CLIA Expedition Showcase 2025 - Svalbard

Summer 2025 is looking even more exciting as we get ready to welcome our first agent group on an all-access Expedition cruise event in the World’s northernmost settlement.

This first-of-its-kind CLIA Expedition Showcase will take place over 3 full days (17-19 July 2025) in the iconic cold water expedition destination of Longyearbyen, Svalbard, one of the primary starting points of Arctic expedition cruises. Offering delegates the opportunity to live and breathe the experiences of your expedition cruise customers, the schedule will include immersive local excursions and multiple hosted ship inspections onboard CLIA expedition operators AE Expeditions, Ponant, Quark Expeditions and Swan Hellenic. Additional brands/ships to be confirmed.

Due to the more remote location, we have prepared a packaged registration bundle including return flights from London with SAS Scandinavian Airlines, airport to hotel transfers and 4-nights of accommodation (including daily breakfast) at one of two dedicated CLIA hotels. The event will run from Thursday 17 – Saturday 19 July 2025, with flights on the days either side (Outbound Wednesday 16, Homebound Sunday 20 July).

Expedition cruise will be in the spotlight throughout with inspirational business sessions and networking opportunities - putting you at the centre of the expedition cruise sector. The schedule will include two hosted lunches and two hosted evenings, also offering you free time each day and a couple of meals for you to arrange and enjoy as you wish in the destination.

The registration cost will include all of the event elements mentioned above as well as your primary travel and accommodation expenses, with Twin / Double occupancy room options offering the greatest value.

Numbers will be strictly limited to ensure each attendee gets full value from their time with us and supporting operators. This is a unique chance to truly get immersed in the opportunities that expedition cruising offers. Svalbard awaits

Registration will open in early January 2025.

Date and time:

Wednesday 16 – Sunday 20 July 2025
