Travel.Radio has announced it has partnered with CLIA for a new show dedicated to the cruise sector.

The Cruise Hour, which will be hosted by CLIA UK & Ireland director Andy Harmer every Monday from 2-3pm, will provide listeners with the latest news and insight from the sector, according to a statement.

Harmer will be joined by guests each week to share industry knowledge. Listeners will also be able to get involved by sharing their questions and thoughts with Harmer by tweeting @CLIAUK or emailing [email protected].

Travel.Radio CEO Debbie Henley said: “It is a huge honour to welcome Andy to our team as he brings another dimension of the travel industry. With his years of experience and knowledge, I am confident the Cruise Hour will be both amusing and informative.

“The Cruise Hour will air every Monday immediately after Sam Kane’s Afternoon Travel Show, another cruise favourite. Former West End star Sam has been in the entertainment industry for over 35 years and in recent years has been performing his one-man show to international audiences on the world’s biggest cruise ships.”

Harmer added: “We’re delighted to announce our partnership with Travel.Radio to bring listeners a brand-new show dedicated to all things cruise.

“We hope that CLIA members and the wider travel trade community find the show both entertaining and informative and we encourage listeners to send in any questions and comments each week to be included in the show.”

Travel.Radio launched last month and is the first global digital radio station exclusively for the travel trade and industry partners.  It is broadcast 24-hours a day through its website and is also available on smart speakers.
