Here are 11 reasons to join Maggie, one of the nation’s best-known career coaches, on Celebrity Reflection this April 6th for a 6-night voyage through the Western Caribbean. It is time to set sail on the Cruise to Career Happiness.

1. Change the Routine.

No doubt a cruise itinerary changes your routine, but did you know breaking free from your daily routine makes it easier to explore new opportunities?

As Wayne Dyer famously said, “You can’t solve a problem with the same mind that created it.” If you’re seeking change, disrupting the monotony is crucial. 

2. Push Your Comfort Zone.

Boarding a ship and sailing to various ports pushes many of us (especially non-cruisers) out of our comfort zone. And for experienced cruisers, taking an adventurous excursion or even certain cruise activities can give us that push through the comfort zone with a smile.

Such moments foster personal growth and allow us to show new confidence to embrace other life changes, greater changes that go beyond a week at sea.

3. Coaching Is on the Cruise Itinerary.

This is not work, in the sense of the career you are escaping. You will get coaching from Maggie and experience Maggie’s proven Soul Search, Research, then Job Search approach

You’ll also get a specially curated itinerary designed to be fun so that your week-ling adventure aligns you with cruise activities and private group excursions.

The workshops onboard are tailored to guide you toward career clarity, from launching a homework service to exploring entirely new professional paths.

4. Sail with Support.

On this cruise to career, you’ll connect with a supportive group of individuals on the same journey—literally in the same boat!

Sharing experiences with others who understand your struggles can be incredibly reassuring. Plus, the diverse backgrounds of the group members can help expand your professional network.

5.  Have a Holiday with Your Partner.

Remember that you also get to combine a cruise with your partner or even friend, and s/he does not need to partake in the career sessions (just a few hours onboard). Plus, with a partner in a good mood, some conversations are easier to have, and it’s much better to create a new career from a sense of joy rather than lack.

Also, not having your partner in the career sessions will allow you to open up more about your passions and not worry about judgment.

6. Take in the View.

The expansive ocean views encourage you to broaden your perspective and envision new possibilities for your life and career. 

7. Capture Those Career Insights.

We often have career insights or great ideas about what to do next when traveling, but do we capture them or take action? On the Cruise to Career, you will work with a career coach in a few sessions.

Many of my clients have experienced enlightening moments while traveling and on this trip you will capture them and learn how to use them to make changes in your life once you are back on shore. 

8. Enjoy the Ship. 

Being aboard a beautiful ship with exceptional service will inspire you to elevate your expectations for what you want from your career.

9. Network in a New Mindset.

Many job opportunities arise from those you know, and a cruise ship is a great place to meet a variety of individuals. The cruise atmosphere fosters diverse connections from early risers to night owls and avid readers to enthusiastic shoppers.

10. Be(come) Your True Self.

A relaxed version of yourself is your true self, and this ship provides the perfect setting. The Aqua class on the Celebrity Reflection grants exclusive access to the spa throughout the cruise. Imagine how rejuvenated you’ll feel after a week in a spa robe!

11. Fun is the Way.
