Incentive trip on an antique steamboat: a luxurious, timeless experience

Our idea: a steamboat cruise on Lke Como

After reviewing several options, our team at Smart Eventi had an idea for an incentive trip that would provide its participants with a truly memorable experience. After consulting with the client’s team to learn about their needs, we suggested a tour of Lake Como aboard the only steamboat still in operation in the area, complete with original furnishings and interiors from 1926. We wanted to create an experience that would allow the clients to explore Lake Como in a new way—not just as tourists, but as participants in the region’s rich history. We suggested that the client’s employees could enjoy the opportunity to explore the lake from a vantage point while stepping back in time.

The destination

When it comes to incentive travel destinations, few places match the beauty and allure of Lake Como. Located in the Lombardy region of Italy, this stunning lake is surrounded by picturesque mountains, charming villages, and historic sites that make it an ideal location for corporate events and incentive trips. The stunning scenery of the lake itself is a major draw for many visitors of course. Its shimmering waters are surrounded by lush greenery, towering mountains, and quaint, beautiful hamlets dotting the shoreline.

The programme

We welcomed guests with a drink served by waiters dressed in period liveries. During the cruise, participants were able to admire the famous, stunning lakeside villas, while an expert guide described their unique history and architecture. The boat took the group to the beautiful town of Bellagio, which was the next item in our tour.
Bellagio is famous for its stunning natural beauty, historic architecture, and world-class cuisine. The town is situated at the point where the lake splits into two branches, giving visitors stunning views of the surrounding mountains and water. Its narrow streets and alleys are lined with centuries-old buildings, many of which have been beautifully preserved. Another reason why Bellagio is well-known is that it has been featured in numerous films and television shows over the years. Its stunning scenery and historic architecture have made it a popular location for filmmakers.

Finally, to make the trip even more unforgettable, we held a dinner party on a steamboat, with entertainment and music provided by the resident DJ, who played 50s music on vinyl records. Guests were served with a menu that included various international delicacies, as well as alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the incentive trip organized by Smart Eventi was a success. The dedication we poured into location scouting, logistic management and creating a themed catering menu created a unique experience for our guests. We exceeded all expectations and our client was thoroughly satisfied.
