CLIA Confirms Refreshed 2027 Southampton Conference Programme

CLIA has confirmed that its 2027 annual conference will take place in Southampton from 13 to 15 May 2027. The official event page describes a refreshed programme for travel-agent delegates.

The first day is scheduled for Kings Conference Centre in Hedge End, Southampton. CLIA says the second day will combine business sessions with a ship visit onboard P&O Cruises' Britannia, while the optional third-day visit will offer a choice of Celebrity Apex or Sky Princess.

The published programme also includes an extended trade fair and four themed breakout workshops covering subjects such as sales and marketing, sector-specific sessions and guidance for agents new to selling cruise. Registration is scheduled to open on 8 October 2026.

This is a trade event rather than a consumer cruise offer. Prospective delegates should confirm eligibility, capacity, registration terms and any costs directly with CLIA before arranging travel or accommodation.
