Time to celebrate
After a fantastic summer revival for cruising in Australia and New Zealand, this weekend’s CLIA Awards will provide a well-deserved opportunity to get together and celebrate.
Our cruise community’s hard work over recent years has been rewarded with a strong summer peak in which more than 40 international ships returned to local waters, setting the scene for an even stronger season ahead.
Globally, cruise passenger volumes are expected to return to pre-pandemic levels by the end of this year, and we’re seeing strong forecasts beyond. At the same time, dozens of spectacular new ships are due for launch over coming years, each one more innovative and energy-efficient than the generations that came before.
With much to look forward to, Sat’s awards night in Sydney will be a welcome celebration for a strong and united industry, and our first opportunity to honour our top achieving members in more than three years.
Almost 500 people will gather for what promises to be a fantastic night — one in which we salute not only the passion and commitment of our travel agent community, but also the energy and innovation that has put our industry on course for an excellent future.
