Win tickets to the UK's first ever Cruise show

Travelmole subscribers are being offered 20 pairs of free tickets to the UK's first Cruise exhibition in London in March.

CRUISE, sponsored by the Daily Telegraph, is the UK’s first consumer travel show dedicated to the cruise market and takes place at Excel on March 21-22.

ACE - the Association of Cruise Experts - will be at the show to give agents practical advice and share the latest trends in cruising.

Agents are invited to attend an ACE Expo to hear from industry experts and guest speakers on current and future trends, new products, ships and destinations.

ACE director Andy Harmer said: "This will provide agents, including those new to cruise, with an exceptional opportunity to gain essential help and knowledge on selling cruise in a changing market place together with the time to meet the cruise lines and travel organisers attending the Cruise Show.

"We will also be taking the ACE Expos to cities across the UK and Ireland in 2009 and we have recently announced that the next ACE UK Cruise Convention will take place in Dover.

"All these events provide great opportunities for agents to grow their cruise business."

To win tickets to the show, send in a comment to Travelmole.com sharing your opinion of the cruise market in 2009. Deadline is today (January 30).

Are bookings strong? Which sector of the cruise market is doing well, and what is suffering? What kinds of customers are booking cruise holidays? Have you noticed any other trends?

The names of all agents who send in comments will be put into a hat and the first 20 pulled out will win tickets.

The best comments will be displayed on the Travelmole website.

  Who wants to go on a cruise or even to a cruise show anyway. Dry land does not sink nor is the Novo virus so prevelent in Hotels as it is on ships

  It's an incredibly interesting time in the cruise market at the moment. Sure, times are tough and there are big challenges ahead, but increasing capacity and a fiercely competitive environment bring with it plenty of exciting opportunities.

  Great idea to bring suppliers under one roof. Not everyone can take the time to visit ships in dock for a visit or fly off to join a cruise ship at some foreign port. Great idea.
