Registration has opened for the Advantage Conference 2016 which will be held on board a cruise ship for the first time.
The MSC Fantasia will sail from Genoa on April 16 on a four-night mini cruise visiting Barcelona on April 17, Palma de Mallorca on April 18, Ajaccio in Corsica on April 19 before returning to Genoa on April 20.
The conference will offer a combination of on-board business sessions and social events with shore excursions to the ports of call, providing an authentic cruise experience, said Advantage.
Business development director Colin O’Neill said: "Holding the Advantage Conference on board a cruise ship is a first for us and we are really excited about the opportunities it offers us to showcase the ship, engage with members and strengthen members’ knowledge of cruise through first-hand experience."
