ASTA has reopened registration for the 2026 River Cruise Expo in Amsterdam after securing more docking space for ships.  

The conference will be held March 11 to 15. The expo had sold out in April, but the ASTA business development team secured additional docking space, enabling more people to attend. 

Fifteen river ships will be at the conference. 

Celebrity River Cruises and Trafalgar Tours will make their river cruise debuts at the conference, and attendees will get a first look at the new market entrants. 

The conference will have a two-day general session rather than just one, which ASTA says will "deepen the educational value for attendees." 

Author Elizbeth Gilbert, who wrote "Eat, Pray, Love," will deliver a keynote. Sarah Little, ASTA's senior vice president of business development, will be honored as godmother of the AmaSofia, AmaWaterways' newest ship.
