You’ve Never Celebrated Like This Before: A Family Celebration on a Ship

When everyone raves about how amazing it was… chances are it was a family celebration on a ship.

A secluded beach, beautifully set tables in the sand, soft live music. Family, friends – multiple generations – all to yourselves. Just offshore, your yacht sparkles at anchor — or rather, your cruise ship, chartered exclusively through OceanEvent. Whether it’s for 30 guests, 300, or many more!

A family celebration on a ship blends effortless elegance with deep emotions — and tons of fun: dinners under the stars, open-air movie nights on deck, adrenaline-pumping jet ski rides from your own marina platform — plus shore excursions you won’t find on any standard itinerary. You, your guests, and your family will remember this experience for the rest of your lives.

OceanEvent doesn’t just provide the ship — we craft the entire celebration with you. As experienced planners of private cruise charters, we transform your wishes and ideas into once-in-a-lifetime experiences: From the first route draft to farewell cocktails, we handle it all — charter contracts, flights, logistics, décor, evening entertainment, shore excursions, guest management, and all coordination with the onboard crew and officers.

Whether it’s a wedding in the Bay of Amalfi, a birthday celebration on the beaches of St. Lucia, or a long-awaited reunion aboard a tall ship — we’ll turn it into a journey of unforgettable moments.

Here are three of many extraordinary options we’ve prepared for your family celebration at sea…

From St. Maarten to Barbados | March 2026 | Up to 96 Guests

This route is made for relaxed, stylish family gatherings. Starting in Saint Maarten, you’ll explore St. Barth, Antigua, Les Saintes, St. Lucia, the Tobago Cays, and finally, Barbados — a string of stunning islands, each with its own distinct character and charm.

Your ship? Sunlit and elegant, with panoramic suites, private balconies, and a sky deck that’s the heart of the ship by day — and transforms into a lively venue for barbecue, music, and good conversation by night.

Launch paddleboards or snorkeling adventures from your private marina into the crystal-clear Caribbean waters. Drop anchor at Mayreau, where OceanEvent will have set up a powder-white private beach just for you. Picture-perfect moments, drinks, music, and shared joy await. In the evening, return to your ship glowing with light on calm waters, already dreaming of the next stop on your unforgettable family journey.

Anguilla, St. Barth & Norman Island | March 2026 | Up to 134 Guests

For ocean lovers, this private tall ship cruise will be the celebration of a lifetime. This stunning sailing vessel glides gracefully through island waters — from Anguilla to St. Barth to the serene bays of Norman Island. In between? Time. For meaningful conversations, stunning views, fine dining, and once-in-a-lifetime adventures.

Onboard: polished brass, rich teak, and plenty of space to relax or gather. Cabins feature large windows, warm tones, and understated elegance. Enjoy a grand piano in the lounge, open-air dining, a sun deck beneath the sails, and refreshing swims while anchored in the deep blue sea.
As the sun sets: aperitifs on the aft deck, a long table under the stars, ambient music, and a horizon that etches itself into memory. Then it’s time to raise the sails once again and head to your next destination — custom-crafted by OceanEvent just for you.

St. Maarten, Tortola, Jost Van Dyke | March 2026 | Up to 106 Guests

This journey thrives on variety. One moment, you’re enjoying sunset cocktails in a quiet bay; the next, you’re watching a movie under the stars on deck. One evening, it’s a barefoot beach dinner under string lights. The next day, it’s caviar and champagne served in the sand.

Your ship is refined and spacious, with veranda suites, a large spa, fitness center, and a pool deck that serves as both a daytime hangout and a nighttime stage for music and celebration.

The itinerary includes Martinique, Dominica, and St. Kitts — each stop matched with a program that fits your group’s vibe: from high-energy to completely relaxed. Dive into water sports straight from the marina, visit chic beach clubs, or enjoy sunset dinners under swaying palms.
