Cruise Month 2026 has wrapped up!
Thank you for making it our biggest Cruise Month yet
What is Cruise Month?
Cruise Month is CLIA Australasia’s annual celebration of the many cruise holidays available to travellers. Held throughout October, the campaign brings the cruise community together to inspire people to explore cruising and plan their next holiday.
The campaign highlights the variety of cruise experiences available, from ocean and river voyages to expedition and luxury cruising. It also helps travellers discover the benefits of booking with a CLIA-certified travel agent: a cruise specialist with additional training and experience to help match clients with the right holiday.
Cruise Month brings together social media activity, cruise promotions and travel agent initiatives. CLIA members can use the campaign to share cruise inspiration with their clients, promote the experiences available and celebrate the start of the summer cruise season.
In 2026, Cruise Month returned with a month-long program celebrating the growing choice of cruise holidays available to travellers. Thanks to the cruise lines, travel agents and everyone who took part, it was our biggest Cruise Month yet.
