With its 2025 National Conference just months away, Dream Vacations and CruiseOne disclosed details about its 2026 conference, which is scheduled for Nov. 1-8 aboard Royal Caribbean’s Star of the Seas out of Port Canaveral, Fla.

“Our annual conference is more than just a meeting – it’s an immersive experience that blends education, networking and unforgettable moments,” said Drew Daly, senior vice president and general manager of Dream Vacations and CruiseOne.

“In 2026, we’ll make history as the first industry conference to take place on an Icon Class ship, the Star of the Seas.”

The itinerary will call at Perfect Day at CocoCay, Royal Caribbean's private island, and St. Thomas, roundtrip from Port Canaveral.

The conference will offer a variety of general sessions, workshops and networking events tailored for advisors of all experience levels.

“Attendees will benefit from direct engagement with cruise line and land vacation suppliers, hands-on training, and exclusive previews of upcoming products and programs,” Dreams Vacations and CruiseOne said.

The event will also include themed parties and activities to raise funds for the Make-A-Wish Foundation, which, over a 14-year period, Dreams Vacations and CruiseOne have raised almost $2 million to help make wishes come true for critically ill children.

“We’re thrilled that the 2026 Dream Vacations/CruiseOne National Conference will take place onboard the Star of the Seas, marking the first industry event on an Icon Class ship,” said Vicki Freed, senior vice president, sales, trade support and service at Royal Caribbean International.

The Dreams Vacations and CruiseOne 2025 National Conference is scheduled for Nov. 9-15 in Fort Lauderdale Nov. 9-15, with participants embarking Princess Cruises’ Star Princess Nov. 10-15.
