Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) has announced a new partnership with Singapore Airlines, who have thrown their support behind the cruise industry coming aboard as an Executive Partner, and named as Headline Sponsor at the 19th annual Cruise Industry Awards being held on 15 February 2020.
“Singapore Airlines operates at the heart of a region that offers enormous potential for cruising, connecting the rapidly developing destinations of Asia with the thriving cruise markets of Australia and New Zealand,” said CLIA Australasia managing director Joel Katz. “As the world’s number-one rated airline on TripAdvisor, two years running, Singapore Airlines is an exceptional partner for the cruise industry and an important link to cruise destinations across its global network.”
Singapore Airlines Regional Vice President South West Pacific, Mr Philip Goh, said SIA was very pleased to support CLIA as well as become the Headline Sponsor of the Cruise Industry Awards.
“The cruising and airline industries are intertwined and this newly formed partnership allows us to enhance and further strengthen the close working relationship we’ve had with the cruising industry for many years,” Mr Goh said.
“Cruising, whether it be ocean or river, provides a variety of options for all budgets and desires.
“With more than 160 flights a week from nine cities across Australia and New Zealand, SIA is pleased to have worked alongside the Cruise Industry to ensure our mutual customers not only reach their cruise, but get there in comfort thanks to our famous Singapore Airlines service.
“We look forward to continuing to strengthen our relationship with the industry and providing even more options to sell cruise packages with the option of a journey on SIA.”
