CLIA sets a date for Selling Cruise conference
CLIA will hold its Selling Cruise Conference in Southampton from May 22 to 23, when Princes Cruises’ Royal Princess will make her first return to the UK since her naming by the Duchess of Cambridge.
She will join P&O Cruises’ Britannia and Royal Caribbean’s Anthem of the Seas, both of which launch next spring.
CLIA UK & Ireland director Andy Harmer said: "The Conference will showcase three of the world’s newest, most innovative cruise ships all of which will be sailing out of the UK next year.
"Agents will have an amazing opportunity to see the latest developments in dining, entertainment and service when they visit each of them over the course of the three days. The visits will be combined with informative business sessions which will take place in state-of-the-art theatres on board Anthem of the Seas, Britannia and Royal Princess."
Registration for the 2015 CLIA UK & Ireland Selling Cruise Conference will open in late October.
