Planning to Attend a Cruise Conference

Planning to Attend a Cruise Conference

As a healthcare professional, you are required to complete continuing education courses to maintain your licensure. As you search for your next conference, why not indulge in a fabulous vacation at the same time? Treat yourself with exotic seashores, world-class dining, and entertainment while attending a CME medical conference at a cruise conference. These fantastic cruises not only offer education at a live conference, but also a spectacular once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Statistically speaking, the demand for live CME medical conferences on cruise ships have grown into a $117 billion dollar industry and is expanding on a yearly basis. This is due to attractive pricing paired with the benefit of combining a family vacation with informative seminars. Many physicians and healthcare professionals are opting for cruise ship conferences to spend some quality time with their families and get out of the usual hotel room experience.

According to our database, 165 CME medical conferences are slated to be held on various cruise ships. These upcoming conferences will be covering a wide variety of specialties and are located around the world, from the United States, Europe, Asia, South America, Australia and many other exotic destinations.

These med cruises offer intense but entertaining conferences which include interactive panels and practice sessions with a focus on clinical application. They also seek to update clinicians on the latest developments in the field, as well as the latest policy, procedures, and technology. Unlike other CME conferences which typically last only 2-3 days, these tend to be a little longer and spread over several days.

In addition to sightseeing, CME cruises include a variety of activities a family can enjoy on the ship such as the spa, wine tasting, casino, movies by the poolside, ocean bar, fitness center, kids entertainment, and world-class dining. Some of these cruises even have complimentary packages for the delegate’s spouse and children attending the conference which are included in the conference package.

When compared to a bland hotel room, a cruise stateroom offers a much better view and experience at nearly the same price. Apart from the lavish amenities, a cruise ship also offers a taste of class with onboard entertainment performances by renowned artists and what better way to get inspired than by the breathtaking constellation of the night sky.

These cruises offer a brilliant and renowned roster of speakers who will be conducting the conferences and the session material is considered to be in-depth and valuable for healthcare professionals who want to improve their practice. By combining a conference with the added entertainment factor, the whole session is sure to be a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

As with any conference, networking is often an important part of the experience. Another bonus factor in these cruises is that the networking among professionals and family members tends to last for several days. The opportunity to interact and engage with faculty members, colleagues, and peers increases.

We highly recommend booking well ahead of time to capitalize on early bird offers and to get one of the best rooms with the view. If you are still struggling to figure out which CME cruise conference to attend, then visit our website for more details at eMedEvents.com.
