Registration
for Travel Weekly’s CruiseWorld is now open. The event
returns to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, at the Broward County Convention Center,
November 4–6, 2026.
The
annual event offers something for advisors at every level, including supplier
trainings, immersive networking opportunities, ship tours, dynamic general
sessions, and a trademark Exhibitor Showcase. New this year is an elevated educational
track tailored to multi-million-dollar producers and agency owners.
Designed
to support today’s evolving travel advisor, the 2026 program addresses the
challenges professionals face at every stage of their careers while reinforcing
the critical advisor–supplier relationship. “We strive to meet the needs of our
diverse and ever-changing travel advisor audience at CruiseWorld,” said Mary
Pat Sullivan, Executive Vice President, Marketing & Partnerships, Northstar
Travel Group. “We’re excited to bring new sessions, relevant topics and fresh
content to the stage.”
Returning
in 2026 is the popular Masterminds Panel, where top industry executives share
insights on how advisors can grow their sales with each brand and strengthen
their position in the industry.
Peer-to-Peer
sessions will take place on Friday, November 6. These breakout sessions, consistently
a highlight of CruiseWorld, allow both emerging and experienced advisors to
learn from one another across key areas such as marketing, sales, social media,
product development, professional growth, and supplier relationship building.
This year will also feature an enhanced content track specifically designed for
multi-million-dollar sellers. Check out the 2025 sessions here.
Attendees
can also participate in an interactive Think Tank, collaborating with peers to
exchange ideas, share successful strategies, and seek solutions to common
challenges.
Supplier-sponsored
workshops will be held on Wednesday and Thursday, November 4–5, offering
insights from destinations, cruise lines, and other partners on new products
and programs.
Also
returning is CruiseWorld’s popular STAR (Select Travel Advisor Recognition)
Program, designed for an elite group of attendees. The 2025 program sold out,
and interested advisors are encouraged to apply early. More information,
including qualifications and the STAR application, is available at www.cruiseworldshow.com/star-program.
Ship
tours will be offered following the event, on November 7–8.
