The River and Ocean Luxury Cruise Shows are back for 2018!
On Thursday 8th March 2018 we held our first River and Ocean Luxury Show of 2018 at the stunning Old Thorns Golf and Country Estate in Liphook, and fortunately we were graced with perfect weather for the perfect venue.
The event was free for all to attend, and guests received either a complimentary cup of tea, coffee, glass of Prosecco, or orange juice upon arrival, while being able to take in the beautiful surroundings of the hotel’s estate.
We saw representatives of over 18 of our partnered river and ocean luxury cruise lines attend the show, all of whom were on hand to educate our guests on their brands and spark up some valuable and insightful conversations. As well as this we had our very own Planet Cruise weekly presenter, Keith Maynard, with us to provide guests with some very helpful and inspirational talks.
Highlights of the day included expert presentations, exclusive show discounts, and a prize draw competition in which entrants were in with the chance of winning a cruise - courtesy of Saga Ocean Cruises.
