CLIA’s Flagship RiverView Conference returns in 2026 – bringing together travel agents with the river cruise community, associated stakeholders and media – for a 3-day celebration of the sector, shining a spotlight on the opportunities presented by global river cruising.

The 2026 CLIA RiverView Conference will take place from Sunday 8 – Tuesday 10 March in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, supported by our Headline Sponsors, Travel Weekly and Mail Metro Media. The Conference Business sessions will take place at the Muziekgebouw, with the Networking Trade Fair & Masterclasses being held at the Movenpick Hotel, both moments from the river ships that will be docked nearby.

A total of 9 river cruise operators will have ships moored in Amsterdam and available for agents to visit across two days. Delegates will spend two nights onboard the ships, with hosted dinners and evening entertainment. Overnight host brands include AmaWaterways, VIVA Cruises, Emerald Cruises, Riviera Travel, TUI River Cruises, Avalon Waterways and Amadeus River Cruises, with Uniworld Boutique River Cruises and Riverside Luxury Cruises additionally available to view as part of the ship tour programme. All other CLIA river cruise operators will be attending, plus a selection of associated businesses, all available to meet at the Networking Trade Fair.

Conference Business sessions hosted by CLIA’s Andy Harmer and Travel Weekly’s Lucy Huxley will include river cruise trends, marketing opportunities, innovation, new itineraries, and attracting first-time customers.

New-to-Selling River Cruise Masterclass:
