frequently asked questions

Is chartering a ship more expensive than a hotel event?

Surprisingly, no. The 'All-Inclusive' rate covers room, board, and venues. This often beats the final bill of a luxury hotel where separate costs for meeting rooms and catering pile up.

What is the budget to charter or rent a ship?

Rentals span a wide range—from approx. €35,000/day for luxury river ships to €500,000+/day for large ocean liners. These rates are generally all-inclusive, covering your guests, crew, fuel, and dining.

What is the timeline to charter a ship?

For a full ship rental with a custom route, 24 months is ideal. Standard charter opportunities are often available 12–18 months prior. If you are looking for a partial charter (group allocation), we can often move as fast as 6 months out.
