CLIA Australasia is set to release a river cruise specific report in coming weeks, Brett Jardine, commercial director at Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) Australasia told CW.
In May, CLIA opted to remove river cruising from its annual cruise industry statistics to enable them to be comparable across regions worldwide (CW 26 May).
Meanwhile, president and ceo of CLIA global, Cindy D’Aoust said there’s “nothing currently in the works” for Viking Cruises to return to CLIA.
“Viking Cruises is obviously very reputable river cruise line, we’d love to have them part of our community, but it is down to their choice,” she said.
