CLIA UK & Ireland will host a series of luxury and expedition cruise events this October, visiting three UK cities in three days.

The events in Belfast on the 8th, Manchester on the 9th and Norwich on the 10th will offer CLIA travel agent members the chance to meet with luxury and expedition cruise lines and hear from industry experts, it said.

The events will include a panel discussion, giving agents the opportunity to hear and learn from industry experts.

CLIA UK & Ireland director Andy Harmer said: "Over recent years we have seen a significant increase of interest in luxury and expedition cruises, so it is important that travel agents feel knowledgeable and confident when selling these types of cruises.

"The panel discussion will give agents a deeper insight into luxury cruises and expedition cruises, how they differ from other cruise holidays, the guest experience and how to attract the right customers."

CLIA will also host its first-ever Expedition Cruise Forum this month. Taking place in London on March 28, travel agents will have the chance to meet with expedition cruise companies to learn about the latest products, news and developments.
