Since our founding in 1982, Landry & Kling has become the world leader in ship-based meetings and events, incentive cruises, floating accommodations, and long-term vessel charters.
If we can’t find a suitable vessel for you, nobody can!
Forty years ago, Landry & Kling introduced the concept of utilizing cruise ships as ‘floating hotels’ and has since spearheaded numerous vessel charters for prestigious business, sporting events, and government summits. These include the Rio Summer Olympics, Super Bowl XXXXIX in Jacksonville, the Cricket World Cup in Barbados, the Fifth Summit of the Americas in Trinidad, the G7 Summit in Cornwall, England, and the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26) in Glasgow, Scotland.
Headquartered in Miami, Florida with additional locations in Southhampton, UK and Dubai, UAE, we are uniquely positioned to meet the growing demand for ship and vessel solutions anywhere in the world.
Our strategic shipping and maritime partnerships give us access to a worldwide database of ships and vessels none can match, allowing us to source appropriate vessels and offer turnkey solutions, no matter your specific needs and requirements.

Landry & Kling’s worldwide sales team of cruise and vessel experts supports meeting and event planners, government & sports marketing entities, and clients who require cruise ship solutions or long-term floating accommodation charters. Working from regional offices, all sales associates have access to local resources and port agency services to provide local time zone support.
Global partnerships
Our strategic shipping & maritime partnerships in North America, Dubai UAE, and Southampton UK give us access to a worldwide database of ships and vessels for complex and niche projects.
