The Australasian cruise industry's night of nights
The CLIAs will bring together the brightest stars from Australia and New Zealand to celebrate their outstanding achievements over the past year.
The Cruise Industry Awards has always been about recognising excellence in our industry. For more than 20 years, it has celebrated the accomplishments of CLIA travel agent members, cruise media and our valued partners.
The 24th Annual Cruise Industry Awards will once again honour those who champion the cruise industry through innovation, training and exceptional cruise sales.
