Phone Camera Class

Perfect for both Apple and Android Users

Our team can teach one, two or even six sessions per cruise. Below is an example of a itinerary requiring five sessions; however, the number of sessions and content can be customize to fit the cruise and the audience. Participants can attend any number of sessions. Although each class can stand on its own, cruisers may enjoy attending several classes building their skills as the trip progresses. Phonetography contests, as well as interactive field trips in port, can be arranged with the speakers as part of the agenda or as one of the sessions. These activities add a truly unique experience to the trip - immersing the guests in the content and engaging them with one another in a fun and unique way.
