Setup

Launching soon!

Understanding the core of cruise retail is a key skill to be a successful cruise retail leader.  We will look at a range of topics in different sessions focusing on layout, density, product location, guest flow, marketing, visuals, marginality, brand positioning etc.

The core of this area is to give you a key overview into the way that cruise retail spaces are working, so as a leader you can optimise the different elements to make them work effectively.

Cruise Retail Events

Launching soon!

Trunk shows, raffles, seminars, grand openings, final calls, private viewings, demonstrations, countdowns, mega days, preview, pre-orders, happy hours....

The range and scope of cruise retail events is one of the most exciting, unique and dynamic parts of the industry, and learning how to lead these is a key skill for an effective cruise retail manager.  In these sessions, we will learn from the masters of the event as they tell us how they were effectively able to make the best events, the best setups and the best teams to make their cruise retail events as successful as yours can be.

We also get brands who are the masters of their trade to talk through how to make their specific brand events a real success.
