CLIA London has announced that its 2025 conference will take place from May 22-24 in Southampton, featuring ship visits, conference sessions, a trade fair, and a celebratory sailaway event.
An additional ‘New to Selling Cruise Day’ will be held on May 21, offering sales training and brand introductions for agents new to the cruise industry.
The event will include opportunities to visit various cruise ships, such as Fred. Olsen’s Balmoral and P&O’s Britannia, along with a sailaway party on the second evening.
Managing Director Andy Harmer said: “Our 2025 conference promises to be a standout date in the travel trade calendar. Not only will we showcase an incredible selection of ships, but we’ll also deliver the latest industry insights and practical knowledge through a diverse range of in-person sessions. Every cruise sector will be covered, including ocean, river, expedition, yacht and sailing, making this a truly immersive event for agents. We’re seeing unprecedented momentum across the industry, so next year is the ideal time to join us, whether agents are just starting their cruise sales journey or are simply looking to top up their knowledge. We can’t wait to welcome trade partners once again.”
