Cruise Passenger’s the River Cruise Collective ‘Ask the Experts’ event will be returning in 2026.
And this year, we are doubling the fun. For two years now, our cocktail-and-canapés evenings have been a huge success in Sydney. It’s a chance for travellers who might be new to river cruising, or are looking for alternative itineraries, to get advice from some of the best experts in the industry.
This year, we are heading south to offer our river cruise friends in Melbourne to join in on the festivities.
These evenings are designed for you to mingle, shoulder-to-shoulder with like minded friends who can share their stories about cruising on the rivers of the world.
Grab a canapé and a refreshing glass of vino and prepare to be personally introduced to the CEOs and top national managers representing the cruise lines of AmaWaterways, Avalon Waterways, APT and Travelmarvel.
These are world-renowned cruise lines, known for their excellence in the field of exotic destinations, immersive itineraries, competitive rates, and fabulous service. But here’s the best part… that’s why they’re here personally!
Each of these cruise line representatives will have their moment to entice you on a journey with them, painting a picture of what a voyage with their cruise line would look like and why they are the best option for you. It’s like speed dating in the river cruise world.
There are also fabulous door prizes, travel gifts as well as goodie bags at the end of the evening.
The best part is that during the evening, there will be special deals and discounts our cruise line friends are offering, so you can book your next bucket list river cruise.
Angela Smith, Head of Marketing for Australia and New Zealand at AmaWaterways says “The AmaWaterways team love the events by the River Cruise Collective. It’s such a fun evening, mixing with people who love river cruising or are curious to learn more about what a glorious way to travel this is!
“We get to meet both guests who have already cruised with us, as well as potential future guests, to swap stories and to share a little of what makes AmaWaterways unique. We’re looking forward to teaming up with Rose again and taking everyone on a journey of river cruise exploration. By the time the evening wraps up, I’m sure we’ll have new river cruise converts!”
