Looking ahead, I’m beyond excited to be part of Seatrade Cruise’s unwavering commitment to innovation and excellence. On 7-10 April, we are once again returning to the Miami Beach Convention Center, Miami Beach, Florida – this time to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Seatrade Cruise Global – our flagship event. For four decades, Seatrade Cruise Global has been a driving force in the growth and expansion of the global cruise industry alongside its vibrant community, and I'm honoured to be part of this milestone celebration.

And guess what? There’s even more to look forward to in 2025! Seatrade Cruise is paving the way for a more sustainable tomorrow by adopting better event practices, all while motivating the broader cruise industry to align their efforts. We’ve got some great initiatives like Tomorrow’s Talent Today, which gives students free access to a specially-curated conference programme, and the Better Stands programme implemented with the aim to eliminate all disposable stands at this year’s event. Plus, we’re championing diversity and inclusion with our stellar speakers’ line-up. Partnering with our host cities and long-term charity partners is also key to continuously
supporting local development.

To top it all off, in celebration of our 40th anniversary, we’re bringing back the revitalized 20 under 40 honors program to put the spotlight on outstanding talent and celebrate key milestones within the cruise industry. We just have so much to celebrate!

I invite you to join me in Miami Beach for this historic occasion. Whether you're looking to connect with like-minded cruise professionals, meet with key decision-makers, or get up to speed with the latest trends and developments in the cruise industry - Seatrade Cruise Global brings it all under one roof. Together, let's celebrate our shared achievements and I am truly excited to see what’s in store for our future.

See you in Miami,

Chiara Giorgi

Global Brand Director of Seatrade Cruise
