Norwegian AquaJanuary 2027Departure BoxStarlink On BoardPeople Who Mean ItNext 6 Months Planned
You have been to the conference in the hotel ballroom. You have done the Zoom mastermind. You have sat in the folding chair under fluorescent lighting and talked about your goals while everyone secretly checked their phones.
This is not that.
This is a Caribbean cruise with people who are serious about their business, serious about their life, and serious about the fact that those two things do not have to live in separate buckets. We are doing the work. We are also in the water.
It doesn’t matter what stage of business you’re in. It doesn’t matter how many revenue streams you have or how long you’ve been at it. If you are ready for a different kind of business experience — one where your business is actually taking you somewhere — you belong on this ship.
Why a week
I thought about three days. I thought about five. And then I thought about the reality: you are going to spend time and money and energy getting to this ship. You might bring people you love. You might cross time zones. If you land and immediately have to pack up and leave, you never actually got there.
Seven days gives your brain a chance to decompress, to open up, to get genuinely receptive to new thinking. Day one you're still checking email. By day three you've stopped. By day five you're having the conversation you've needed to have for six months. That's the point.
For the business
What worked. What didn't. What you're carrying that doesn't belong in the next six months. We do this together, with receipts.
For the next 180
There is something that happens when you say your commitment in a room — or on a deck — with other people who mean it. We leave with a plan and a witness.
For the human
Partners, kids, friends, whoever. Business and life are not separate categories here. Your eleven-year-old is welcome. So are flip flops.
The Inaugural Excursion
I have personally been to Puerto Plata and Great Stirrup Cay. Both are phenomenal. St. Thomas and Tortola are two of the most beautiful islands in the Caribbean — St. Thomas for the beaches and the shopping, Tortola for the raw beauty and the BVI energy. This is not a random itinerary. Four stops, all of them worth getting off the ship for. We just happen to be doing the best business planning of the year while we're there.
Puerto Plata — Dominican Republic
This stop is one of the best-kept secrets on the itinerary. Right as you get off the ship, there is a free beach and lazy river complex waiting for you. No excursion booking required. No upcharge. You walk off and you are in it. I will be in that lazy river for hours. Families, kids, solo travelers — this stop delivers for everyone, and it costs nothing extra.
Great Stirrup Cay — Norwegian's Private Island
Norwegian's private island — and the large pool is free and open to everyone. We were here in June 2026 and it was incredible. The water park was still being finished when we visited, so this January trip will be the first time we get to explore it fully. We are ready.
Norwegian also offers solo cabins — so if you're traveling alone and don't want a roommate or to pay a solo supplement, there are options built specifically for you.
You book your own cruise, your own airfare, your own cabin. I will share my travel agent as a resource — they are exceptional. But nothing travel-related flows through me. You handle it exactly the way you want to handle it.
Let's be clear
A group trip you have to coordinate through Tamsen. You book your own cruise, cabin, and flights directly with Norwegian.
A $50,000 mastermind that requires you to leave your family behind to attend. Bring everyone.
A rigid agenda with back-to-back sessions that make you feel like you're still at the office. The ship has a pool.
A trip for people who are not serious. If you're here, you are showing up to do the work.
A deliberate pause between two six-month commitments, held in a place that makes your brain work better.
A ship full of people who are doing the same thing you are and want to talk about it.
A 60-day lead-up community inside PBK so you know each other before you get on the ship.
A curated departure box that ships to you before you leave — because this is an occasion.
The business experience you have always wanted to go on and nobody has ever thrown.
Why this works
I have been to the conferences where you choose between Track A, Track B, and Track C — and everything you want is scheduled at the same time. That is not this. What we do together will reflect what matters to the specific group of people who are there.
The 60-day window
The pre-trip community is where we zero in on what the group actually needs for the next 180 days. The experience on the ship reflects those answers.
The group size
Twenty people total. You will know everyone's name. You will not have to choose between the cool people — there are not so many that you run out of time to actually connect.
The ship
Food allergies, entertainment preferences, kids who want the waterslide, adults who want the spa — the Norwegian Aqua handles all of it. Boutique group. Full-size ship. Nobody compromises.
The topics
AI and legal and AI will be very hot topics — and I am prepared to go deep on both. But what we create space for will be driven by who is actually there.
A day on The Excursion
There is no agenda handed to you. No schedule that requires you to be somewhere at 8am in business casual. This is co-created by the group. Here are the kinds of things that tend to emerge naturally.
The Norwegian Aqua
Brand new ship, incredible spaces. Watch the ship tour above to understand the vibe before you book.
If you want to be seen
The privacy section below is about protection by default. This is about what's possible when you choose to show up. None of this is on a schedule. None of it is required. But the content that comes out of being in this room — this ship — is the kind you cannot manufacture back home in front of a ring light.
🎙
Participants can be interviewed for Scenic Route and for NP2NYC™. If you have wanted a guest interview and the content that comes with it, this is yours to use in your own publicity.
🎤
If you have a podcast or YouTube channel and would like to interview me, I am available. Legal and AI, NP2NYC™ framework, straight-line sales — bring your angle.
🎬
Real content, real locations, real Caribbean backdrop. Walk away with material you are genuinely excited to use — because it actually looks good.
⚖️
The legal landscape around AI is shifting faster than most people can track. I am an attorney and I am deep in this space. Those conversations are available.
You will leave with things you are genuinely excited to share. None of it manufactured. All of it real.
Something worth saying
I personally have held back from joining masterminds and attending experiences I actually wanted to be part of — because I did not want to end up on someone's social media without choosing it myself. I do not like when a host screenshots my face and tags me to promote their thing. And I know I am not alone in this.
So here is the policy for The Excursion:
No group photos will be posted without your explicit, individual permission.
No identifying pictures or video of attendees will be used in any promotional content.
If you want to share that you're here — on your own channels, in your own way — you are absolutely welcome to do that.
Nobody is sharing it for you without asking first.
This is your experience. You get to decide who knows you were on it.
The calendar
The Excursion happens twice a year — January and July. Both anchor into the larger NP2NYC™ annual rhythm. Action August and Flight February are annual events. The whole system is designed to send you into each one already running.

Ready to board?
Your $397 covers The Excursion — the business planning experience, the departure box, and 60-day pre-trip community access. All travel expenses are yours to arrange directly with Norwegian.
Your host
I am an attorney. I have been building businesses, advising clients, and thinking about legal and business infrastructure for over fifteen years. Everything I have built has been an exercise in blending all facets of who I am — the legal mind, the strategist, the mom, the wife, the educator — into a cohesive, enjoyable whole.
The Excursion exists because I believe your business should take you somewhere. Not metaphorically. Literally. On a ship, in warm water, with people who mean it, planning what the next six months actually look like.
I will be on this ship. I will be in the water. I will also be in the planning sessions. That is not a contradiction. That is the whole point.
Meanwhile, back home
My husband Chris — a public school teacher — gets seasick. He will not be on this ship, and he is genuinely delighted about that. My teenager will be home doing high school hockey. My son Tad, 11, who I am life-schooling, will be my travel pal.
Everyone is doing what is ideal for them. That is not a compromise. That is the design.
Questions
No. The Excursion and The 180 are open to anyone. PBK members will recognize the NP2NYC™ framework we work from, but you do not need to be a member first.
Your $397 covers The Excursion — your participation in the on-board business planning experience, the curated departure box, and 60-day pre-trip community access inside PBK.
The Excursion is not your travel. All travel expenses — cruise fare, cabin, airfare, ground transportation, meals, excursions, gratuities, and anything else related to getting there and being on the ship — are entirely separate and are your responsibility to book and pay directly with Norwegian or your own travel agent.
Yes — and they are encouraged. The cruise is yours to book however you want. Norwegian has activities for kids of all ages. Norwegian also has solo cabin options if you're traveling alone and don't want a roommate or a solo supplement.
The $397 Excursion fee and the travel expenses very likely qualify as business education expenses. As always, consult your accountant. The cruise itself may partially qualify depending on how your trip is structured.
Twice a year — January and July. Once you've been, you get first right of refusal before it opens to anyone new. The group stays small by design.
