Clia to mark 15th RiverView conference with three-capital Danube sailing

Clia will host agents on a two-night cruise visiting three European capitals for the 15th edition of its RiverView conference in 2027.

Between March 5 and 8, delegates will be hosted on either AmaSofia, Riviera Radiance or Viva Two, with all three vessels sailing from Budapest to Vienna, alongside a conference-first call in Bratislava.

Vienna will host business sessions and additional ship visits on four ships from Avalon Waterways, Tui River Cruises, Scenic and Riverside Luxury Cruises.

Agents can opt for a new, shorter ‘Lite’ registration option between March 6 and 8, incorporating business sessions in Vienna, overnight stays on Tui River Cruises and Avalon Waterways, lunch on Scenic, a networking afternoon and the opportunity to visit other ships.

Registration will open on September 14 to coincide with Clia Cruise Week.

Viva Cruises will also offer a two-night pre-conference sailing on Viva Two, with information on how to apply available at registration.

Clia UK and Ireland managing director Andy Harmer said: “RiverView is one of the highlights of the cruise calendar and we’re excited to mark its 15th anniversary in such a special way.

“By incorporating a two-night sailing across three of the Danube’s great capital cities, delegates will be able to experience first-hand exactly what makes river cruising so appealing.

“From life on board and time spent in destination to business sessions and networking opportunities, the programme has been designed to provide agents with invaluable insight and experiences.

“And our new ‘Lite’ option will give even more agents the opportunity to be part of the celebrations, while joining on a shorter itinerary.”
