Club Royal, Royal Caribbean’s industry loyalty programme, is offering members the chance to win one of 10 places to attend this year’s CLIA Cruise Conference as part of a new competition.

The competition is open for entries until Tuesday April 18. To be in with a chance of winning a place, Club Royal members are invited to email the Club Royal team on [email protected] stating why they should win a place.

An additional 10 tickets have been given to key trade partners to surprise employees in the lead up to the event.

The 20 agents will receive free entry to the 3-day CLIA Cruise Conference including the evening Gala Dinner, with luxury accommodation at a Southampton hotel. The cruise line’s branded kit and food and drink throughout the trip will also be covered, including a welcome dinner on the first evening.

Ben Bouldin, associate vice president and managing director for UK&I, Royal Caribbean said: “The CLIA Cruise Conference will be an excellent opportunity to hear from some of the world’s leading cruise industry figures and network with people from across the travel industry. Helping agents learn more about cruise and our offering is at the heart of our Club Royal programme, which is why we are pleased to be offering a total of 20 agents a VIP place at the event.

As part of the conference the 20 lucky agents will have the opportunity to visit a number of cruise ships in the port of Southampton, including two of our own, Independence of the Seas and Navigator of the Seas. It’s going to be a lot of fun and educational at the same time.”
