ONBOARD STAFF, ASSISTANTS AND HOSTS- Sea Conferences has an elite team of experienced event assistants that may be added to any event. The larger the event, the more staff we bring. Our staff acts as Assistant Producers, Hosts, and Hostesses, Greeters, Runners and more. Often we will assign an experienced staff member to solely be responsible as the liaison between the company CEO’s/VIP’s and our staff, thus ensuring their every need is met.
“It is my pleasure to recommend Shauna Hoffman as a Speaker and
Onboard Cruise Producer. Royal Caribbean has partnered with Shauna
for over twelve years in the theme cruise division. With her vast
knowledge and experience working behind the scenes with our ship’s
staff to ensure a quality experience for the guests, Shauna has
demonstrated consistent successful programs. Shauna is creative and
we are always excited to see what new and visionary ideas she brings
to the table. Whether aboard our ships or in our offices, Shauna has
built valuable relationships that will benefit all of her future
Corporate Clients.”

In the world of Group Travel a smart agency is constantly reinventing itself to be at the top of the game. Whodunit Productions started as a mystery theme cruise company in 1991 that began in Los Angeles and then ended up creating mystery cruises all over the world. Our groups averaged 400 guests and we sailed on average of every 5 to 6 weeks. As the industry changed Whodunit changed with it. Always on the search for new and exciting groups that no one else was doing we moved into Steampunk Cruises when Steampunk was the biggest new genre. We were unbelievably honored when we hit the front page of the Sunday NY Times Travel Section.

Out of the Steampunk Cruises was born our Website, SeaConferences.com. We started to promote large group conferences to the writer’s market, podcast market, speaker’s bureaus and corporations. Since 2014 we have produced the Writing Excuses Annual Conference at Sea for NY Times Best seller Brandon Sanderson and The SciFi Writers of America Award Winner, Mary Robinette Kowal. We have done European cruises, and Caribbean Cruises for them averaging 150-250 guests on every sailing. An offshoot of that conference is the Canadian Surrey International Writers Conference of which we created cruises for in 2018 and 2020.
We were beyond honored to create groups for Private Schools that wanted teenagers to learn what life was like in another country. The school groups and our “luxury art and culture tour groups to Cuba” were promoted from another one of our websites, CruisingToCuba.com. Our passion for Cuba and the Cuban people will bring us back one day.
Whodunit Productions Inc is dedicated to giving creative artists, writers and speakers, corporate leaders the ability to expand their creative juices while being inspired by world travel and the sites and sounds of other cultures. But most of all we have come to realize that we need to always be able to change our travel focus to match the trends of the day. Always using our expertise in group travel and our passion for traveling the world. We have created gaming cruises for Dungeon and Dragons Masters and we are excited to partner with the founder of the L.A. Times Book Club for the launch of Bound For Adventures Book Club At Sea.
