The Southern Hemisphere’s largest cruise industry event, Cruise360 Australasia, will return to Sydney next year, with the 2026 conference locked in for 17–18 September at the International Convention Centre (ICC) Sydney.

Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) has confirmed the two-day format will continue following the record-breaking success of the 2023 Sydney event, which drew more than 800 delegates from across the cruise and travel sectors.

Meanwhile, the 2025 edition of Cruise360, set to take place in Brisbane for the first time, is on the brink of selling out. The conference, held at the Royal International Convention Centre on 27–28 August 2025, marks the debut of the two-day schedule for the Queensland audience.

CLIA Australasia Managing Director Joel Katz said the booming popularity of Cruise360 reflected the growing strength and optimism of the cruise industry.

“Cruise360 Australasia has become the cruise community’s unmissable annual gathering, and demand continues to exceed expectations,” said Mr Katz. “With interest at record levels, we wanted to give members plenty of time to plan ahead by announcing next year’s dates and venue early.”

Tickets for the 2026 conference will go on sale next year.

The 2025 Brisbane event is supported by headline sponsor Visit Qatar, alongside CLIA member cruise lines, executive partners, and other industry sponsors.
