Cruise Month brings expanded webinar series

September 22, 2025 – Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) has created its biggest-ever program of Cruise Month webinars, giving travel agent members a chance to learn from dozens of the world’s top cruise lines.

More than 30 individual webinars will be offered throughout October, each aligned with Cruise Month’s four weekly themes - Ocean Cruising (5-11 October), River Cruising (12-18 October), Expedition Cruising (19-25 October) and Luxury Cruising (26 October-1 November).

The webinars are available exclusively to CLIA members and will be available online each Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, with choices available at 10am, 12pm and 2pm AEDT (12pm, 2pm and 4pm NZDT). Each webinar will be presented by a different CLIA cruise line, giving insight into each brand’s latest initiatives including their newest ships, itineraries, sales tips and product knowledge.

CLIA Managing Director in Australasia Joel Katz said this year’s Cruise Month webinar program would offer more cruise lines than ever before, including several new CLIA members.

“Cruise Month is an opportunity to build excitement around cruising and the summer sailing season, so our webinar program is designed to give travel agents the insight they need to engage their clients and inspire them to select their next cruise,” Mr Katz said. “This year’s webinar program offers insights into dozens of different cruise lines spanning the full spectrum of the global cruise sector, making it a great opportunity to gain knowledge and inspiration.”

Under the banner #LoveCruise, this year’s Cruise Month campaign will bring a fresh cycle of social media activity, digital advertising, education opportunities and other promotional initiatives designed to create excitement around cruising and direct consumers to their local CLIA travel consultant.

The full schedule of webinars and participating cruise lines is available in the Cruise Month Toolkit, accessible via the CLIA Members Hub.
