CLIA opens more trade places for annual conference
Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) UK & Ireland has released a limited number of extra places for its annual conference in May.
The conference originally sold out in a record 48 hours.
Additional delegates are now able to join as P&O Cruises has added Britannia to the ship visit schedule.
Also, more travel agent spaces are being offered on ships from the original line-up.
The conference is held from May 23-25 in Southampton and around 850 attendees will join, making it the biggest ever.
Operators from the ocean, river, expedition, yacht and small ship sectors will attend.
This year’s event theme is #DiscoverMore and will focus on the wealth and variety of destinations that are accessible via cruise ship.
It will include conference sessions, a trade fair, ship visits and a gala dinner.
This is the second round of additional places made available due to the demand.
Andy Harmer, CLIA MD, UK & Ireland said: “We’re thrilled to offer more trade places for our biggest-ever CLIA Conference. I’m particularly grateful to P&O Cruises for adding Britannia to our cruise ship line-up.”
“CLIA Conference offers delegates the ideal opportunity to engage with operators from all sectors of the industry.
In addition to Britannia, the other ships available for visits are Cunard’s Queen Anne, Fred Olsen’s Borealis, MSC Virtuosa, P&O Cruises’ Iona, Princess Cruises’ Sky Princess and Silversea’s Silver Dawn.
