Showcase delegates will be hosted on Norwegian Prima, with additional luxury and river ship visit options available.
The trade fair will be held in the cruise terminal at Porto Leixoes in Matosinhos.
It includes a welcome dinner and the opportunity to join a choice of excursions in and around Porto.
