The Future of Experiential Cruise Destinations
$100.00
Session Description
With a rising demand in the industry for private island destinations, cruise lines are upping the ante when it comes to developing passenger amenities on their slices of paradise. In this session, hear from development consultants who support industry leaders like Carnival Cruise Line as they share what’s next for cruising’s onshore plans—especially following the recent debut of Carnival’s Celebration Key in the Bahamas this past summer. This panel offers insights about how owned islands are surpassing guest expectations, and how immersive design can create a different kind of vacation experience beyond the usual ports.
Key Takeaways
- Examine how the cruise industry’s amenities drive guest demand
- Compare which land offerings fit into the “all-inclusive” onboard model and apply those guest expectations to their own parks and facilities
- Recognize the value of staying competitive in an entertainment market by developing unique offerings
