Everyone was so kind and accommodating and I think they enjoyed watching us have fun. The food exceeded everyone's expectation and the take home boxes were definitely a hit. After we boarded the vessel, the weather cleared up and the view was spectacular. All of our out of town guests were quite impressed with what the Pacific Northwest has to offer.

Incredible Cruise Event Experience! We hosted our Top Producers event on a cruise, and it was nothing short of amazing! The event went off without a hitch. The team was incredibly proactive—when a leak occurred, they quickly handled it behind the scenes so it didn’t impact the event in the slightest. The food was delicious, and the atmosphere onboard was perfect for every type of guest. Whether people wanted to dance, relax and enjoy the views, or engage in great conversation, there was a space for it all. They even made sure we had everything set up for our award presentation, making the moment feel special and seamless. Working with the team was a breeze, and the feedback from our attendees was overwhelmingly positive. It was an unforgettable experience, and I highly recommend this cruise for anyone looking to host a memorable, well-executed event!

We took Waterways for an end of conference cruise and had an amazing time. Thank you, Courtney, for helping set us up! Cal was our cruise manager. Captain was funny and very nice. Food and drinks were great too!
