Registration opens for CLIA events
Registration has opened for three key CLIA UK and Ireland agent events happening later this year.
The cruise body is holding Luxury and River Cruise Showcases in the UK in September and its inaugural European Luxury Cruise Showcase in Malaga in October.
Around 100 places are available for each of the showcases, being held in Manchester and Norwich on September 13 and 20 respectively.
These will give agents the chance to meet the CLIA team and cruise lines to learn about the latest innovations in the luxury and river cruise sectors.
CLIA’s inaugural European Luxury Cruise Showcase in Malaga is on October 15 and 16, with ship visits onboard Silversea’s Silver Whisper and Seabourn’s Ovation.
This event is being hosted by Visit Costa Del Sol and its partners and will include keynote conference sessions and a cruise trade fair.
"This unique event has limited availability, due to maximum ship visit numbers, so please book early to guarantee your place. This event is open for bookings from CLIA Member Travel Agents only," said Andy Harmer, CLIA senior vice-president membership and director UK & Ireland.
To secure a place at any of the events, log in at www.cruiseexperts.org.
