✨ The MICE Boat Show 2026 - your exclusive experience on board Transcend Cruises
A Monday you will never forget.
On September 28, 2026, the brand-new Transcend Cruiseswill open its doors for an event that will make history in the MICE world. This ship is no ordinary venue—it is the first of its kind, designed and built solely for events. Not a classic cruise ship, but a floating concept for meetings, incentives, conferences, and exhibitions.
The setting alone is spectacular: instead of exhibition halls or conference centers, you can expect an atmosphere that combines exclusivity, design, and innovation. Transcend Cruises offers you five state-of-the-art event spaces, flexible breakout areas, and spacious outdoor decks with views of the river. Add to that the latest technology, boutique design, and culinary highlights that make every moment special.
Precisely because the date is in the middle of the high season, it is worth deliberately keeping this Monday free: At the MICE Boat Show, you will meet the most important suppliers and exhibitors in the industry - concentrated, personal and without wastage. It's not about masses, but about real encounters, valuable discussions and new ideas for your future events.
And best of all: by taking part, you will be part of a premiere. The Transcend will not be launched until April 2026, and the MICE Boat Show will be one of the very first events on board. This will secure you a front row seat - on a ship that is the prelude to an entire fleet of six newbuilds that will write event history on European rivers over the next few years.
Exclusivity on the water. Inspiration in the river. Contacts that last.
