One of the top line items on your school event planning checklist is always the venue. The setting in which you hold your event is one of the big memories people will carry with them after its end.
What could be more memorable than holding one on a cruise? From proms and fundraisers to reunions and educational trips, the Skyline Princess offers a unique setting that your guests and students will talk about for years to come.
School Events on the Skyline Princess
Picture a prom night or reunion with the iconic landmarks of NYC – the Statue of Liberty, Brooklyn Bridge, Ellis Island, and more – providing a rotating backdrop for photos and selfies. School dances on our Skylight deck are events to remember where you can dance the night away on our dedicated dance floor.
Don’t just think in terms of celebrations, though. We frequently host school field trips. Consider, for instance, the additional impact of a history lesson delivered on the water as the historic New York City skyline unfolds in the background. Or the natural beauty and Gold Coast mansions of the Long Island Sound! Our expert event planners possess a wealth of event and activity ideas and will ensure your group has everything needed for an amazing experience.
How Do You Plan a School Event?
Organization is key in event planning, and our in-house event planners will work with you to take as much of the load off your shoulders as possible. Our staff can take on those duties utilizing the vast array of connections we’ve built up over more than 30 years of cruises.
You can take several steps to ensure that things stay organized:
- Create a concise list of objectives. (Like making a list of everything needed)
- Determine your budget and leave some wiggle room for the unexpected.
- Book your venue. (Naturally, we recommend the Skyline Princess)
- If your event needs promotion, like a fundraiser, create a strategy.
- Determine your vendors for catering or other supplies and services.
- Recruit your volunteers.
- Always have a backup plan.
And, of course, you’ll need an agenda for the actual event. That will help you pace the day and ensure everyone is on the same page.
When you choose Skyline, in addition to fantastic views and a memory-making event, several of those planning steps become stress-free.
