Tickets are now on sale today for the sixth CLIA River Cruise Conference.
More than 275 delegates, including around 200 travel agents, are expected to attend the Conference in Amsterdam on November 20 and 21.
The event will showcase seven ships, including four which are new to the event.
The four ships making their debut are Amadeus Silver III, Tauck’s Grace, Riviera Travel’s William Shakespeare and Emerald Dawn.
These will be joined by CroisiEurope’s Lafayette, Shearing’s Da Vinci and Uniworld’s Antoinette.
Latest figures show the number of British travellers taking a river cruise grew by more than 10,000 last year, taking the total to 150,300.
Of these, 87% were taken in Europe.
On the eve of the conference, there will be a presentation ceremony for the first ever CLIA River Cruise Excellence Awards.
The evening, hosted on board Tauck’s new Inspiration Class ship, will see eight awards presented, including Best River Cruise Newcomer, River Cruise Ambassador of the Year and 2016 Clia River Cruise Agent of the Year.
