Niche cruise wholesaler
Micro-Cruising has become an
associate member of Cruise
Lines International Association
Australasia (CLIA).
A RELATIVELY new operation, Micro-Cruising
first launched to the industry at the beginning
of last month (CW 01 Aug), specialising in
small-ship cruising and niche or themed
voyages catering to around 100 pax or fewer.
The burgeoning operation is headed up by
managing director Nicola Caygill, and currently,
the operation carries more than 300 itineraries
in 80 different destinations.
In making the announcement late yesterday,
CLIA Australasia general manager Brett Jardine
said the wide variety of ships and cruise
adventures offered by Micro-Cruising would
be further at the forefront of agent’s minds
through its new associate membership.
“As more and more styles of cruising become
accessible, it’s important that we ensure
agents have a good understanding of the
fantastic range of ships and destinations on
offer for their clients,” Jardine said.
Micro-Cruising plans to kick off its new
associate CLIA membership by promoting and
running a series of online training sessions for
agents to see the wide variety of small ship
cruising options out there in the marketplace.
“We are very keen to educate the cruisefocused
travel trade on less traditional options
available to their clients,” Caygill added.
