Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) has announced details of its masterclasses on offer at the upcoming CLIA Cruise360 conference in Copenhagen.

The event for cruise lines and travel agents will take place from 9th – 11th September this year.

With special speakers, the masterclass seminar sessions will focus on providing delegates with practical advice and support to grow their cruise sales.

The subjects will include:

· How to sell a world cruise: looking at his top five world cruise experiences, host Peter Kollar will offer a breakdown of features that can’t be read in a cruise brochure
· Selling cruise holidays to Asia: as a growing market, Peter Kollar will look at the dynamics of the region, how it’s changing and how to sell it
· River Cruising: Jane Archer will host a session on how to sell European river cruises and increase sales in this lucrative sector
· Five ways to inspire: hosted by Moira Ni Ghallachoir, the session will focus on increasing clients, contracts and profits
· Encouraging positivity: with her own training, learning and development business consultancy, host Debbee Dale will provide an insight on self-promotion and the power of a positive attitude

Andy Harmer, SVP membership & director, CLIA UK & Ireland said:

“Cruise360 will allow us to showcase Copenhagen as a cruise destination, and some amazing ships – but our masterclass series of seminars will also give delegates the chance to be inspired and learn some new skills and information that will give them the competitive edge. Our guest speakers have been carefully chosen to ensure a wide variety of content and learning opportunities, which we hope delegates will be able to put into practice back in the UK.”
