So who IS This Guy?
There was a time when former Cruise Director, Robert Landau, found himself smack in the middle of a life or death situation. In fact, “the end” seemed as if it was only moments away!
Really?
Yup! His cruise ship had just broke loose from the pier in Bermuda during a fierce hurricane, slammed into a rock, and was starting to tip dangerously to one side.
That sounds kind of familiar…
Well yes, and no! This wasn’t the Costa Concordia but Robert has an astounding personal connection to that tragedy as well that recently got him a special guest expert spot on the HLN/CNN Worldwide Cable News Network.
That’s kind of cool!
I’m telling you! Having narrowly survived a number of harrowing ordeals at sea, Robert Landau now shares priceless real-life information to College and University audiences nationwide on what to do when your ship hits a rock. Landau offers life-changing tools that allowed him to weather any storm at sea…and land as well!
So what does that mean to me?
If he can do it, anyone can do it! And it’s so much more fun and easier than you think!
OK, so why should I hire this guy to speak at my campus?

- You Are the Captain of Your Ship! – The Keynote Cruise
- You Are the Captain of Your Ship! – The Student Leader Cruise
What the heck is going on here? Are these real cruises?
Good question! It’s not like everyone is going to actually sail on a real cruise ship, but it’s truly the next best thing. These are three versions (“cruises”) of Robert’s presentations that are specially created for the specific audience mentioned above.
So what’s the big deal?
Everything! By taking students on a figurative cruise without ever leaving your campus, they’ll experience and resolve specific challenges along the way in the various ports of call and onboard activities Robert creates. Students will have everything they need to succeed.
Sounds cool but how does Robert do this?
Depending on your specific needs, Robert uses material and tools based on his experiences as a Cruise Director for over 9 years. In one hour to full day formats, Robert wows your crowd, be it in numbers of 30 to 3,000. No one else does it like this!
What’s the benefit here?
Your students leave Robert’s presentations exhilarated, motivated and in possession of what it takes to make their time on campus (and beyond) a raging success!
OK, I get it but are these just dull lecture presentations? How is this different?
If you think Robert’s presentations are dull, boy have you got another thing coming! Students will totally feel as if they have taken a cruise. How cool is that! They’ll experience all the fun of a cruise as Robert uses his years of being a Cruise Director to get everyone involved. The event turns into nothing but learning through activities and fun galore! Students soon realize that this cruise is unlike any other they’ll ever have the opportunity to take. It’s not only a life-changing cruise…but it’s a cruise of a lifetime as well!
Can Robert customize his cruise experiences for my particular student audience needs?
You bet! Robert creates a cruise specifically based on your needs. What are your goals for a presentation? What do you expect the end result to be? Robert includes every bit of that in a new, unique and innovative way!
So how do the individual presentation topics accomplish all of this?
As a Cruise Director, Robert spent years making sure his passengers had the fun they were expecting to get out of each and every cruise they took. If they didn’t get their money’s worth and come back, he wouldn’t have lasted a single cruise season. Making sure everyone gets what they paid for is what Cruise Directing is all about. Robert makes sure he does the same for you and your student audience.

“Robert Landau’s presentation, ‘You Are the Captain of Your Ship’ is a natural high that transports students onto a magical and imaginative cruise ship for colorful adventures of challenge and change.
Landau draws on his experiences as a trained actor, former cruise director and personal coach to take students away from usual classroom tedium and cleverly create treacherous high seas, exotic ports of call and uncanny adventures that tickle their creativity, probe problem solving and encourage critical thinking skills.
Landau is a masterful craftsman at story telling, weaving fantasy with reality to provide students with tools for creating positive affirmations to create a healthy lifestyle of autonomy, self-esteem, and self worth. Indeed, he convinces and provides tools assuring them that they are indeed, the Captain of their ships!”
