CLIA UK & Ireland will host its 15th annual conference in Southampton on 12-14 May 2023, with delegates being invited to attend multiple ship visits, conference sessions, a trade fair and a celebratory dinner.
Attendees will be given the choice to visit MSC Cruises’ MSC Virtuosa, Fred. Olsen Cruise Line’s Balmoral or Royal Caribbean International’s Anthem of the Seas on the first day, and participate in a ship tour and conference sessions onboard Celebrity Cruises’ Celebrity Silhouette and P&O Cruises’ Arvia on the second and third day respectively.
CLIA will also provide a new half-day training session for new-to-cruise agents that will include information on sales techniques and product updates.
“After the huge success of this year’s conference we’re excited to offer a similarly informative and engaging line-up in 2023,” said Andy Harmer, managing director of CLIA UK & Ireland. “The first-hand insight agents gain from ship visits is unbeatable, while the networking opportunities on offer at the trade fair and dinner are invaluable. We can’t wait to welcome partners from across the trade once again, as our flagship event marks its 15th year.”
Details of the theme and keynote speakers will be announced soon.
