Cirque du Soleil proposes a three-pronged strategy of analyzing, negotiating, and expanding by partnering with Royal Caribbean cruise ships to perform resident shows. This would allow Cirque to enter the European market and leverage Royal Caribbean's large theater spaces on its cruise ships. The strategy involves negotiating a deal with Royal Caribbean to produce two new shows and have Cirque perform on two Royal Caribbean ships by 2014. This partnership would provide sustainable growth opportunities for both companies and increased revenues for Cirque du Soleil.
