When Amway Korea partnered with Business Events Sydney to organise their Diamond Incentive trip to reward top-performing direct sellers, 619 delegates and staff arrived for a program of Sydney’s unforgettable experiences. A key highlight was the Clearview Lunch Cruises, enjoyed by the eight groups across eight departures over the six-day itinerary.
The popular 2hr 45min cruise provided the groups with an ideal setting to capture photos of Sydney’s iconic tourist attractions, such as the Opera House, Harbour Bridge and Luna Park, and to connect and network with other delegates.
As Sydney’s only multi-level glass boat lunch cruise, the modern and stylish venue delivers panoramic views of the harbour from its floor-to-ceiling glass windows and open Sky Deck. The air-conditioned vessel keeps guests comfortable from the summer sunshine to winter’s light chill.
Following the overall success of the incentive program, Business Events Sydney asked Yeonsil Park, Event Associate Manager at Amway Korea Ltd, to name the highlight of the delegates’ experience in Sydney:
“We had an exclusive lunch cruise on Clearview Sydney Harbour Cruises upon arrival, showcasing beautiful Sydney Harbour to the guests, which gave a great first impression of the city. I would like to recommend the Clearview Sydney Harbour Cruise experience to anyone looking for a luxury program.”
The all-inclusive lunch package provides ease of planning for event organisers. The deluxe menu is prepared on board by a skilled team of chefs and custom menus can be crafted for charter groups to best suit the occasion.
Amway groups were treated to a quintessential Sydney dining experience with their entrée seafood platter. Buffet selections of gourmet salads satisfy the varied tastes of larger groups, with plenty of fresh flavours and substantial dishes to choose from. Opt for an alternate drop of the main course and select meals such as the roasted Chicken Supreme and oven-baked fish of the day.
The one-bite canapé style desserts enjoyed by the Amway group encouraged mingling between guests and brought a touch of local flair by incorporating seasonal flavours. The drinks menu showcases an impressive collection of Australian wine producers, as well as local beers, cocktails and non-alcoholic beverages.
With capacity for up to 450 guests on a private charter, or the option to hire a private deck, small or large incentive and convention groups can be comfortably accommodated. The cruise’s departure from King Street Wharf is conveniently located in Sydney’s CBD, nearby to an extensive selection of renowned hotel chains. Plenty of coach parking along the wharf provides easy access to the cruise.
Drawing on close to 10 years of coordinating events on the vessel, the events team are well-versed in delivering memorable occasions. A stage, wireless microphones and LCD screens can be included in event programs to aid presentations.
“Sydney is the perfect incentive trip destination where you can build programs in many different styles,” Yeonsil said.
“We selected Sydney among many Australian cities because of its connectivity from Seoul, Sydney’s abundance in resources and accessibility, and it's a popular and most requested tourist destination.”
