Clia has hailed the success of a three-day destination showcase in Porto.
More than 100 delegates from across Europe attended the event which featured sessions held by ocean and river cruise experts as well as a river cruise tour.
As well as participating in excursions, attendees could tour either an ocean or river cruise ship from a choice of Seabourn Ovation, Emerald Cruises’ Emerald Radiance or Uniworld Boutique River Cruises’ Sao Gabriel.
Andy Harmer, Clia UK & Ireland managing director, said: “Porto is a highlight of many ocean and river cruise holidays so it was the perfect location for this hugely important event in the industry calendar.
“The first-hand knowledge of all the delegates, including travel agents, means they will now be even better served to recommend and sell cruise holidays and destinations.
“Many thanks to all attendees as well as everyone in Porto for giving us such a warm welcome.”
