Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) has confirmed that Cruise360 Australasia will return to Sydney in 2026, following record-breaking demand for this year’s Brisbane conference.
The 2026 event will take place at the International Convention Centre Sydney from 17–18 September, again adopting the expanded two-day format that proved a success at last year’s Sydney gathering, which welcomed more than 800 attendees.
In the meantime, this year’s Cruise360 conference in Brisbane is nearly sold out. Scheduled for 27–28 August 2025 at the Royal International Convention Centre, the event will bring together a full spectrum of cruise professionals — from travel advisors to cruise line executives, ports, tourism organisations, and suppliers.
CLIA Managing Director Australasia Joel Katz said Cruise360 had become the region’s premier cruise industry event.
“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,” said Katz. “With interest at record levels, we’ve decided to announce next year’s venue and dates early so CLIA members can mark their diaries.”
Cruise360 Australasia 2025 is backed by headline sponsor Visit Qatar, with further support from CLIA cruise lines and executive partners.
