Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) Australasia will expand its successful CLIA LIVE training program in 2020, introducing a two-day event on the Gold Coast in addition to six other cities in Australia and New Zealand.

The event’s debut on the Gold Coast follows the sell-out success of CLIA LIVE in 2019, with more than 650 tickets booked for events held in Perth, Adelaide, Sydney, Auckland, Brisbane and Melbourne.

CLIA LIVE offers a packed seminar program in which representatives from the world’s ocean, river and expedition cruise lines gather in the one forum to share product knowledge and insight. The events suit both new-to-cruise travel agents as well as more experienced sellers looking to update on the latest cruise developments.

CLIA Australasia Director of Membership & Events Marita Nosic said the theme of CLIA LIVE 2020 would be “The Guest Experience”.

“CLIA LIVE gives agents a rare opportunity to learn about multiple cruise lines in the one place at the one time,” she said. “It’s an excellent way to develop a detailed understanding of the different lines and learn how to match clients with the experience that will suit them best.”

CLIA LIVE 2020 is now available to book in the following cities:

  • Perth – March 17 & 18, Duxton Hotel Perth
  • Adelaide – April 1 & 2, Pullman Adelaide
  • Sydney – April 7 & 8, Rydges World Square
  • Brisbane – April 22 & 23, Mercure Brisbane North Quay
  • Gold Coast – May 19 & 20, Mantra at Sharks
  • Auckland – May 26 & 27, Rydges Auckland
  • Melbourne – June 17 & 18, Rydges Melbourne

Tickets are available to CLIA members only and cost A$50+GST or NZ$55 per day, with the option to attend one or both days. CLIA will award 30 accreditation points per day to all attendees. CLICK HERE for details and bookings.
