CLIA UK & Ireland will welcome some of the cruise industry’s most prominent figures to speak at its 11th annual conference, taking place in Southampton from 24th May to 26th May 2017.
Christine Duffy, president, Carnival Cruise Line; Rudi Schreiner, president and co-owner, Ama Waterways; Gavin Smith, senior vice president International, Royal Caribbean Cruises Limited and Cindy D’Aoust, president and CEO, CLIA, will all take to the stage to provide agents with the most up to date insights on the cruise sector and their specialist areas of expertise.
The event will feature a full conference day, a ‘Great British Cruise Fair’ and gala dinner. Agents will also be welcomed on-board Cunard’s newly remastered Queen Mary 2 and Royal Caribbean International’s Navigator of the Seas.
This year 460 travel agents – a record number – are now confirmed to attend, with just a handful of available places remaining for CLIA members.
Andy Harmer, CLIA SVP membership & director UK & Ireland commented:
“We are thrilled to welcome Christine, Rudi, Gavin and Cindy as keynote speakers to this year’s conference, bringing with them a new perspective on the cruise industry and insights into their areas of specialism.
The 2017 CLIA Conference will be a celebration of cruise industry collaboration under the theme ‘Together’. There are a number of additional speakers and sessions that will be announced closer to the time, and we very much look forward to a fantastic conference day as part of this year’s event.”
