Hear From a CLIA Member
As a newer cruise advisor, I’ve found the CLIA training to be incredibly valuable. It has given me the confidence and knowledge to navigate the cruise industry with a much deeper understanding, while reinforcing the importance of ongoing education in our profession.
Being Virtuoso certified alongside my CLIA training has been a powerful combination. Virtuoso inspires me to create exceptional, personalised luxury travel experiences, while CLIA provides the specialist cruise expertise that allows me to confidently guide my clients toward the right cruise products and experiences.
Together, they complement each other perfectly—one elevates the client experience, while the other strengthens the industry knowledge behind it. This combination has made me feel more confident, more connected, and better equipped to deliver outstanding journeys and outcomes for my clients.
