Executive Partner Program

I have met a lot of cruise industry executives as a CLIA Executive Partner which is a unique opportunity that CLIA gives to its members.

— Franco Napp, CEO, Trieste Terminal Passeggeri

As a Gold Executive Partner, Aarhus has experienced CLIA as an extremely dedicated and business minded organisation which offers great value. CLIA provides a direct line to cruise line executives through unique networking opportunities enabling us to connect with key decision makers in the industry. We are fully engaged and CLIA creates a great environment for us to grow our business.

— Nicolai Krøyer, Chief Commercial Officer, Port of Aarhus

Being a Diamond Elite Executive Partner with CLIA has been hugely positive for Emirates. It not only gives direct access to key cruise line decision makers enabling us to widen our relationships, but also allows the opportunity to interact with members from all areas of the business. This has helped to grow our profile within the industry and maximise revenue potential. Emirates has an active growth strategy which matches what is currently happening within the Cruise industry. Being involved with CLIA has allowed Emirates to understand the strategic business issues the industry is facing and tailor make specific air lift solutions to help the growing worldwide reach of the industry. Last but not least, CLIA has assisted in showcasing and promoting Dubai and the wider Arabia region as a cruise destination, in order to grow the number of ship calls year on year.

CLIA represents every aspect of the global travel industry, providing multiple opportunities for networking. Plus, CLIA conferences and events are strongly supported by cruise line executives who make themselves readily available to Executive Partners.
