If cruising the oceans and seas is your ideal holiday then you won’t want to miss the chance to connect directly with the cruise operator experts at the Noosa Cruise Expo on Friday 1 March at Noosa Springs Gold and Spa Resort.

Attendees will be able to compare all cruise types from rivers, oceans, expeditions, canal cruises, self-drive canal rental boat and yacht charters.

The one-day Expo will exhibit 19 brands from the best cruise operators, including Ponant – Oceania – European Waterways – Le Boat – Regent – Scenic – Evergreen – Silversea – Viking – Sun Island Tours – Avalon – Winstar – Crystal – Riviera – Star Clipper – Holland America – Seabourn – Tauck – Royal Caribbean – Celebrity – Azamarra and iExpedition.

These cruise partners provide the perfect opportunities for romantic escapades, adventurous expeditions for lovers of nature, solo travellers, family holidays to suit everyone on board and charter boats for groups of friends.

“Cruising continues to be the largest growing holiday market for Australians and globally,” event organiser Christian Blondeau said. “One out of four new travel enquiries includes some type of cruise as part of our clients’ itinerary.

“Small to very large ships of all standards are launched each year to respond to the demand and cater to everyone’s budget and personal needs.”

Travel presenter Catriona Rowntree will also be making an appearance at 9am to launch her new book, The Best of World Cruising, and will deliver a presentation at 9.30am and answer questions on cruising.

The free expo will be held from 10am to 3pm at Noosa Springs and be sure to take advantage of on-the-day deals and go in the draw to win a seven day Le Boat canal cruise in France along with other prizes.
