Welcome - PESI 6-Night Caribbean Grief November 2026

Are you dreaming of a vacation but worry about stepping away from your practice?

What if you could build your confidence in treating grieving clients and even become eligible to become a Certified Grief Informed Professional (CGP) – all while on a dream vacation and making new memories with your loved ones?

Picture yourself on deck, enjoying a beverage, and soaking in the tropical air while watching the sunset on the horizon. The glitter of the blue Caribbean Waters meets your eyes while you enjoy a tasty snack from one of the many bars or restaurants available on board.

Just when you think this experience can’t get any more blissful, the ship docks at one of the many magical ports-of-call – like the island paradise of Cozumel, Mexico, offering Mayan Ruins and rich cultural history. Or perhaps the upscale restaurants and boutiques of Grand Cayman suit your fancy. Maybe the pristine blue waters and snorkeling in Bimini, Bahamas is your calling… there’s a little something for everyone!

With all these fantastic adventures, it’s hard to believe you’ll be gaining professional training and certification at the same time. But that’s the incredible part – you can! Learn to walk alongside clients, build their resilience, and guide them towards post-traumatic growth, plus become eligible for certification, all while surrounded by loved ones, colleagues, natural scenic beauty, and endless entertainment.

Embark on an unforgettable 6-night journey through the Caribbean aboard the luxurious Celebrity Silhouette cruise ship and enjoy the Lawn Club, a grassy outdoor area on one of the ship’s top decks, grab a luxury cocktail at the Sunset Bar, or treat yourself and your partner to an elegant meal at one of the many amazing restaurants on board after a day at the Spa & Persian Garden. Once you’ve got your sea legs, attend a show at the theatre, enjoy a dip in the adults-only Solarium pool, or treat yourself to some shopping at The Shops on the Boulevard!

There’s never been a better or easier way to relax in style while earning CE Hours.
