Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) has confirmed its 2027 RiverView conference will go on sale on September 16 at 11am. The event, which is marking its 15th anniversary, will take place from March 5-8 and is open to all CLIA member agents.
*All details correct at time of publication (7 September 2026)
As part of the conference, delegates can join a two-night sailing from Budapest to Vienna via Bratislava, with an additional overnight in Vienna. They will be hosted onboard one of three ships – AmaSofia, Riviera Radiance or VIVA TWO – with breakfast, dinner and entertainment included.
Vienna will host RiverView’s business sessions, alongside a guided tour programme offering delegates the opportunity to visit ships from Avalon Waterways, TUI River Cruises, Scenic and Riverside Luxury Cruises.
Bratislava is a new port of call for RiverView, with a networking trade fair and local excursions on offer in the Slovakian capital.
A new ‘Lite’ registration option will be introduced for 2027, giving agents the opportunity to take part in a shorter programme from March 6-8.
The ‘Lite’ option will include attendance at the business sessions, plus overnight stays on both TUI River Cruises and Avalon Waterways, and lunch on Scenic. A supplier networking afternoon will be arranged, and delegates will have the chance to visit a number of the participating river cruise ships.
VIVA Cruises will also offer a two-night pre-conference sailing onboard VIVA TWO. Agents can confirm interest at registration.
Ahead of RiverView, CLIA will put river cruise destinations in the spotlight with ‘A Week on the Rivers’ webinar series from October 12-16, 2026. Each webinar will start at 9.30am, with the programme comprising:
