This is not a backdrop. This is the itinerary.
Rome. Capri. Florence. Pisa. Portofino. Nice. Palma de Mallorca. Barcelona. This trip has the kind of ports people talk about for years.
The FIRE Center part makes it different. You get the cruise, the cities, the dinners, and the room — all moving together for 9 days to build plans and make memories.
The Mastermind.
On the two at-sea days (May 13 and May 18, 9 AM to 1 PM) the FIRE Center runs a working mastermind: speaker sessions from investors who do this for a living, then an interactive block where real deals go on the table. Deal reviews. Hot seats. Actual numbers on actual properties. You leave with next steps, not just notes.
Then every night, the signature FIRE Center ritual: a private group dinner with rotating tables. By Barcelona you will have talked shop with everyone in the room. The rest of every day is yours: the ship, the ports, your family.
Southern California real estate operator and investor. His work spans flips, rentals, creative finance, and property management. Rich built the FIRE Center in 2023 for people who want practical education, honest conversations, and a place to learn the business by doing the work. On this trip he runs the room: the deal reviews, the hot seats, and the conversations that turn a cruise into a partnership.

“Nine dinners with investors who actually do deals. You come home with partners, not business cards.”
Hosted by Rich Rice and the FIRE Center community.
Rich built the FIRE Center for investors who wanted more than another online course. They wanted the room. The relationships. The conversations. The deals. The accountability.
The cruise is an extension of that. Same energy, way better views.
This trip is for you if...
- You want to travel with people who talk about deals, business, and freedom.
- You want your spouse or family to experience real estate investing (maybe without them even knowing it!).
- You want more time with investors outside a normal meetup event setting.
- You like the idea of mixing travel, learning, and networking.
- You've been saying "we should take a big trip" and never actually booking it.
- You want Europe 2027 to not be another thing you almost did.
We've done this before. Mexico. Alaska. Now Europe.
The FIRE Center cruise is not theory. We've already taken this community on the water before.
People showed up for the trip, but what made it stick was the time together. Dinners. Excursions. Conversations. Families. Inside jokes. Business ideas. New friendships. That's the part you can't fake.
“Having the freedom to rest, catch up, and then dive into constant networking and activities made this cruise both rejuvenating and productive—truly the best of both worlds.”
“The networking was top-notch. In a relaxed atmosphere with like-minded people, it was easy to sit for an hour—or longer if we wanted—to dive really deep into a topic.”
“Table talk with different people each night was such a unique and enriching experience. It made every dinner an opportunity to connect and learn from others.”
