Riviera Tour at the NEM Retreat II 2025 vendor meeting

The Riviera Tour's May long weekend was not only in the spirit of group cruises with transport and delegate in Norway and the Mediterranean, but also in the spirit of NEM Retreat II 2025 - MSC Cruises' sales training on board one of the ships.

The retreat took place on the charming ship MSC Splendida from 7.5. - 10.5.2025 and Riviera Tour was represented by 3 delegates. The opening ceremony took place in Barcelona, from where the tour continued to Mallorca, Alicante, until Valencia. During this year's retreat, we had the opportunity to hear a great presentation on innovations related to AI - Artificial Intelligence on the waves with MSC cruises. We will inform you soon what all this innovation will entail, what it will bring and what improvements await our clients.

On the second day we enriched our knowledge with news from the MSC Voyagers Club. During the afternoon we worked in teams with other travel agencies from other countries and had the opportunity to discuss and make recommendations on given topics.

The end of the days were relaxed and there was always an entertainment programme for all participants. A surprise was the Master Chef's competition at sea, more famous was the karaoke that awaited us on the second day, where there was an opportunity to show off your skills from this "business".

The Retreat 2025 ended in style at the "UFO" - a circular disco above the upper pool decks of MSC Splendida, where we said goodbye with great music and dancing led by DJ Angelo Capurro, who most know as the Global CEO of MSC Cruises.

A great highlight of this year's edition was our representation from the Czech Republic. This year it was not only about 3 delegates, but also about 51 other clients who went on the cruise 868 under the leadership of Pavel Číž and delegates Verča and Míša.

Thank you all so much for your preparation and we look forward to Retreat 2026 again next year!
