Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings, LTD

With a combined fleet of 30 ships, Norwegian Cruise Holdings is a leading global cruise company that operates Norwegian Cruise Line, Oceania Cruises and Regent Seven Seas Cruises. These brands offer itineraries to more than 450 destinations worldwide.

The company’s new offering, Experiences at Sea, is a partnership between Sixthman Festivals at Sea and the cruise company’s own Charter, Meetings & Incentives division to create unique, immersive experiences for groups both on and off the ship. This could mean a corporate group privatizing a ship’s laser tag and having the C-suite face off against employees to build camaraderie, booking private cooking classes in a ship’s culinary center or even heading ashore to a destination like Cozumel for an adventurous day on high-speed boats.
