CLIA Confirms Refreshed 2027 Southampton Conference Programme | Cruise Advisor
CLIA has confirmed that its 2027 annual conference will take place in Southampton from **13 to 15 May 2027**. The official event page describes a refreshed programme for travel-agent delegates. The first day is scheduled for Kings Conference Centre in Hedge End, Southampton. CLIA says the second day will combine business sessions with a ship visit onboard **P&O Cruises' Britannia**, while the optional third-day visit will offer a choice of **Celebrity Apex** or **Sky Princess**. The published programme also includes an extended trade fair and four themed breakout workshops covering subjects such as sales and marketing, sector-specific sessions and guidance for agents new to selling cruise. Registration is scheduled to open on **8 October 2026**. This is a trade event rather than a consumer cruise offer. Prospective delegates should confirm eligibility, capacity, registration terms and any costs directly with CLIA before arranging travel or accommodation. **Source:** CLIA Conference 2027 official event page.
