CLIA Travel Trade Website

CLIA Membership has given me access to travel resources and tools. Having itineraries, ship features, and key selling points for every global cruise line, to share with my clients, right at my fingertips is priceless.

I am so grateful for CLIA, and everything you all do to make sure agents are equipped with the knowledge and tools to provide the best service in the cruise industry. I have enjoyed all of the classes I have taken so far, and I look forward to working toward my MCC. It’s not just important to me to advise clients, but I also want to be knowledgeable in all aspects of the cruise business. Even after three college degrees, the training with CLIA has been my best education yet! Thank you all for being great trainers, leaders, and advisors.

Earning my CLIA Master Cruise Counselor certification nearly 20 years ago provided me with the core knowledge to get my career off the ground. I am grateful for CLIA’s continually evolving training offerings both digitally and in person that enhance travel advisors ability to understand the complexity of the cruise market.

As a new travel agent, I've only been in the industry for two years. My CLIA membership and the Master Certification training has been invaluable in growing my cruise confidence and knowledge. Being a member has given me opportunities to get onboard even more cruise ships for those all-important first hand experiences.

CLIA has opened up so many opportunities for me​. It's such an amazing community to be a part of ​- you get so much help, guidance and education. Completing my Master Certification was hard work but very worth it. I’ve gained so much knowledge from ship visits, fam cruises and winning a few cruises at CLIA events. It has helped increase my sales and I can highly recommend joining.

CLIA is a fantastic resource for any travel agent selling cruise. They have the most up-to-date information, hold the most informative events and the staff are amazing.

I would recommend to anyone wanting to specialise in cruise, that they become a CLIA member and participate in all of their training. There's a lot to learn about this industry and the CLIA website gives you so much on one site. I would recommend watching the webinars and applying for ship visits. First-hand knowledge is always so useful when engaging with your clients to sell the product. CLIA is your one-stop-shop for knowledge about all things cruise.

In the last two days I attended my first CLIA Rediscover Cruise roadshow event. My team and I were so impressed with the set-up and presentations. We were fully engaged and are now putting all our newly gained knowledge into our store. We have already set up an in-store event with one of the presenters. Highly recommended and we look forward to attending future events.

I’m a new member to CLIA this year and it’s opened the doors to so many cruise education opportunities for me. To experience the RiverView Conference in Budapest and the Expedition Cruise Residential was amazing. CLIA for me has enhanced my knowledge of cruising and opened my eyes to the world of river cruising and expedition cruising.
