Cruise360 Australasia will make Sydney its port of call again for the Southern Hemisphere’s biggest annual cruise industry conference from 17-18 September 2026 as this year’s event in Brisbane from 27-28 August 2025 is almost sold out.
Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) confirmed its flagship conference will return to the International Convention Centre Sydney in 2026 with the two-day format that debuts in Brisbane this year.
Next year’s conference will build on the success of the Cruise360 Australasia 2024 event, which attracted a record audience of more than 800 in Sydney.
The 2023 event was also staged in Brisbane, where it visited the Queensland capital for the first time.
Cruise360 Australasia 2025 is supported by headline sponsor Visit Qatar along with CLIA cruise lines, executive partners and other sponsors.
CLIA Managing Director in Australasia Joel Katz said this year’s event would celebrate a thriving cruise sector, bringing together travel agents and other travel professionals, cruise line representatives, ports and destinations, travel industry suppliers and other CLIA partners.
“Cruise360 Australasia has developed into the biggest event of the year for our cruise community and has been selling out well in advance, year after year,” he said.
“With interest at record levels, we have decided to announce next year’s venue and dates early so CLIA members can mark their diaries.”
Tickets to Cruise360 Australasia 2026 will be released next year.
