October once again heralds the start of the summer cruise season and the world’s biggest cruise promotion with Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) Australasia encouraging Australians and New Zealanders to ‘#ChooseCruise’ this month.

The proposed new cruise terminal at Sydney’s Port Botany was a hot topic of discussion during the Cruise Line Industry Association (CLIA) Australasia’s Cruise360 conference last Friday.

High demand for cruise sales agents and reservation staff has been addressed with the announcement last Friday at Cruise360 of a new traineeship program, under a joint collaboration between Cruise Lines International Association Australasia (CLIA), Apprenticeship Support Australia (ASA) and training provider, TAFE NSW.
