Cruise association CLIA UK & Ireland saw a 4% rise in membership during the first quarter of this year to reach its highest ever level.
It also saw a 22% rise in the number of accredited agents completing a minimum of the first level of CLIA training courses.
CLIA’s three main events in the UK and Ireland in April and May sold out, while a record-breaking 800-plus delegates will attend its annual conference in Southampton from 23-25 May.
The conference will include ship visits, conference sessions, an industry trade fair and an evening event.
UK & Ireland MD Andy Harmer said: “It’s amazing to see these levels of interest from agents in terms of industry networking, engaging with all cruise sectors including expedition and river, and gaining first-hand product knowledge.
“2024 will be a landmark year for the industry, with the trade riding on the crest of a wave, and I’d like to thank everyone for their positivity and enthusiasm as we further go from strength to strength.”
