CLIA to host two-day luxury cruise showcase
CLIA is to host a two-day luxury cruise showcase in Malaga on October 15 and 16.
The event will include Silversea and Seabourn ship visits, conference sessions and networking sessions.
It will be open to around 80 travel agents. Details of how to secure a place will be confirmed shortly.
Andy Harmer, CLIA UK director, said: "There has been a significant increase in the number of new luxury ships being launched in recent years, by lines including Seabourn, Silversea, Crystal Cruises, Scenic and Regent. These launches have raised the profile of the luxury cruise sector, and of the vast array of innovative enhancements available onboard.
"There has never been more choice for agents selling luxury cruises, and with more luxury ships due to join the global cruise industry in the coming years, it’s a great time for agents to increase their understanding of this dynamic sector.
"The changing on-board experience, breadth of destinations, and exciting and increasingly adventurous land activities, alongside world-class service, are making luxury cruising appealing to a whole new generation of first-time cruisers."
