The 2027 edition of Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) RiverView Conference will take place from 5-8 March and celebrate the event’s 15th anniversary with a two-night sailing to three capital cities along the Danube.
Attendees will be invited onboard one of three ships – AmaWaterways’ AmaSofia, Riviera Travel’s Riviera Radiance or Scylla Viva Cruises’ Viva Two – to sail from Budapest in Hungary to Vienna in Austria. The two-night cruise will also call in Bratislava, Slovakia, where participants can visit a networking trade fair will take place and join local excursions. There will also be the opportunity to experience the other two ships with an onboard lunch, as well as a final overnight stay in Vienna, the host city of a series of conference business sessions.
The guided tour programme will invite attendees to visit ships from Avalon Waterways, TUI River Cruises, Scenic and Riverside Luxury Cruises during the four-day event.
For 2027, there’s a new ‘Lite’ option for attendees who prefer a shorter schedule based solely in Vienna. From 6-8 March, they will be able to attend the business sessions and experience overnight stays on ships belonging to both TUI River Cruises and Avalon Waterways, as well as lunch on Scenic’s vessel. There will also be a supplier networking afternoon.
“RiverView is one of the highlights of the cruise calendar and we’re excited to mark its 15th anniversary in such a special way,” said Andy Harmer, managing director of CLIA UK & Ireland. “By incorporating a two-night sailing across three of the Danube’s great capital cities, delegates will be able to experience first-hand exactly what makes river cruising so appealing. From life onboard and time spent in destination to business sessions and networking opportunities, the programme has been designed to provide agents with invaluable insight and experiences. And our new 'Lite' option will give even more agents the opportunity to be part of the celebrations, while joining on a shorter itinerary.”
Registration will open during CLIA Cruise Week, which begins on 14 September 2026.
