The Cruise Factor

GRAND MILLENIUM
As a newer consultant but also a well-travelled cruiser, I was excited to gain a deeper understanding of current travel trends. The presentations really helped strengthen my knowledge and will assist in generating more cruise bookings across the CLIA cruise lines. I also found it interesting to learn more about cruise lines that our agency doesn’t book as often, which has sparked ideas on how we might shift that trend in our office.

I was glad I attended and felt the cost for the day was a worthwhile investment. The presentations were engaging and informative, and I genuinely learnt a few new things. It was also valuable to reconnect with suppliers and industry colleagues, and I appreciated the opportunity to hear updates directly from partners. Overall, I found the day beneficial and worthwhile attending.

Anna Forlin, MTA
I really enjoyed the focus on cruise line personality. Bringing in the passenger demographics made it feel much more real and easier to apply when matching the right cruise to the right client. I also loved hearing about the brand pillars and values. Being newer to the industry, it really helps me understand which cruise lines best align with my audience and how I want to position what I offer.
