FAQs
What types of events at sea do you design?
We design and curate a wide range of events, from intimate gatherings to meetings, incentives, and conferences for groups and charters of all sizes. These may include corporate retreats, weddings, themed parties, celebrations, activities and experiences from a single day event to multi-day fully-bespoke experiences.
How do you customize events to fit the unique setting of a cruise ship or private yacht?
We tailor each event to the vessel's layout and offer endless possibilities, from nautical and geo-topical themes celebrating local culture to simple or sublime fully bespoke experiences. We bring dreams to life and elevate your event with personalised décor, lighting, branding services, and multi-faceted entertainment curation.
What is the process for planning an event with Events Design @ Sea?
Our process begins with a consultation to understand your vision and requirements. We then create a bespoke event plan, manage all logistics, coordinate with vendors, and oversee the event execution to ensure a seamless experience.
What is the typical lead time required to plan and execute an event aboard a cruise ship or yacht?
Creating a bespoke event plan and managing all logistics requires time and precision, so the earlier we can start discussions, the better. We recommend a lead time of at least 3-6 months for planning and executing a bespoke event, though we can accommodate shorter timelines depending on the event’s complexity and the vessel's availability.
Do you handle all the logistics and permits required for hosting an event at sea?
Yes, we manage all necessary logistics including permits, safety regulations, and coordination with the cruise or yacht crew to ensure your event complies with maritime laws and runs smoothly.
Can you provide examples of themed events you have designed aboard ships or yachts?
We have designed a wide variety of themed and branded events and experiences at sea, pier-side, and onboard. These range from single-day celebrations to week-long fully customised experiences at sea on cruise ships, private vessels, and riverboats across the globe.
How do you handle catering and entertainment for events at sea?
We collaborate with top-tier chefs and catering services to provide exquisite dining experiences. For entertainment, we offer multi-faceted entertainment curation including live bands, DJs, specialty performers, fireworks, and drone shows to ensure a truly unforgettable experience.
Do you offer packages, or is each event completely bespoke?
While we offer a range of customisable packages to suit different budgets and preferences, every event is ultimately tailored to meet the specific desires and requirements of our clients.
What are the costs involved in planning an event with your company?
Costs vary widely depending on the size, complexity, and location of the event. We provide a detailed estimate after the initial consultation, outlining all expenses to ensure transparency and alignment with your budget.
