The Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) UK & Ireland has opened registration for its highly anticipated Destination Showcase event, scheduled to take place in the charming city of Porto from the 6th to the 8th of October. This showcase promises to offer an immersive experience for attendees, packed with sessions conducted by experts specialising in both ocean and river cruise destinations.
Participants in the event will have the chance to engage in a trade fair which aims to enhance their understanding of the cruise industry by providing direct access to industry leaders and experts. Furthermore, hosted evening receptions will create a relaxed environment, enabling attendees to network and discuss insights gathered throughout the day.
Porto, known for its rich culture and history, will serve as a fascinating backdrop for the event. Attendees will be afforded the opportunity to embark on local tours and excursions, granting them a chance to explore the vibrant city while further enriching their knowledge of cruise destinations.
An exciting element of the showcase is the comprehensive ship visits. Delegates will be hosted on the Norwegian Prima, with additional visits planned for the Seabourn Ovation and several river cruise ships. These tours are designed to give attendees a firsthand perspective of the cruise experience, further equipping them to share insights with potential travellers.
Registration for this event is priced at £129 per person, and there will soon be announcements regarding preferential hotel accommodation rates and flight options through TAP Air Portugal. This initiative underscores the value CLIA places on equipping travel agents with the tools necessary to enhance sales by deepening their destination knowledge.
This event marks a strategic opportunity for travel agents to expand their expertise, thereby enriching the service they offer to customers.
