The event – which will be held next year – will also allow the trade to hear how they can continue to "play a crucial industry role".

The announcement comes as the organisation highlights the trade initiatives and activities it has planned for next year as 2022 draws to an end.

Other plans for 2023 includes the launch of a series of "boot camp" webinars in January, which will cover member cruise lines’ main Wave activity, as well as new ships, itineraries and experiences.
 

The organisation will also host its annual RiverView conference in Vienna next March, as well as its flagship conference in Southampton in May.

Andy Harmer, Clia managing director UK and Ireland, said: "I’d like to finish 2022 by saying a huge thank you to the trade, on behalf of Clia and the cruise industry.

"Their positivity, support and incredible hard work has been inspiring, and we end the year on a high as a result of all their efforts. 
 
"We can all look forward to 2023 with a real sense of optimism and have much to look forward to, not least with all the new initiatives and product that is set to be introduced."
