May 11–20, 2027 Rome → Barcelona Celebrity Equinox Cabins from $2,399/person $250 refundable deposit
Deposit is refundable until January 27, 2027.

You can book a cruise anywhere. You can't book this room.

A normal cruise gives you ports, food, and a place to sleep. This gives you Europe with the FIRE Center community.

That means dinners with investors. Conversations with people actually doing deals. Time with Rich outside the normal Wednesday night rhythm. And a trip where your spouse, family, or friends can see the community you've been talking about.

This is not just a vacation. It's a week with the kind of people you want around you more often.

9 days through Italy, France, Spain, and the Mediterranean.

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.

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.

Yes, there will be real FIRE Center programming.

On the at-sea days, we'll meet from 9 AM to 1 PM for FIRE Center conference sessions. That keeps the trip balanced — focused time to learn, talk strategy, and be in the room with other investors. The rest of the day is yours.

Explore the ship. Grab dinner with the group. Spend time with family. Have the conversations that usually only happen in the hallway after an event.

  • Conference sessions on at-sea days
  • 9 AM to 1 PM, two sessions across the trip
  • Nightly group dinners
  • Real estate conversations without being stuck in a hotel ballroom
  • Family-friendly trip

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 people. Same energy. Same practical real estate focus. Just with 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 the FIRE Center community.
  • You want more time with investors outside a normal 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 be more than another thing you almost did.
