Matthew, Senior Director of Global Charters & Incentives at Crystal Cruises | MICE Market & 2026 Matthew Boutwell, Senior Director of Global Charters and Incentives for Crystal Cruises and Abercrombie and Kent MICE, provides an insightful overview of how Crystal Cruises uniquely serves the meetings, incentives, conferences, and exhibitions (MICE) market. Crystal Cruises offers an all-inclusive pricing model that simplifies budgeting and procurement for clients, providing significant value for both guests and incentive agencies. The cruise line’s recent relaunch in 2023 reduced passenger capacity but maintained extensive public spaces, resulting in the highest public space to guest ratio at sea, ideal for meetings and incentive events. Crystal Cruises operates its own Destination Management Companies (DMCs) in 39 countries, which, combined with its cruise offerings, allows seamless tour operations before, during, and after cruises—an advantage unmatched by competitors. The cruise line’s primary MICE focus is on the incentive market, where its all-inclusive packages and unique onboard experiences, such as Michelin-starred dining and exclusive venues, deliver luxury while supporting practical business needs. Looking ahead to 2026, Crystal Cruises is introducing new short voyages and exclusive dining options to further enhance their MICE offerings. 🔔 Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more travel insights and destination guides! 🎥 Other Recommended Videos / Playlists https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8lnsQMrJiEetixtqMjk3x_KBL1rECx-M&si=ApOHJW90uvEXdTiF https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8lnsQMrJiEclBq3cl9WKaRq4AmMVArVz&si=hV5dEHG4v4mrfuf3 https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8lnsQMrJiEcGMfdtLwx8U8tNCBcyESy6&si=zQC5cM1qPO62ioXs Travel And Tour World is more than a magazine – it’s a global trade communication platform for the travel and hospitality ecosystem.
