This year's cruise will be a luxury 8-day Caribbean cruise packed with leaders from the network marketing, direct selling, and entrepreneur community. Join networkers from dozens of different companies and countries. It's a great place to meet new people, get new business building ideas at the seminars-at-sea, and receive thousands of dollars worth of free consulting during meals, on the beach or just hanging out around the ship.
That's right, every year for the past 28 years! This is the longest standing generic Direct Selling & Network Marketing event in history. Thousands of networkers have joined us over the years. You'll network with new networkers, top producing leaders, company owners, entrepreneurs and Direct Selling vendors.
The Mastermind Cruise is more than just a vacation. It's an experience you take with you even after your vacation is over. It's the stories you share, the photos you frame, the memories you relive with the people who matter most. Millions of moments have been made over the last quarter century on the Mastermind Cruise. Every year networkers reconnect, friendships are formed and people come together to gain knowledge and build memories they'll keep forever. What will you learn this year that can propel your business forward? Who will you connect with that can help you achieve your goals faster? What will your memories be from your Mastermind Cruise experience?
You get it ALL for less than the cost of staying at a hotel for a week...
The entire EIGHT-DAY cruise starts around $661 per person on our specially reserved cabins. Rates include the cruise, all meals on-board, seminars and entertainment. Airfare is additional. If you consider that this one price covers five meals a day, your onboard evening entertainment, your accommodation and even your networking seminars... well, you can see it will be the bargain of a lifetime. This price is less than what you'd pay just to hear some of these experts in a weekend seminar.
Why a luxury Caribbean cruise? Because we all deserve a break from the stress, the phone, and the cold winter weather. Where would you rather be in late November and early December; In a dark convention hall in a cold city listening to 3-days of lectures? Or networking at the highest level for a week, getting full access to some of the world's top producers, creating life-long memories, all while being entertained on a luxury cruise and exploring some of the most beautiful warm and sunny Caribbean islands? The decision is easy. Go to the warm weather, go with fun, friendship, freedom!
It's great to vacation with positive, goal-driven, fun people. You'll get to enjoy yourself by cruising with fellow networkers. Over the years, networkers from 60+ countries and 100+ different Direct Selling companies have been represented on the Mastermind Cruise. Sure, there will be seminars-at-sea and workshops, but we'll be having plenty of fun too! Come and network. Come have fun with like-minded people. Get some amazing lifestyle photos. Share the adventure on your social media. Gain knowledge that can help you create a bigger income long after the cruise is over. Life is made of moments, memories and friends... join us this year to create great memories and friends for life on the Mastermind Cruise!
Imagine having breakfast, lunch, and dinner with Direct Selling experts. You could literally receive thousands of dollars in free consulting during your eating and leisure time!
Maybe you enjoy taking a morning walk on the top deck. While walking your laps in the fresh sea breeze, you walk alongside Art Jonak asking him a few questions about how you can take advantage of future trends in Direct Selling. Or, maybe spot Tom "Big Al" Schreiter by the all-you-can-eat pizza bar, and you end up eating a few pizzas together while sharing prospecting ideas. Or, you might meet up with Wes Linden in the gym and ask his top tips for success. Or, you might hang out with Ken and Lisa Seto in the piano lounge and get insights on how to successfully expand your business internationally. Or watch the sunset on the back deck while discussing how to pivot on your finances with oil and gas mogul Jim Blakemore. Or, you might relax in the jacuzzi or pool with another industry expert and ask about a specific topic you need help with or want more insight on. Everyone who is part of the Mastermind Cruise will have a custom yellow lanyard with their name, so spotting and networking with other fellow networkers on the cruise will be easy!
Well, enough about the networking. It seems that after all the formal workshops and seminars-at-sea, previous cruise attendees tell us that the networking during the meals, by the ice-cream machine or during shore excursions was the highlight of their week. Your chance is now. The previous Mastermind Cruises completely sold out, leaving many people disappointed. Please. Don't miss out. Get one of the remaining spaces before they are all gone. I don't want you to miss this special 8-day trip.
Imagine being able to attend these information-packed seminars-at-sea. Imagine having dinner with these experts, socializing with these leaders, and well... you could be getting thousands of dollars of consulting in the most relaxed atmosphere imaginable. There will be a host of people on board who can share important business-building methods. Methods your team needs now. Methods your team needs you to bring back home.
The most important activity for you to do is to reserve your cabin now. All cabins are on a first-come, first-serve basis. So, if you miss out on our specially reserved block of discounted cabins, you might still be able to go, but at a much higher price. Or, you might not get a cabin at all!
We look forward to seeing you on the cruise!

Great question. Frankly, all cruises can be a blast! But here are our top reasons that make the Mastermind Cruise different from the other types of cruises you could attend:
1
Many of our attendees are proven leaders with huge, world-class organizations of their own. The opportunity to network with others on this cruise is simply second to none. There is a good chance the person you are sitting next to on deck, going on an excursion with, or having lunch with is already earning a great extra income or fantastic full-time income with Direct Selling. They might even be a top income earner, or company executive.
2
It should go without saying (but won't), that the events on the cruise are totally generic. We won't be endorsing or promoting any specific companies. We will only be teaching you and your team how to succeed better with YOUR company. So feel free to bring along your leaders, and the people you want to develop into leaders. We have a strict "don't recruit each other" policy. Of course, all guests on the ship who are NOT with our group and wearing a Mastermind Cruise lanyard are well, prospects. :)
3
We're not talking about a 3 or 4 day cruise, where you spend most of your time embarking and disembarking the cruise. This is a full 8-days of relaxation, fun, learning, networking... and MORE FUN!
Plus, the destinations this year are second to none. We'll be visiting some of the best Southern Caribbean islands with all the gorgeous beaches, delicious food, and perfect water for snorkeling. And we're not talking about half days or just a few hours on each island, on this cruise we'll be staying at most islands, Haiti, St Maarten, and St Kitts, for a FULL Day, from 9 am to 5 pm on each island.
This allows for maximum adventure, fun and networking with no need to rush off the ship and then back on the ship. Frankly, this is quite possible the perfect cruise itinerary!

Hear from the people who have experienced the Mastermind Cruise.
Hello! My name is Ada. I had the opportunity to be on the cruise 2 years ago and I loved it. Even though everyone was from a different company, we had the privilege of learning with the best leaders in the world and building one on one relationships with them. Secondly, the hospitality, ship and service on the cruise were awesome. The food in all the restaurants was delicious. I highly recommend going on the cruise!
If I had known what an awesome experience it was I wouldn't have missed a single one! There is no better way to experience the tremendous sense of community in the Direct Selling industry than to be in The Caribbean with blue skies, warm sunshine, great people, great food, outstanding excursions, more fun than you can imagine.
When I told people I had been at a business conference on a cruise ship in the Caribbean, they were just blown away and wanted to know more. So not only did I get some great new ideas and tons of motivation on the Mastermind Cruise, I have also found the experience very useful as a recruiting story!
We have been on the cruise several times and must say that the value of creating friendships and gaining priceless insights from top leaders from around the world, while on a beach in the Caribbean is amazing! And everything is included! Just bring your team and a smile!
This first Direct Selling cruise for me was absolutely outstanding, the associations that I've made while chatting with top leaders from around the world, plus having fun, relaxed seminars followed by walking the best beaches in the world, just top class - oh and booked for this year too!
My favorite direct selling activity of the whole year!! There is NO better opportunity to learn from the best because it's not just about the training days at sea, it's about the mentoring moments woven into every day interactions on deck, at the beach, or during dinner. If you haven't treated yourself to a Direct Selling cruise yet and you want to help yourself shift into a higher gear, BOOK YOUR TICKETS!
Book before Jan 3 and you can save 30%!
