The Art of the ASK brings a first-of-its-kind transformational cruise retreat to high-performing CEOs and entrepreneurs this April
What happens when you take the stuffy conference room out of the executive retreat equation and replace it with the open sea, world-class speakers, and a luxury adults-only cruise ship? LuxeStyle Travel is betting the answer is something the business world has never quite seen before.
The Miami-based luxury travel company has officially launched The Art of the ASK, a 5-night transformational cruise retreat set to sail April 10–15, 2026 aboard Virgin Voyages — and it’s already turning heads in entrepreneurial circles.
The retreat is designed squarely for the kind of professional who has climbed the ladder but knows something is still missing. Founders, CEOs, scaling entrepreneurs, and C-suite executives make up the target audience, with the event’s curated itinerary touching three pillars that don’t often share the same stage: Money, Mindset, and Intimacy.
“This isn’t your standard conference with a cocktail hour tacked on,” said Tamoy Thelwell, CEO and Founder of LuxeStyle Travel and Travfluence, who is also among the event’s featured speakers. The experience is built around what organizers describe as a “seamless, opt-in” philosophy — workshops, fireside chats, and intimate dinners woven directly into the fabric of the cruise lifestyle, rather than interrupting it.
The voyage follows Virgin Voyages’ Dominican Daze itinerary, with stops at Puerto Plata and the Bimini Beach Club providing the kind of backdrop that makes difficult conversations about growth, identity, and leadership feel a little more human.
The speaker lineup is where things get particularly interesting. Dr. Ashley Alderette, a Clinical Psychologist and Executive Performance Strategist, will bring neuroscience and somatic psychology into conversations about how leaders perform under pressure. Dr. Ty Richardson, a serial entrepreneur and Ph.D.-holding leadership coach, anchors his sessions in a strengths-based philosophy that connects individual talent to measurable business results. Pierre Smith — better known as “Paperless Pierre” — brings enterprise-grade systems thinking to help leaders eliminate operational drag and scale with clarity.
Rounding out the roster is Colleen Ambrose, fitness and confidence coach “Coach Coco,” who makes the case that physical health isn’t separate from business performance — it’s the foundation of it.
For brands looking to reach an elite and highly engaged audience, the event is offering a limited number of partnership tiers, ranging from Community Builder to the exclusive Cruise Concierge Partner level. Unlike traditional event sponsorships, these integrations are built into the experience itself rather than slapped on a banner in a breakout room.
With Virgin Voyages on board as the official Hosting Partner and additional brand collaborations in the wellness, luxury lifestyle, and business services spaces being finalized, the event is shaping up to be a genuine market entry moment for LuxeStyle Travel at the intersection of luxury and professional development.
Seats are limited and the April 10th sail date is approaching fast. Media inquiries, partnership interest, and speaker interview requests can be directed to Noah Love Associates at info@grl-partners.com or noah@noahloveassociates.com.
Sometimes the boldest business moves happen far from the office — and apparently, miles off the coast.
