Over 150 lucky Cruise Passenger readers attended the event of the year, The River Cruise Collective Showcase in Sydney last week.

Attendees heard from four leading luxury river cruise lines, AmaWaterways, Avalon Waterways, Tauck, and Uniworld Boutique River Cruises about the joys of river cruising while enjoying a scrumptious high tea and cocktails at Sydney’s five-star, Langham Hotel.

As a bonus, two lucky guests each won a night’s stay at The Langham Hotel, valued over $560 per night.

The four cruise lines outlined each of their best features, destinations and were on hand to answer tricky questions. It was a great opportunity for attendees to compare the river cruise operators and choose the best one that suited their travel style. Guests were also treated to special offers from each cruise line, exclusive to event goers.
