Throughout the month of October, CLIA UK and Ireland is hosting a series of Luxury and Expedition Cruise Showcase events.

The leading cruise association will visit three UK cities in three days. The event will offer CLIA travel agent members the opportunity to meet with luxury and expedition cruise lines and hear from industry experts.

Taking place across three nights, CLIA will host the showcase in Belfast, Manchester and Norwich on the 8, 9 and 10 October 2019, respectively.

With the ongoing boom in luxury cruising and the amazing new innovations in expedition cruising to meet customer demand, this showcase will present the perfect opportunity for agents to learn more about these constantly growing sectors and what passengers are looking for, so that they can effectively sell these cruises to clients.

New for this year, the showcase will also include a panel discussion, giving agents the opportunity to hear and learn from industry experts.

Andy Harmer, CLIA UK & Ireland director, said: “We are thrilled to announce that for the first time this year, along with speed training, our Luxury and Expedition showcase events will include an expert panel discussion.

“Over recent years we have seen a significant increase of interest in luxury and expedition cruises, so it is important that travel agents feel knowledgeable and confident when selling these types of cruises.

“The panel discussion will give agents a deeper insight into luxury cruises and expedition cruises, how they differ from other cruise holidays, the guest experience and how to attract the right customers.”
