CLIA is urging interested agents to sign up as soon as possible, as last year’s conference sold out in just 24 hours.
The event, the 14th to be held, is dedicated to river cruise and will include a range of optional masterclasses including a half-day workshop specifically aimed at agents entering the sector.
It will also feature business sessions, a networking trade fair, multiple ship visits, hosted lunches and dinners, and overnight onboard stays for two nights.
A total of nine operators will have ships moored in Amsterdam and available for agents to visit. The current line-up is:
- AmaWaterways
- Amadeus River Cruises
- Avalon Waterways
- Emerald Cruises
- Riverside Luxury Cruises
- Riviera Travel
- TUI River Cruises
- VIVA Cruises
- Uniworld Boutique River Cruises
All other CLIA river cruise operators will be represented, and a number of associated suppliers will be on hand to meet at the trade fair and across the event.
Andy Harmer, CLIA Managing Director UK & Ireland, said: “River cruise continues to go from strength to strength and we’re expecting high RiverView demand once again for 2026.
“The event has become a cornerstone for the trade, bringing together agents, operators and partners to share knowledge and strengthen connections.
“We look forward to welcoming the industry to Amsterdam once again for what promises to be another standout conference.”
The event was hosted in Budapest in 2025, and most recently held in Amsterdam in 2024. Other venue cities have included Cologne, Paris, Vienna and Ho Chi Minh City.
