The 2025 CLIA RiverView Conference will take place from Saturday 8 – Monday 10 March in Budapest, Hungary, returning to the Danube river, supported by our Headline Sponsors, Travel Weekly and Mail Metro Media. The Conference Business sessions and Networking Trade Fair will be held at the Marriott Hotel, situated perfectly on the banks of the river, moments from the river ships that will be docked nearby.

A total of 6 river cruise operators will have ships moored in Budapest 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 Riviera Travel, VIVA Cruises, Scenic, AmaWaterways & TUI River Cruises, with 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.
