Make the most of your CLIA Membership

Get the most out of your CLIA Membership by taking advantage of all the opportunities it offers.

Take the time to invest in your professional development of all things cruise, make use of the resources we provide, and be sure to promote your CLIA certification (and cruise expertise) to your clients.

CLIA Members have exclusive access to an ever-growing library of valuable training, tools and resources all in one convenient location – the Members Hub. This is your biggest asset – be sure to make use of it!

Visit the Learning Academy, located within the Members Hub, to learn everything you need to know about selling cruise. Enhance your knowledge of the various cruise segments and categories, learn about worldwide cruise destinations, and acquire the skills to upsell, cross-sell and match your clients to the right cruise. CLIA Cruise Lines have their own resource page within the Members Hub, where you can find contact details, e-brochures, promotions, news, webinars, event details and even online training courses – to assist you in understanding their own points of distinction, target markets, on board product and how to sell their brand.

The Members Hub also features all the latest cruise news, CLIA podcasts, CLIA event details, recorded webinars, downloadable reference guides, videos and other resource material to assist you with your cruise enquiries. Our Toolbox provides you with useful infographics and social media assets, along with resources to assist you during Cruise Month and to promote your cruise expertise and your affiliation with CLIA.
