Programs on these ships, sailing in the North American area, are tax deductible by corporations or individual participants for up to $2000 pp per year. (Additional conditions apply.)
* Ratings on a 5-point scale. Many of these vessels are below the level typically required for an incentive program or meeting at sea. However the newer ones shouldn’t be overlooked for use by small groups who appreciate a casual environment and the opportunity for the total exclusivity and control a full-ship charter provides, cruising some of America’s most scenic waterways including Alaska.
** Capacity reflects total passenger count, based on double occupancy.
