PARADISE CHARTER CRUISES | Not Your Typical Event Center!


Trade the boardroom for the water. Host your next corporate event, team outing, or nonprofit celebration on Lake Minnetonka or the Mississippi River with a high-energy experience your team will actually remember!

Most corporate events happen in the same place: conference rooms, hotel ballrooms, and offices. People show up, sit down, and check the clock.

We built something different!

Paradise Charter Cruises helps companies turn events into experiences. Instead of another boardroom meeting, your team gets fresh air, movement, conversation, and a setting that naturally brings people together.

Here’s why event planners choose a cruise instead of a traditional venue:

First: People actually engage.
When your team is on the water, they’re not staring at a screen. They’re talking, connecting, celebrating, and enjoying the moment together.

Second: It feels like a reward, not another meeting.
Employee appreciation events, leadership retreats, company celebrations, and nonprofit gatherings instantly feel more special when they’re hosted on a boat.

Third: It’s easy to plan.
We host groups of all sizes and help coordinate the details so your event runs smoothly. From boarding to timing to food and beverage options.

Groups can cruise on scenic Lake Minnetonka or experience the energy of the Mississippi River aboard The Minneapolis Queen. Both create a memorable backdrop for networking, team building, client entertainment, or milestone celebrations.

Popular events we host include:

  • Corporate team building outings
  • Employee appreciation events
  • Client entertainment
  • Nonprofit celebrations and fundraisers
  • Company milestone parties
  • Leadership retreats

If you’re planning an event and want it to stand out (and actually be talked about afterward), the water changes everything.

Your team deserves more than another boardroom. Let’s build an event they’ll remember.
