Seatrade Cruise Global 2019 Nears Return to Miami Beach

The time is now. This very moment—when the growth of the cruise industry has never been faster. And it presents a tremendous opportunity for those tasked with managing the record orderbook that lies ahead. From shipbuilding and ship fi ttings to electrical and ship operating systems, all the way through talent acquisition and sourcing, we’re planning the creation of the most revolutionary megaships the world has ever seen at Seatrade Cruise Global.

Seatrade Cruise Global 2019 is fast approaching and headed back to Miami Beach. With the entire industry eagerly anticipating its return to South Beach and the newly renovated Miami Beach Convention Center April 8–11, this year’s conference is anything but business as usual. Last year’s gathering drew more than 11,000 registered attendees, over 700 companies from 113 countries and over 250 international journalists. 2019 promises to be the largest to date.

Setting the course on April 9, the State of the Global Cruise Industry keynote will include a special conversation with Zurab Pololikashvili, Secretary-General of the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), who will discuss the future of sustainable tourism. The heads of the world’s largest cruise companies, Norwegian Cruise Line Ltd, Carnival Corporation, Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd and MSC Cruises, will then take the stage for a panel discussion moderated by BBC World News’ journalist Lucy Hockings. Hockings will drive the conversation to cover sustainability, technological innovations, environmental initiatives, emerging markets and much more.

Beyond the headlining State of the Global Cruise Industry, a full itinerary of 30+ panels and 50+ hours of roundtables and discussions will take place over four days. Attendees can also look forward to experiencing the world’s largest b2b cruise conference taking place all on one single exhibition floor. The impressively large, state-of-the-art space will not only unite the entire cruise world, but also feature dedicated neighborhoods for each sector allowing for attendees to quickly navigate and identify what is new for 2019. Across the floor, attendees will be presented with opportunities to establish new business relationships and discover new trends shaping the cruising seascape.

“The unparalleled scope of Seatrade Cruise Global make it the most significant cruise conference in the world,” shares Chiara Giorgi, Brand Director of Seatrade Cruise Global. “It is the only event that brings the entire industry together under one roof to share ideas and innovation, propelling it into the future.”
