LAST week’s National Cruise Week saw many special events held right across Australia in which the fastest growing holiday market continued its annual promotions. One such event was conducted by Cruisescene and Donna Barlow Travel in the form of their second annual Cruise Expo on the weekend. Representatives from 11 different cruise lines were in attendance, showcasing their wares to a collective audience of more than 130 people. Over the course of the day, all suppliers took turns conducting presentations, answering questions and meeting with existing, returning and new clients, with many bookings made. By all accounts, the day was a major success as all eyes turned to the 2014 edition, likely to be bigger and better than ever.
