Travel Weekly's CruiseWorld returns to the Broward County Convention Center in Fort Lauderdale Nov. 4 to 6. Registration is now open.
The annual event offers something for advisors at every level, including supplier trainings, immersive networking opportunities, ship tours, dynamic general sessions and a trademark exhibitor showcase. New this year is an elevated educational track tailored to multimillion-dollar producers and agency owners.
Designed to support today's evolving travel advisor, the 2026 program addresses the challenges professionals face at every stage of their careers while reinforcing the critical advisor-supplier relationship.
"We strive to meet the needs of our diverse and ever-changing travel advisor audience at CruiseWorld," said Mary Pat Sullivan, executive vice president of marketing and partnerships for Northstar Travel Group. "We're excited to bring new sessions, relevant topics and fresh content to the stage."
Returning in 2026 is the popular Masterminds Panel, where top industry executives share insights on how advisors can grow their sales with each brand and strengthen their position in the industry.
Peer-to-peer sessions will take place on Friday, Nov. 6. These breakout sessions, consistently a highlight of CruiseWorld, give both emerging and experienced advisors the opportunity to learn from one another across key areas, such as marketing, sales, social media, product development, professional growth and supplier relationship building. Check out the 2025 sessions.
Attendees can also participate in an interactive think tank, collaborating with peers to exchange ideas, share successful strategies and seek solutions to common challenges.
Supplier-sponsored workshops will be held on Nov. 4 and 5, offering insights from destinations, cruise lines, and other partners on new products and programs.
Also returning is CruiseWorld's popular Select Travel Advisor Recognition (STAR) Program, designed for an elite group of attendees. The 2025 program sold out, and interested advisors are encouraged to apply early.
Ship tours will be offered following the event on Nov. 7 and 8.
Meanwhile, the 2026 supplier roster for the exhibitor showcase continues to grow, with airlines, cruise lines, destinations, hotels and resorts, professional services, tour operators, host agencies, consortia, travel insurance providers, and more expected to be well represented on the show floor.
