There are only 213 days left until 407 Week 2025…but who’s counting? It’s me, I’m definitely counting.
407 Week is an annual celebration for team members (travel agents, media team, and even the owner!) at 407&Beyond Vacation Co. It is an opportunity for our “family” to get together to grow bonds, build relationships, and meet new team members. 407 Week has been at Walt Disney World for the past two years, but next year we’re venturing somewhere new…
That’s right! We are headed to the high seas onboard Royal Caribbean’s new ship, Utopia of the Seas. And in 2025, our celebration kicks off on 4/07! I could not be more excited, and I can’t wait for all the fun that’s in store.
The first thing I am excited to do is see all of the lovely people I met at last year’s event. Everyone that I met was outgoing, welcoming, and simply – fun! I laughed so much at 407 Week and enjoyed every moment with each person I met. Our team is truly the best and feels like family. We have a strong sense of community, and we build meaningful relationships here at 407&Beyond. There’s no doubt about that! There are agents coming to the 2025 celebration that I did not get to meet last year (including current and new), so I am thrilled to finally meet them in person. And what better place than on a cruise ship?
Speaking of cruise ship…Royal Caribbean’s new Utopia of the Seas is quite a beauty, and I cannot wait to be onboard. I have never been on a cruise ship as large as Utopia, and I’m sure she will be even more spectacular in person. The ship has 5 pools, 8 hot tubs, 3 waterslides, 21 dining venues, 23 bars, and 2 casinos. I mean…is there anything Utopia of the Seas doesn’t have? I know some of our agents attending 407 Week 2025 have been onboard Royal Caribbean’s ships, so I know I’ll be surrounded by people who know how to easily navigate the ship and all it has to offer. There’s not a better group of people to be traveling with!
The part I’m most excited about for the cruise is Perfect Day at CocoCay! Every Utopia of the Seas sailing travels to CocoCay, a beautiful private island in the Bahamas. To me, the ocean water in the Bahamas is unlike anything else. It is crystal clear, and the sandy beaches are amazing. If relaxing on the beach isn’t your thing, there are so many other activities to do on the island – 14 waterslides, 18 bars, 9 dining locations, 5 pools, 116 cabanas, and even a zipline! I can’t wait to venture onto this island!
The last reason I can’t wait for the trip is…inspiration! Anytime I travel, I feel more creative and inspired than I do at home. It’s a wonderful feeling to be able to be inspired about something that you work with – for me, that’s the travel industry! I know this trip will keep me motivated and inspire me even further to be passionate about anything that I do. I’m sure that our travel agents feel the same way. We enjoy being a part of something that inspires us and simply, something we love! I am so ready to celebrate with my “family” next year at 407 Week. It is going to be an absolute blast!
If you’re passionate about travel and have thought about becoming a travel agent, do some research and consider applying to be a part of the 407&Beyond Vacation Co. team! We are always looking for new, highly motivated and passionate individuals to add to our family.
