10× Royal Caribbean Corporate Incentive Partner of the Year

The short version

Our most awarded partnership

Royal Caribbean has named Buy the Sea its Corporate Incentive Partner of the Year ten times.

2008 · 2009 · 2010 · 2013 · 2014 · 2015 · 2017 · 2018 · 2019 · 2023

Royal Caribbean builds the ships people talk about. The Icon and Oasis classes are floating resorts, with neighborhoods, Broadway-style shows, ice rinks and the AquaTheater. For a large incentive or a sales meeting with a big headcount, few lines give a group this much to do, or this much room to do it in.

Full-ship charters, partial charters and group blocks are all on the table, sailing to more than 300 destinations. See the at-sea overview for every line we represent, or all 25 of our partner awards.

Onboard

What your attendees will be talking about

AquaTheater show at the stern of Harmony of the Seas

01 — Shows built for a big ship

Shows built for a big ship

High divers and aerialists in the AquaTheater, ice shows in Studio B and full productions in the main theater. A private performance or a theater buyout makes a strong awards night.

Central Park neighborhood on Harmony of the Seas

02 — Neighborhoods, not hallways

Neighborhoods, not hallways

Central Park, the Boardwalk and the Royal Promenade break a big ship into smaller places. Your group always has somewhere to gather, and somewhere quieter when they want it.

Wonderland restaurant on Harmony of the Seas

03 — Dining with range

Dining with range

From Wonderland and Izumi to steakhouses and casual spots, there is enough variety for a full week. Private dining rooms and venue buyouts make group dinners easy.

Solarium lounge under a glass canopy on Oasis of the Seas

04 — A quieter end of the ship

A quieter end of the ship

The adults-only Solarium and the suite areas give your top achievers their own space, away from the busiest decks.

The private island

Perfect Day at CocoCay

Royal Caribbean’s private island in the Bahamas: waterslides, a freshwater pool, overwater cabanas, a helium balloon ride and long stretches of beach. A private beach party or a block of cabanas for your top tier is an easy add to the program.

Where they sail

The Caribbean, Alaska, Europe and beyond

Royal Caribbean sails the Caribbean and Bahamas year-round from Florida, Texas and other US homeports, Alaska in summer, and the Mediterranean and Northern Europe in season, with deployments across Asia and Australia. Short three- and four-night sailings suit a sales meeting; seven nights suits a full incentive.

Working together

How we make Royal Caribbean work for your program

Buy the Sea has placed corporate groups and full-ship charters with Royal Caribbean for more than two decades, and the ten Partner of the Year awards came from that work. We know the fleet, we know the people, and we know what to ask for so your program gets the ship, the spaces and the dates it needs. That is the part we handle.

Bring us a headcount, a budget and a range of dates. We will come back with real options across the Royal Caribbean fleet, and across every other line, because we represent all of them and we are paid by the cruise line, never by you. Here is why that matters.

Questions planners ask

Royal Caribbean, answered

Can we charter an entire Royal Caribbean ship?

Yes. Full-ship charters are available across the fleet, up to the Oasis and Icon classes. Partial charters and group blocks work too, and we will price the options side by side.

How big a group can Royal Caribbean handle?

The largest ships carry more than 5,000 guests at double occupancy, so programs from a few dozen people to several thousand all fit.

Can we hold meetings and brand the experience on board?

Yes. Theaters, lounges and conference space can be reserved for general sessions and breakouts, and charters open up branding options. What is possible depends on the ship and your headcount.
