspire, and reward your team is a four day cruise meeting to Maine, relaxing on a historic windjammer.
The Lewis R. French is a magnificent windjammer in the truest sense of the word; she travels without the aid of motor and skims around Penobscot Bay and the Maine Islands relying solely on 3000 square feet of sail. The vessel sets said from Camden, Maine on May 27 kicking off with an all you can eat lobster bake. No strict destination is set as this 136 year-old windjammer relies on the wind, tides, and mood to guide her way.
The French, as she is affectionately known, has 13 cozy cabins, each with a window, running water, and electric lights. Fresh sea air, great food, and the opportunity to relax while learning about Maine wildlife will make the voyage one your team will always remember. Leave the laptops, cell phones, and PDAs behind; the goal is to create bonds and interests outside the boardroom.

21 Apr 10 7 Day Incentive Cruise on the Carnival Conquest
An all-inclusive, 7-day cruise meeting makes a great incentive for a team shaking off the winter blues. The Carnival Conquest leaves Galveston every Sunday traveling one week to the eastern Caribbean, the next week to the western Caribbean.
The eastern cruise leaves Galveston and travels to Key West, Florida; Freeport, Bahamas; Nassau, Bahamas; then returns to Galveston. If you prefer to travel west, the Carnival Conquest moves from Galveston to Montego Bay, Jamaica; Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands; Cozumel, Mexico; and returns to Galveston. The hardest choice to make is which direction to travel.
One of the “fun ships” in the Carnival line, the Conquest is equipped with a 270 square foot television screen. This allows passengers to enjoy movies, sporting events, and special programming on the Lido deck. The sound system uses special technology that results in concert quality sound.
Families are a big part of the Carnival Conquest and are sure to enjoy the swimming pool, basketball and volleyball courts, and water slide. Teenagers will enjoy the video arcade and 24-hour pizzeria. The cruise ship also has a 3,300 square foot children’s play area.
Try an all-inclusive, 7-day incentive cruise on the Carnival Conquest. It will be the most relaxing vacation your team has ever had.
