Event Components

Workshops

Our workshops are filled with invaluable information that will help to propel your business to new heights. Workshops are taught by both suppliers and travel
advisor peers.

General Sessions

During the General Sessions, industry leaders will take the stage to discuss new updates within their company, what to expect in the coming year, trends, and more.

Exhibitor
Showcase

The dynamic and interactive Exhibitor Showcase provides advisors with a venue to meet travel suppliers and learn more about their product and service offerings. Exhibitors in attendance come from all facets of the travel industry—not just cruise.

Ship Tours

Ship Tours give advisors the opportunity to get on board and tour the best ships on the water. Advisors can learn which ships are best for each of their clients and are armed with information to more effectively plan the perfect cruise vacation.

The STAR (Select Travel Advisor Recognition) Program

To reconfirm Travel Weekly's support and commitment to the industry, CruiseWorld has created the STAR Program, connecting pre-qualified industry professionals through pre-scheduled, virtual, one-on-one Business Connections and select networking opportunities. CruiseWorld travel advisors are a diverse group of pre-qualified professionals with varying experience levels and specialties. Travel Weekly sponsors approve members who are committed to their future and the event programming, and provides them with complimentary event registration and two (2) nights hotel accommodation at an official conference hotel.

The investment Travel Weekly makes in the industry's future and in the growth of the travel agent distribution channel at CruiseWorld clearly defines this event as the premier gathering place for serious travel retailers and suppliers from all sectors of the travel industry.
