Dockside Accommodation Ships
When hotel rooms are scarce, a dockside accommodation ship charter is your innovative solution for adding sleeping rooms and meeting space.
Using a cruise ship as a “floating hotel” is a practical option for events like international sports, government summits, or large conferences in a port city. Ship charters offer high security, flexible customization, and access to private dining, meeting, and entertainment areas.
Benefits of Staying on Dockside Accommodation Ships
Staying on a cruise ship offers a unique and practical housing option with many unique benefits not found in land-based properties. With a dockside charter, you’ll have:
- Greater privacy and security than a hotel
- Freedom to customize and brand the ship
- Exclusive use of all dining, meeting, and entertainment venues and sports facilities
- Cost savings with meals, entertainment, and use of AV included
- A wide range of room accommodations
- Convenient, self-contained venue, avoiding traffic and costly transfers
- The memorable, unique experience of staying on a cruise ship
