This show is the show of the year for us. We get to meet within three days the people that you may not meet otherwise.

A true unique opportunity to meet all together colleagues and vendors, definitely a place to be for this industry.

The 2005 Seatrade Cruise Shipping Convention was exceptionally useful and productive for me again this year. It was my 2nd year at the convention so I was able to navigate the convention easily and meet more Suppliers than last year. I am confident that next year will be even better!

Best Show in the Cruise Industry! I made crucial contacts that will result in orders in a very timely manner.

My first time at Seatrade. The concentration of the people I needed to see, coupled with the new vendor opportunities, made this a great conference.

This was my first Seatrade Miami show, and it exceeded my expectations. It is a perfect opportunity to network with associates, renew acquaintances, and meet with important industry executives. The sessions are of tremendous value for getting a better understanding of where the industry is headed. If you plan your time carefully, it can be a tremendously valuable week. I recommend it to anyone in the business. You cannot afford to miss it.
