Business Hospitality Package

After a full day of meetings and formal client interaction business travelers seek something which represents the region they are in. Something of a local flavor, something to remember besides names and dates. Working together we can bring this level of experience to your guests.

Once the meetings have concluded a motor coach can pick up the guests and bring them to the door of the Mystère. Once aboard they can relax, enjoy the views and experience exceptional service. After the cruise, the motor coach will return the guests to their hotel for the night. If an evening is not the best time for an excursion perhaps an afternoon tour, or a Sunday brunch is the answer. If the guest is traveling to the area on their own, it is a simple and easy trip to the Mystère where they can unwind and rejuvenate while enjoying some of the finest scenery in the region.

Seaway Navigation And Tours, Ltd specializes in personalized services. If there is something you desire for that special event with family, friends or business occasions just let know and we will be glad to create an occasion like no other.
