Clia’s Cruise360 to take place in Valletta, Malta

Clia has announced that its Cruise360 will place in Valletta, Malta, from October 28-30.

The event will be the second Cruise360 to be staged in Europe, with the inaugural hosted in Copenhagen in 2017. 

Clia said Cruise360Malta offers a “panoramic” view of the cruise industry by bringing together travel agents, cruise line representatives, ports and destinations and industry suppliers from across the continent. 

Delegates will have the chance to visit one of two ships: Holland America Line’s Koningsdam or Regent Seven Seas’ Voyageron on Monday October 28.

On Tuesday October29, delegates will attend a networking trade fair in the morning followed by a ship visit onboard Celebrity Cruises’ Celebrity Edge. 

Delegates will then have the option to fly home or stay another night to visit Azamara Club Cruises’ Azamara Pursuit.  

Andy Harmer, CLIA UK & Ireland director, said: “We are thrilled to announce that Cruise360 will be returning to Europe this year. CLIA understands the importance for travel agents to experience cruise destinations and new ships first hand so they can confidently sell cruise and get even more people choosing to book this type of holiday.

“Malta is a growing cruise destination and its Unesco World Heritage capital is a real gem of a city. Delegates will not only have the chance to immerse themselves in this beautiful and historic cruise port with this special Cruise360 event, they will also be able to visit up to three luxury cruise ships and hear from experts both inside and outside the industry.” 

Registration for Cruise360 opens on May 22 and is available to all Clia travel agents in Europe. Visit cruiseexperts.org for more information.
