With attendees and partners registered and eager to Cruise Forward at CruiseWorld Asia 2026, the premier cruise industry conference in Asia is set to make bigger waves across the cruise ecosystem.
Ahead of CruiseWorld Asia 2026, which takes place at Pan Pacific Singapore on 16 September, Travel Weekly Asia brings together ecosystem partners you do not want to miss at the event.
1. The wayfinders
These are the cruise lines designing itineraries and experiences to keep travellers dreaming of holidays at sea. At CruiseWorld Asia 2026, movers and shakers such as Disney Cruise Line, Royal Caribbean and StarDream Cruises will catch participants up on the latest cruise products and itineraries – and give the industry its next big stories to tell and sell.
2. The growth enablers
As cruise lines design journeys in Asia, destinations and ports are stepping up as enablers of new sailing paths to cater to maturing demand in the region. Destinations also play an important role as storytellers, anchoring tourists' hunger for discovery on shore and presenting them with gateways to culture, food, heritage and fresh reasons to extend the journey.
Hear from the players enabling new paths and shaping new demand when you meet Penang Global Tourism, Singapore Tourism Board, the Philippine Department of Tourism and Marina Bay Cruise Centre at CruiseWorld Asia 2026.
3. The connectors in the sky and on land
Regional and longhaul fly-cruising is taking off in Asia. This is why CruiseWorld Asia is welcoming first-time fly-cruise partners Malaysia Airlines and Railbookers this year. Alongside agents and intermediaries, they stand as bridge-builders in the ecosystem, giving cruisegoers more reason to venture farther and broaden their cruising horizons.
4. The hotels on shore
These are the hotel suppliers that make pre- and post-cruisegoers feel at home on shore. At CruiseWorld Asia 2026, meet Resorts World Sentosa, which seamlessly extends the entertainment-packed integrated hospitality of cruises on shore. For a different rhythm, Momentus Hotel Alexandra sweeps cruisegoers into the heart of the island, where local encounters and refined hospitality await.
5. The product evangelists
Last but never least: your fellow travel agents, marketers and peers. They are the planners, product evangelists and momentum-drivers with the skills to translate all that product and destination knowledge into real customer conversations. CruiseWorld Asia will present this tight-knit community with a collaborative space to exchange insights, discuss learnings and takeaways, and keep the ties strong to shape a better industry.
The stage is set for conversation, knowledge-exchange and partnership to Cruise Forward as an industry. Find out more: CruiseWorld Asia 2026 - Cruise Forward.
