Norwegian Cruise Line pulled out all the stops at Vacation.com’s 11th International Conference and Trade Show at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas from June 16-20, 2009 when the Blue Man Group closed the show with a live and exciting performance that had more than 1,100 travel partner attendees on their feet. The blissful party atmosphere created at their live events has become the trademark of a Blue Man Group experience and beginning in the summer of 2010 will be seen for the first time ever at sea only on Norwegian Epic.

Blue Man Group is best known for their wildly popular theatrical shows and concerts which combine music, comedy and multimedia theatrics to produce a totally unique form of entertainment. At Vcom it was no different, in a rousing performance of paint drumming, Blue Man Group created a masterful work of art displaying the Norwegian Epic logo.

Vacation.com, a travel services marketing organization, hosted the four-day long conference that included industry speakers, tradeshow and training sessions, as well as a variety of workshops including Norwegian’s “Selling Groups with Groups 2.0.”
