CLIA agent summer school returns
Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) is bringing back its trade ‘summer school’ series in July and August.
The hour-long virtual classroom comprises a mix of four cruise lines, destinations and associated suppliers per session, who will each provide a 15-minute product update or training brief to agents.
The sessions are held live so attendees can access the industry’s latest information, as well as ask questions in real time.
The summer school begins on 8 July starting at 9.30am with representatives from CroisiEurope, Saga, Scenic & Emerald Cruises, and Virgin Voyages.
Sessions will then take place every Thursday, again from 9.30am, until the end of August.
Andy Harmer, CLIA UK and Ireland director, said: "Our summer school was particularly well-received by the trade last year, so we’re pleased to welcome it back by popular demand. It will be the go-to event for agents looking to get the very latest cruise information, as the industry continues to open up across the UK."
CLIA member travel agents can attend the summer school free of charge via cruising.org.
