Cannes Lions: Celebrating Creative Excellence

The Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity is the most important event in the global advertising and creative communications calendar. The 74th edition takes place from 21 to 25 June 2027 at the Palais des Festivals in Cannes, transforming the French Riviera into a vibrant hub of ideas, networking and celebration.

A Global Stage for Creativity

At its heart, Cannes Lions celebrates the ideas and campaigns that shape the future of marketing. Each year, the world's leading agencies, brands and creative talent compete for the prestigious Lions awards across categories spanning film, digital, design, audio, outdoor and creative effectiveness, reflecting both traditional and emerging platforms.

More Than an Awards Show

Beyond the awards, Cannes Lions offers a packed programme of keynote speeches, panel discussions, workshops and masterclasses led by industry leaders. The festival also hosts dedicated programmes such as LIONS B2B, a one-day summit for senior B2B marketers taking place on 22 June 2027. For many attendees, the networking opportunities are just as valuable as the content on stage.

The Cannes Lions Yacht Experience

Chartering a luxury yacht is one of the most effective ways to experience Cannes Lions. Moored in Cannes, a private yacht provides a calm retreat from the busy festival, a stylish venue for client meetings and entertaining, and a memorable setting for drinks receptions, dinners and parties.

Many agencies and brands use yachts as private hospitality spaces throughout the festival week, hosting guests away from the crowds of the Croisette. Between sessions, guests can also enjoy the beauty of the French Riviera from the water.

A Global Gathering

Cannes Lions brings together creatives, marketers, technologists and business leaders from around the world. This international mix makes the festival a powerful platform for new partnerships, collaborations and ideas that influence the industry throughout the year ahead.

Young Lions Competitions

Cannes Lions also champions the next generation of talent. The Young Lions Competitions give emerging creatives the chance to work on real briefs on a global stage, helping to launch the careers of tomorrow's industry leaders.

Beyond the Croisette

While the main programme takes place at the Palais des Festivals, the whole of Cannes comes alive during festival week. Beachside talks, brand activations and exclusive parties take place across the town, making it one of the most exciting weeks of the year on the Riviera.

Planning Your Cannes Lions Yacht Charter

Demand for yachts in Cannes is high during festival week, and berths close to the Palais des Festivals are limited. We recommend booking as early as possible to secure the right yacht and position. Consider how many guests you plan to host, whether you need the yacht for meetings, events or accommodation, and whether you would like to extend your stay along the Riviera.

Cannes Lions Yacht Charter Options

Cannes Lions yacht charters can be tailored to suit every type of guest list and budget. A sleek motor yacht in Port Pierre Canto or the Vieux Port offers easy access to the Palais des Festivals, while a larger superyacht anchored in the bay provides extra privacy, sun decks and space for evening receptions. Day charters are ideal for client lunches or a sunset cruise to the Lérins Islands, and full-week charters give your team a private floating base with accommodation, meeting areas and a professional crew on hand throughout the festival. Whatever the occasion, your yacht becomes a natural extension of your brand during the busiest week in the creative calendar.
