Me & Co – Liven up your gathering at sea

A change of scene for a meeting may spark creative, innovative thinking and problem-solving. Planning to kick-off a new project or to hold a team building, brainstorming or management meeting?

Why not escape the office environment and go on a cruise on the route between Finland and Sweden. The two Superstars have perfect facilities. Finnlines’ new ro-pax vessels, Finncanopus and Finnsirius, have meeting facilities equipped with the latest conference technology. There are two smaller and three larger meeting rooms, which can be interconnected.

“The facilities can easily be adapted to various groups and they can serve many purposes, like a workshop, conference or a celebration,” says Satu Hirvenoja, Sales Manager at Finnlines’ Passenger Services.
When it is time for a break, snacks and refreshments are served in the Stellar Lounge, which is located at the bow of the ship on deck 12. Getting very “hangry” (hungry and angry)? The smart solution is to move full-ahead to one of the ship’s many restaurants.

Seacation – almost a vacation

Having finished the day’s work, participants can spend casual social time. The ships have a spa with jacuzzis and sauna, a gym and a yoga studio. Alternatively, groups can unwind in a wine-tasting session or attend a cocktail (or mocktail) class. Finnlines will be happy to hear any new suggestions.

“Many people prefer day trips as they want to return home for the night and our schedules allow this. Those who like an overnight cruise better can choose from a wide range of cabins. Instead of hustle and bustle, passengers can breathe in fresh sea air and be inspired by the views in the Archipelago,” Satu adds. “We have only had positive feedback on our meeting packages.”

Meetings can create stress, but also relieve stress when the atmosphere is relaxed and comfortable.
