CLIA travel agent summer school returns
Cruise Lines International Association announced its ‘summer school’ series schedule for July and August.
The hour-long, trade-friendly virtual classroom sessions each comprise presentations from representatives of four cruise lines.
They provide a 15-minute product update or training brief covering their respective ocean, river, luxury or expedition brand.
The free-of-charge sessions are held live, so the trade has access to the latest information, and can ask questions in real time.
It follows the June webinars that included two on river cruise and three on expedition cruise.
Summer school begins on July 13 at 9.30am.
Sessions will then take place on consecutive Thursdays, all from 9.30am, until the end of August.
