Experience an unforgettable event with your employees on one of our two ships in a magical atmosphere on the Tagus River, along the picturesque riverbanks of Lisbon! Our experienced team is here to assist you with every aspect of planning your corporate event. Below, we have compiled the most important tips for you.
The first step in planning a corporate event with FRS is to determine its purpose.
The event can be used for team building, or it can be an occasion to celebrate a shared success, such as an end-of-year gathering or a company anniversary.
The purpose of the event often sets the tone, which can be either formal or relaxed.
Once the goal of the corporate event is established, you can move on to planning the financial framework. The main costs to consider include venue, catering, entertainment, and decorations.
Ideally, all employees should be able to attend the corporate event. Carefully check staff availability in advance, taking into account vacation schedules and work hours. Also, be mindful of holidays and other major events in the region to avoid scheduling conflicts.
Depending on the number of guests, you can choose between two different-sized ships. Our barrier-free convertible ship MS Hanseblick can accommodate up to 150 people, while our double-decker ship MS Schaprode offers space for up to 250 guests.
If you're planning a smaller gathering, we can also provide a designated area exclusively for your group, offering everything you need for a perfect event.
Decide in advance who will be invited to the corporate event and whether it will be exclusively for employees or if partners and clients can also attend. Having an overview of the expected guests helps when preparing invitations and deciding whether to send them digitally via email or by post.
Take advantage of our experience in onboard catering and coordinate with us regarding the type of food to be served. From buffets to finger foods and snacks — everything is possible.
It’s important to consider dietary restrictions, allergies, and preferences for vegetarian or vegan options. Beverage selection is also essential: Work with us to determine the availability of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks.
Music plays a key role in a corporate event. You can choose between a playlist played through our sound system, a DJ, or a live band. Additionally, interactive activities such as quizzes, team-building games, or even an award ceremony can make the event more exciting.
To add a personal touch, consider inviting a guest speaker or including speeches from employees or the management team.
An effective way to enhance the ambiance of your corporate event is through the design of the onboard space. We provide the necessary equipment and arrange tables, chairs, and other furniture according to your preferences.
Choosing a theme in advance can also help create a cohesive experience, guiding guests through the event like a red thread.
Important technical components for a corporate event include microphones, speakers, and projectors for presentations or speeches.
A photo booth or video recording service can also be a great addition. Various providers in Lisbon offer rental services, so consider options that include setup and support for the equipment.
To ensure smooth communication, send invitations and reminders in advance, including details about the dress code, parking options, and the event schedule.
It’s also helpful to designate a point of contact for guest inquiries during the event.
To create lasting memories, consider hiring a photographer or photo team.
If it aligns with your company’s social media presence, the event can also serve as a great opportunity for a social media campaign, with hashtags to engage attendees online.
After the event, participants will appreciate receiving the best photos. Send them along with a thank-you email or a printed card.
Additionally, gathering feedback from guests can help improve future events.
As you can see, planning the perfect corporate event requires careful consideration. With our experience and support, we will assist you at every step to ensure your event is a great success!
