The Code: At Sea is a curated seven-day experience for models, creators, influencers, and anyone else who wants to strengthen their confidence, sharpen how they show up on camera, and build meaningful connections.
The experience takes place aboard a cruise ship that serves as a coordinated venue that integrates workshops, coaching, guided content creation, and destination access into a structured week.
Everything is designed to remove the friction of planning and self‑production so participants can focus on learning, creating, and progressing within a supportive group environment.
You’ll be surrounded by a mix of creatives at different stages, along with a carefully selected team of industry professionals.
Our team includes a model coach, a casting director, a photographer, and a videographer. They are all there to guide, support, and help you improve in real time.
You’ll also be connecting with other models, creators, influencers, and brand ambassadors who are all looking to grow, create, and build within the same space.
Our event is best suited for those who value guidance and structure over self‑planning. It’s designed to feel collaborative, not competitive. So whether you’re just starting out or already have experience, you’ll be in an environment where everyone is building together.
You’ll leave with memories, clarity, usable and tangible assets, and a stronger ability to move forward without second‑guessing yourself.

This experience is designed to meet you where you are, and allow you to step into a structured environment that removes friction and helps you move forward with confidence.
Cabins start at $2,000 per person, and depend on the cabin type and occupancy selected. Details on the pricing for each room type can be found here.
Our team will pair you with another workshop participant if you choose a double occupancy option (or you can let us know if you have a companion in mind). If you choose single occupancy and pay the single supplement, you will have a room to yourself.
You are investing in a multi-layered experience designed to combine travel, coaching, and content creation all in one experience.
You will benefit from a curated experience layered on top of the sailing. That includes structured programming, coordinated destination sessions, private onboard photography, and a guided flow that removes the usual decision‑making and setup work.
The Code: At Sea brings together professional coaching, exclusive access, and a full sailing into one integrated experience, allowing you to focus on how you show up, what you create, and who you are connected to after the trip.

We will sail the Carnival Celebration departing from Miami on January 3, 2027 and returning on January 10, 2027.
The itinerary is as follows:
Note: Please book return flights on Sunday, January 10, departing from MIA no earlier than 12 pm (i.e. noon or later) and from FLL no earlier than 1 pm (i.e. 1 pm or later).
Standard cruise offerings such as meals, beverages, and onboard entertainment are also included as part of the sailing.
Content creation is intentionally built into the experience, with multiple opportunities to be photographed and filmed in different settings throughout the week.
Each participant will have access to a dedicated photoshoot at the onboard Dreams studio, along with additional guided content moments throughout the trip.
Because this is a group-based experience, camera time and output may vary based on individual participation, comfort level, and how the content is used after the trip. Specific quantities of images are not guaranteed. Our focus is on giving you multiple chances to create usable raw assets, increase camera awareness, and leave with a clearer understanding of how you show up visually across a variety of environments.
Here are some video tours for the different cabin types on the Carnival Celebration:
The videos primarily show a king bed, but bedding can be configured as either one king or two twin beds.

Grace Period - Once your initial payment/retainer is received, we offer a 48-hour grace period, when you may cancel for a refund. After 48 hours, all payments become fully non-refundable because we must comply with the policies related to our block of cabins.

Cabin Availability - If you reserve an ocean view or balcony stateroom and the room type cannot be accommodated, any amount paid that exceeds the price of the room assigned will be refunded.
When we receive your retainer, we will begin preparing your booking agreement, securing your cabin, reserving your photo session, and preparing your welcome package. Therefore, no refunds will be provided under any other circumstances after the 48 hour grace period, including but not limited to the following:
Option to Transfer - While all cruise reservations are nonrefundable, if you are unable to attend, you may have the option to:
