Representatives from 25 local and international cruise lines will give short presentations on their unique selling points during the two-day exclusive training programs for CLIA  accredited agents.

 

The ultimate refresher course

 

Katz said CLIA LIVE is the ultimate refresher course for motivated cruise agents wanting to stay at the top of their game.

 

‘We’re thrilled to be able to bring CLIA LIVE to Brisbane and Melbourne after a successful event in Sydney,’ he said. 

 

‘There is such a diverse range of cruising product available these days and the best way for agents to gain in-depth knowledge of each brand is to attend one of our CLIA LIVE events.’

 

Brisbane and Melbourne dates

 

The Brisbane event will be held July 17 and 18 at the Mercure at North Quay. Tickets cost A$50 a day.

 

CLIA LIVE Melbourne is scheduled for September 18 and 19, with tickets going on sale next month.

 

CLIA agents earn 30 points for attending.
