Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) UK & Ireland has added further engagement activities for Destination Showcase in September.

This year the British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar is hosting.

The second edition of the event will feature visits on Holland America Line’s Nieuw Statendam and Azamara Quest, plus business sessions and networking.

The Showcase will also feature varied local experiences to educate agents on the destination.

These have the theme of #DiscoverMore.

Visits include the Mons Calpe Suite by cable car, evening events at the Rock Hotel and St Michael’s Cave, plus shore excursions.

The schedule now includes:

September 15: Welcome reception at the Mons Calpe Suite, located at the Gibraltar Cable Car Top Station. Includes complimentary cable car ride.

September 16: Business sessions, tour of Holland America Line’s Nieuw Statendam, ‘meet the sponsors’ on the Sunborn Hotel 5* floating yacht and celebratory dinner at St Michael’s Cave.

September 17: Tour and lunch on Azamara Quest, choice of local excursions, followed by a closing dinner at The Rock Hotel.

Andy Harmer, CLIA managing director for UK & Ireland, said: “Last year’s Showcase was a great success, with agents able to broaden their knowledge and understanding of cruise destinations.”

This year will be no different in Gibraltar, which is a vibrant cruise hub and always provides visitors with a wonderful warm welcome.”

The Showcase will be hosted in conjunction with Visit Gibraltar, the marketing arm of the Gibraltar Tourist Board.

There will be preferential rates for hotel accommodation in the city.

The event will take place during CLIA Cruise Week, which runs from September 16-22.

This will feature a host of trade-friendly activities and initiatives, supported by consumer outreach.
