Clia has announced that Holland America Line’s Nieuw Statendam and Azamara Quest will host visits during the cruise trade body’s Destination Showcase.
The event will take place in Gibraltar from September 15-17, during Clia Cruise Week (September 16-22).
The showcase will also include business sessions, networking and other activities, all with the theme of #DiscoverMore.
Delegates will be able to visit the Mons Calpe Suite, at the Gibraltar Cable Car Top Station, by cable car; join evening events at the Rock Hotel and St Michael’s Cave; and have a choice of shore excursions.
There will also be a “meet the sponsors” event on the Sunborn Hotel five-star floating yacht.
Andy Harmer, Clia managing director for UK & Ireland, said: “Last year’s showcase was a great success, with agents able to broaden their knowledge and understanding of cruise destinations through an ideal mix of ship visits and excursions, expert insight and networking with industry colleagues.
“This year’s event will be no different and we’re eagerly anticipating hosting our trade partners in Gibraltar, which is a vibrant cruise hub and always provides visitors with a wonderful warm welcome.
“We’d encourage agents who are keen to learn more, in an informative and enjoyable setting, to sign up now.”
The showcase will be hosted with Visit Gibraltar, the marketing arm of the Gibraltar Tourist Board, which will provide preferential rates for hotel accommodation.
