About the Community
The Ports & Destinations community connects cruise industry professionals representing port authorities, terminal operators, port agents, destination management organizations, tourism boards, and travel services providers. This vibrant network collaborates to create exceptional shoreside experiences that become highlights of cruise itineraries and drive passenger satisfaction. Community members gain direct access to cruise line executives responsible for itinerary planning, port operations, and shore excursions, enabling strategic business development opportunities and insight into evolving cruise line requirements. By participating in this community, partners influence destination development strategies while showcasing their unique offerings to decision makers who shape where millions of cruise passengers travel each year.
As a lesser known destination looking to attract cruise to our community, the connectivity and access to the cruise line executives willing to have meaningful discussion exceeded any expectations.
