1000MTG advisors to ‘Sail into Knowledge’ on Bahamas cruise
Independent travel adviser network 1000 Mile Travel Group (1000MTG) will host a “Sail into Knowledge” professional development cruise next month.
From December 8–12, 2025 advisors will sail on Celebrity Reflection departing from Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
The five-day retreat at sea brings together 34 top travel advisors and their guests alongside sponsors for education and networking.
The themed “Innovations in Travel” program is designed to equip advisors with the latest insights in technology, artificial intelligence, and marketing strategies.
“Sail into Knowledge is about more than education—it’s about providing our advisors with the tools, strategies, and inspiration they need to thrive in our ever-evolving industry,” said Christy Shafer, 1000MTG North America Senior VP & General Manager.
“Equally important, it’s about community, learning from one another, sharing successes, and growing together.”
“By blending professional development with immersive experiences, our advisors not only gain insights from industry leaders but also from their peers.”
Advisors will take part in conference sessions centered on technology and business strategies, with a focus on providing immediately actionable insights.
The cruise also offers networking opportunities, including an opening cocktail reception, specialty dining and a farewell celebration.
In addition to training and networking, advisors and their guests will enjoy behind-the-scenes ship tours led by Celebrity Cruises.
The itinerary also includes free time to explore Nassau and Bimini, Bahamas.
“This event represents our ongoing commitment to invest in the success of our advisor network,” said Nicola Veltman, 1000MTG CEO.
“By combining intensive learning with luxury and leisure, the cruise creates a unique environment that goes beyond traditional conferences”.
We deeply value our supplier partnerships and are grateful for their continued support and investment in our advisors.
As well as Celebrity , event sponsors include Delta Air Lines, Delta Vacations, Silversea, Virtuoso, Globus Family of Brands, and Hilton,
It comes on the heels of a standout year for the group, with 40% of North American advisors growing their businesses by 50% or more in the past 12 months.
