STB at the CLIA Conference 2022
Congratulations to @cliaEurope for the fantastic CLIA Conference last weekend in Southampton. Singapore Tourism Board was headline sponsor at this event and I have been delighted to meet all the agents and cruise lines participating over the three days. Apparently, there were 350 participants!
Very impressed by the ships I visited (P&O Cruises' Iona and Royal Caribbean's Anthem of the Seas), the conference sessions were informative and yet entertaining, and it was a pleasure going back to live cruise events after so long!
At the trade fair, STB had organised an innovative tech 360 video booth experience that included a platform on which guests could stand on and a mechanical arm would take a 360 video against a 360 backdrop of Singapore. So much fun!
Since cruising resumed in Singapore in November 2020, over half a million passengers have sailed on more than 350 sailings. Spectrum of the Seas (under Royal Caribbean International) is deployed in Singapore from now until April 2023. Genting Dream (under Resorts World Cruises) will be deployed in Singapore from 15 June 202 to April 2023. In the latter half of 2022, we are expecting more cruise ships to call into Singapore.
Looking forward to seeing the Singapore cruise business thrive!
