Hurricane response

THE recent weather-related events in the Caribbean have devastated many of the communities that CLIA Cruise Lines visit.

The impact of these storms is still being tallied and will linger for months to come.

It is encouraging, however, to see how our industry has come together in the wake of these natural disasters.

It is important to recognise the great work that cruise lines are doing to aid in rescue efforts.

From delivering supplies to impacted areas such as the Caribbean Islands and helping evacuate stranded tourists and families, member Cruise Lines are continuing to work with officials to best lend their support.

It is often said that the worst of times brings out the best in people. Plan a Cruise Month

With a whole month of cruise deals on the horizon, Oct is stacking up to be the perfect time for your clients to plan next year’s holiday and nab a bargain.
