THIS IS MORE THAN JUST A CRUISE
FROM CANNES FILM FESTIVAL TO THE CARIBBEAN
Imagine this: you’re sailing through the Caribbean, surrounded by beautiful blue waters, unforgettable destinations, and some of the most creative and inspiring people from around the world.
Screen Odyssey isn’t your typical cruise — and it definitely isn’t your typical industry conference.
Over 7 incredible nights, we’ll journey from Miami to Grand Cayman, Jamaica and the Bahamas, blending the relaxation and excitement of a Caribbean getaway with meaningful opportunities to connect, create and collaborate.
Think inspiring masterclasses in the morning, conversations with filmmakers and industry leaders, screenings at sea, curated networking, destination experiences — and plenty of time in between to enjoy the ship, explore the islands, share a meal, catch a sunset, or simply relax.
Come with a project. Come looking for inspiration. Come ready to meet your next collaborator — or simply come ready for an unforgettable experience.
Because some of the best connections don’t happen inside a conference room. Sometimes they happen over dinner, on an island, or somewhere in the middle of the Caribbean.
This is Screen Odyssey. And we’d love to have you aboard.
