Discover Seatrade Cruise Med

Once every two years, the cruise lines deploying in the Mediterranean sit down with the ports, destinations, tour operators, shipyards, agents and suppliers that keep their itineraries running. Two days of meetings, conference and the kind of chance conversations that turn into 2027 contracts.

And this year, the industry gathers in Las Palmas Cruise Port. A new, authentic way to experience Seatrade Cruise Med.
