1. The FIRM International Cruise Lines
Our cruise operations remain a key growth pillar. In March 2026:
- Voyager 1 Acquisition: We are actively progressing negotiations for the acquisition of two cruise ships. Inspections and due diligence are underway, and we remain committed to achieving a structure that maximises long-term returns for our investors.
- Cabin Sales Update: With strong interest from our investor base, we have received over 135 cabin purchase pledges, representing a substantial portion of available inventory. Our marketing team, led by Jayden, is implementing a multi-phase strategy to further accelerate sales.
- Kingdom Academy Launch: Preparations continue for our onboard Bible College program, Kingdom Academy, designed to mirror the successful model of Charis Bible College. This initiative will provide both educational and operational opportunities for participants, reinforcing the unique value proposition of our cruise experiences.
2. Property & Development Projects
- Port Discovery Brisbane: Our $1.5B mixed-use development remains on track, with key partnerships being formalised. The project is poised to enhance Brisbane’s waterfront and deliver substantial returns for investors.
- Port Discovery Fiji: Feasibility studies and strategic planning are progressing, targeting an International Airport, Cruise Ship Terminal, luxury tourism and lifestyle development in prime coastal location.
3. Strategic Funding & Partnerships
We continue to explore innovative funding structures tailored to the cruise and property sectors. These include creative financing solutions designed to reduce risk and optimise investor returns, while maintaining flexibility for growth initiatives.
4. Investor Engagement
Our commitment to transparency and investor communication remains paramount. We encourage all investors to stay connected via our website and direct communications for updates on cabin sales, project milestones, and new investment opportunities.
We are grateful for your ongoing support and confidence in The FIRM. Together, we continue to build sustainable growth, exciting experiences, and meaningful opportunities across both our cruise and property portfolios.
