Our accommodation support vessels offer turnkey solutions with comfortable housing to help crew members recharge after long hours. They include sleeping quarters, private bathrooms, dining areas, and lounges. Recreational spaces promote social interaction, improving the well-being and morale of teams in remote locations.
Can Landry & Kling find ships to add rooms for my global event?
Yes! If you need extra sleeping rooms for large conferences or global government and sporting events in a port city, dockside floating accommodations are an innovative solution. A ship charter offers unique advantages, including higher security and privacy, exclusive access to dining, meeting, and entertainment spaces, and the freedom to customize and brand the ship. Landry & Kling introduced the concept of using cruise ships as “floating hotels” in 1987, and we remain the global leader in brokering and managing dockside accommodation ship charters.
