Advantage to hold cruise conference on board ship
The Advantage Travel Partnership’s 2017 Cruise Conference will take place onboard P&O’s Ventura for a two-night cruise in October.
This the fifth time Advantage has hosted a dedicated cruise conference and the first time afloat on a cruise ship.
Last year 100 delegates attended the event at the Grand Harbour Hotel in Southampton and this year, based on member feedback, the consortia has decided to take members to sea.
The mini cruise will depart from the Mayflower Terminal in Southampton on Friday October 27.
Conference sessions will start shortly after embarkation and there will be ample time for networking with cruise line partners.
Delegates will have the opportunity to experience the features of Ventura and the conference will end with a gala dinner.
Advantage senior commercial manager Claire Brighton said: "Cruise is so important to our members and we hope this conference will allow members that haven’t previously experienced a cruise to help drive their new cruise business, along with inspiring our cruise champions."
