For the first time, Australian
agents are invited to this
year’s Europe River Cruise
Extravaganza.
The global union between cruise
organisations has created a new opportunity
for Australian and New Zealand travel agents
to attend an annual conference hosted by CLIA
UK in Germany.
Cruise Lines International Association
Australasia was this week allocated limited
spaces for agent members to attend the twoday
Europe River Cruise Extravaganza, to be
held in Cologne on 17-18 Nov.
The event includes one night onboard a river
vessel, conference sessions, a trade show and
inspections of other ships.
“European river cruising has grown strongly
in recent years so this is a great opportunity
for agents to learn more about the market,
experience a number of different vessels
firsthand and network with operators and
agents from the UK,” said CLIA Australasia
general manager Brett Jardine.
He said the invitation demonstrated the
benefits of the collaboration now occurring
between cruise bodies around the world, after
uniting under the CLIA umbrella last Dec.
“Agents should be making the most of any
opportunity to boost their understanding of
the market and build their cruise business,”
Jardine added.
