Ahoy There! Calling all UK cruise bloggers and influencers!
As you may have seen over the past month I have been working closely with CLIA, the Cruise Line International Association, to promote their #choosecruise campaign. You’ll have seen that I’ve been on the CLIA Podcast as well as posting a number of things on social media to promote #Choosecruise. As a founding member, I’m so excited for the resources and opportunities it will give to all bloggers and influencers.
The #ChooseCruise Club
Today 
CLIA have announced their #ChooseCruise club, a platform dedicated for bloggers to engage and benefit from access to all CLIA’s resources. A number of bloggers have been working with CLIA over the past few months to develop a meaningful way for bloggers to be part of the CLIA family.
CLIA was established in 1975 and is the world’s largest cruise industry trade association, providing a unified voice and leading authority of the global cruise community. CLIA supports policies and practices that foster a safe, secure, healthy and sustainable cruise ship environment and is dedicated to promoting the cruise travel experience. It represents over 50 cruise lines, partners, over 15,000 travel agencies across the world and over 25,000 individual travel agent members.
Andy Harmer, CLIA UK & Ireland director, said: “We couldn’t be more thrilled to invite influencers to become members of our exclusive #ChooseCruise Club. We are confident that through this partnership we can help bloggers, vloggers and influencers create even more wonderful cruise content for their followers. This will be a fantastic way to work together to be able to show the world how wonderful a cruise holiday is.”
