Estimates of upwards of 1500 people attending the inaugural Bicton Travel Cruise Expo recently were the general norm, with all accounts labelling the event a resounding success. Representatives of many of the world’s biggest cruise lines selling in Australia were in attendance, including Regent Seven Seas, Voyages to Antiquity, Orion, Oceania Cruises & Azamara Club Cruises. For the lines operating primarily overseas, sales reps from major global airlines also exhibited at the show to help people figure out how to reach their cruise liners worldwide.
