We really wanted to make this year’s Europe Leadership Conference something very special. An event that would truly show the Sunrider Lifestyle! After discussing it last year with Mrs. Chen, we both agreed that a Mediterranean cruise would be the way to sail, as we could enjoy the beauty of the Mediterranean coastline and countryside.
No other part of the world is so richly imbued with history and culture, and blessed with such spectacular scenery as Europe. The cruise vacation brought us to some of the most exciting ports in Europe. The days ashore presented an invitation to adventure, education, and enjoyment, discovering the beauty of the Mediterranean and over 25 centuries of history, art and culture. Some of the IBOs had never been on a cruise and were not sure about the idea, but on the last day, I was so happy when so many came to see me to say that the cruise was amazing and that they had already called their downline to let them know what they had missed!

The first port: Provence (Marseille), France. Some of the IBOs went on a city tour that was a journey through the historical and maritime past of Marseille, known as the melting pot of Europe. They passed Marseille's large industrial harbor after departing the pier and headed towards the city center. En route to the Notre-Dame de la Garde Cathedral, they viewed the historic, older section of the city. Notre-Dame de la Garde is a beautiful basilica set high atop the hills above the Old Harbor, and its interior is finished with multicoloured marble mosaics. The journey from the Cathedral to Longchamp Palace took them along a road that runs alongside the sea with a stop to take photos and to view the beautiful islands guarding the entrance to Marseille. The final stop was at Longchamp Palace, a monumental castle adorned with magnificent fountains, waterfalls and gardens.
The second port: Cagliari, Sardinia. Some IBOs went on a sightseeing tour that allowed them to discover the hidden beauties of this magnificent city. It began with a drive from the pier to the city walls where they admired the Roman amphitheatre. Then they visited the National Archaeology Museum to discover many archaeological finds like the typical Sardinian small bronzes and the Nora Stone (ninth century B.C.), where Sardinia is mentioned for the first time. They also walked in the heart of the medieval city and explored its beauty.
The third port: Palermo, Sicily. Italy, probably the most beautiful country (my Italian roots might be affecting my judgment). Palermo was named by the Ancient Greeks as “Panormus,” meaning “all port.” Its beauty, history and elegance were revealed as some of the IBOs decided to travel the streets of Palermo. The city is noted for its rich history, culture, architecture and gastronomy, which played an important role throughout much of its existence; it is over 2,700 years old! They walked along the Via Liberta, considered to be the most important street in the city because of its size and the double row of plane trees that line this majestic way. They admired Teatro Politeama, the main theatre of the town built in the 19th century and strolled along the Via Ruggero Settimo, also known as the salon of Palermo because of the elegance of its shops. What an experience!
It was such an exciting week that I forgot to mention that the conference, hosted by Drs. Chen, was held onboard the impressive ship “Navigator of the Seas.” Over 270 Independent Business Owners from all over Europe, Hungary, Israel, Russia and South Africa enjoyed the Sunrider Lifestyle while sailing through the deep blue Mediterranean Sea.
The Navigator of the Seas is one of the biggest vessels in the world, with so much to see and do onboard. She offers amazing features like a spa, gym, rock-climbing wall, ice-skating rink, an indoor shopping mall-like promenade, as well as fine food in the magnificent three-storey dining room. Every night finishes off with top-class entertainment in the elegant theatre.
The Leadership Conference meetings were held in the ship’s Conference Centre and provided attendees with inspiration and motivation. Dr. Chen shared his powerful Business Advice by explaining the 4-step Sunrider approach and the 6-point opportunity meeting. He reminded everyone to train their Downlines in this method, to practice the various steps with them and to talk about the income potential that Sunrider can bring to every Independent Business Owner. Sunrider has already helped many people around the world achieve their optimal goals.* Mrs. Chen followed with her special energy and enthusiasm as she conducted the New IBO Training and tested the Business Leaders on Frequently Asked Questions. Drs. Chen also presented new products that will be launched at the upcoming Grand Convention in Anaheim, California. Mrs. Chen ended the meeting by surprising everyone with a raffle where happy winners received samples of the innovative new products.
It truly was a memorable week and another example of how Sunriders from all over the world can enjoy the fantastic Sunrider lifestyle and optimize their lives.*
Next is the event of the year—the Grand Convention in Anaheim, California!
Come and join thousands of other IBOs for another unforgettable experience. Register on-line and mark your calendars, July 21–26.
Looking forward to seeing you in beautiful Anaheim, California!
