Part of my role as a Travel Advisor is to experience as much as possible the types of trips I specialize in so I can share with clients and advise them about the experience. I was not on this familiarization trip with HX but I have sailed with them. For anyone curious about the type of enrichment and onboard experience you can have on an HX expedition, this video provides an excellent peek into the HX experience. Where would you like to take an expedition trip?

Reflecting on the CLIA Conference 2024: A Milestone Event for the Cruise Industry The Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) Conference 2024, held from May 23-25 in Southampton, UK, stands out as the largest and most impactful event of its kind in Europe. This year's conference brought together travel agents, industry leaders, and cruise line representatives, offering a rich agenda that was both educational and inspiring. One of the key highlights was the introduction of the "New to Selling Cruise Day" on May 22. This pre-conference session was designed specifically for new agents, providing them with intensive industry and product training. I absolutely loved the session held by Debbee Dale, she is such an inspiration and a force, she truly motivated me and the many others in the audience, I am certain. The main event featured a comprehensive schedule that included conference sessions, an industry trade fair, and the unique opportunity to tour some of the newest and most luxurious ships in the industry. Attendees had the chance to select two ships to visit over consecutive days from a distinguished pool, including Cunard's Queen Anne, Silversea's Silver Dawn, Princess Cruises' Sky Princess, MSC Virtuosa, P&O Cruises' Iona, and Fred. Olsen's Borealis. Remarkably, four of these ships were making their debut appearances at a CLIA Conference. Andy Harmer, Managing Director of CLIA UK & Ireland, emphasised the significance of this year's conference, highlighting its expansion in both scope and scale. He pointed out that the increased number of ships and the extended land program offered unparalleled insights and networking opportunities. These elements are crucial for travel agents to enhance their understanding of the cruise industry and to refine their sales techniques. The conference also featured a celebratory evening event on Friday evening, Sail Away, providing a relaxed atmosphere for networking and celebrating the industry's achievements. For those of us in the travel industry, events like the CLIA Conference are instrumental in keeping us connected, informed, and inspired. This year's conference not only met but exceeded my expectations, setting a high bar for future events. #CruiseIndustry #CLIA2024 #TravelAgents #Networking #ProfessionalDevelopment #CruiseSales #discovermore #CLIA #travelcounsellors #MrsS

A call for change in the Business Travel Industry Today, at Blue Cube Travel Ltd we are reflecting on a significant issue in our industry. Our talented young people are in the office today, when ideally we would have liked them to attend The Business Travel Show. However, with tickets priced at over £700 each, this is not feasible. The travel media champion young talent, yet at the start of their careers, these young professionals are being priced out of opportunities to grow and network. This needs to change. Let's urge the Business Travel Show organisers to make these events more accessible for the next generation of travel leaders.  Together we should be fostering a more inclusive and thriving industry. ✈ Mazel Vaz Amelia Poniewierska Yasmin Donnelly Swati Kirtykumar Zakiy Hussain Honey Phaure Jagveer Singh Ruby Sawyer Archie Brooke Libby Wilson Business Travel Show Europe #youngtalent #bluecubetravel #bluecubers #youngtalentmatters #futureproofing #businesstravelshoweurope
