Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) UK & Ireland this week hosted 70 delegates from across the trade at its CLIA Expedition Cruise Forum.

Held at the Courthouse Hotel London, the event featured business sessions, outlining the latest expedition insights and trends as well as product training and networking, via individual cruise lines and associated partners

As part of the day, CLIA’s latest expedition partner, ExplorEarth, announced it is hosting a dedicated section on its website www.explorearth.com/CLIA – exclusively for CLIA members.

It will feature a piece by expedition expert and writer Mark Stratton, plus an ‘Ask ExplorEarth’ section where CLIA members can ask its team sales or product questions.

Recommended CLIA partner cruises will also be highlighted.

In addition, CLIA announced a dedicated ‘Small Ship Cruising Day’ will be held for the travel trade on May 7.

A series of tailored assets, information and webinars will be made available to help agents increase their knowledge and promote the sector.

This comprises yacht, ship and coastal cruising, as well as expedition vessels.

It follows the recent unveiling of a new ‘River Cruise Day’, which is being held on April 3.

Andy Harmer, CLIA MD UK & Ireland, said: “Expedition travel is thriving and we’re excited to help our partners enhance their sales expertise by learning more about the wealth of options at their disposal.”

“We’re also pleased to reveal plans for a further dedicated cruise day, this time focusing on the wide range of small ships available to sell.”
