The experience

What this voyage looks like

Our championship voyages run like a proper festival. Day one is the opening flight and a welcome reception on the upper deck. Days two and three carry the main event through its levels while the ship calls at Rottnest and Busselton. The final table plays out in the Sky Lounge on the last evening, streamed to the bar for guests who busted early and stayed for the hospitality.

  • Tournament structures written by our resident directors, with 40-minute levels and a published blind sheet for every flight.
  • Registered dealers, floor staff and chip runners travel with the series, so play stays clean and tables turn over on time.
  • Players and non-playing guests share one itinerary: port calls, dinners and deck receptions are built around the tournament clock.

Three ways to run it

Browse the calendar
Format 01

Three-day coastal series

The standard format. One opening flight, one day two, and a televised-style final table on the closing night.

Format 02

Five-day circuit leg

Two bracelet events plus side tournaments each evening, with a rest day folded around a marquee port call.

Format 03

Corporate invitational

A compressed two-day version for companies that want a championship feel inside a single weekend.

Flow of the evening

From gangway to final hand

A typical running order. Your producer tunes the timing to your charter length and the mood you want in the room.

Sail-away reception

Guests board at Fremantle Passenger Terminal, cards and seat draws go out with the first pour of the evening.

Opening flights

Day one flights run in the main ballroom while the promenade deck hosts a parallel social programme.

Port day and day two

The ship ties up mid-morning, survivors return aboard for the evening session and the bubble plays out at sea.

Final table and awards

The last nine play under lights in the Sky Lounge, followed by the trophy presentation and closing party.

The cleanest structure we have played outside a casino floor. Day two finished on schedule to the minute, which almost never happens.
