The two-day event featuring conference sessions and face-to-face meetings at the Bankside Hotel – part of the Autograph Collection – in central London will be held on 1 and 2 October. 

ECN claims the conference will the first to be entirely focused on expedition cruise, the fastest growing sector in the cruise industry. 

Akvile Marozaite, ECN co-founder and chief executive, said: “As the expedition cruise sector continues to grow, demand has been building to bring together the UK’s best travel trade professionals with the globe’s top expedition cruise brands in one event.

“As the voice of the expedition cruise sector, ECN will host its first annual conference, bringing together its members with commercially important contacts, so that all can make valuable links, build relationships and discuss the issues that most matter to the most dynamic sector in the travel industry.”
