Built in 2015, the Escape has many significant enhancements over our previously chartered ship, allowing the Summit community to learn, explore, and connect with each other in new, dynamic ways.

These enhancements include:

• Expanded common areas for more intimate gatherings

• A higher ratio of estate rooms with balconies and ocean views

• Additional specialty restaurants to accommodate our new culinary program

• Superior production capabilities for content sessions

Welcoming Jeffrey Zurofsky

Jeffrey Zurofsky has sourced the highest-quality, grass-fed, humane, and antibiotic- and hormone-free ingredients for our voyage. It's the first time a chartered ship has independently purchased the food for an event.

Guest chef program

In addition, Summit will launch a guest chef program on the ship. Talented chefs, restaurateurs, and mixologists will take over all of the eateries and pop-up experiences aboard the ship and on the island.

This alteration to our overall program allows us to host multiple talks and performances by the speakers and performers who have the highest demand. 

In turn, we are committed to ensuring that every attendee has the opportunity to participate in the activities and sessions of their choosing.
