Europe's largest cruise convention came to a successful close

More than 4,000 participants visited the high-class exhibition where over 250 exhibitors from over 50 nations, including numerous companies new to cruise, showcased their products and demonstrated innovations at The Seatrade Europe Cruise & River Cruise Convention. 

The Seatrade Europe Cruise & River Cruise Convention is held 24-26 September 2013 at Hamburg Messe in Germany.

The convention concluded Thursday that growth prospects for the European cruise industry continue to increase.

Seatrade Europe proved once again to be THE meeting point for the cruise industry in Europe. Richard J. Vogel, CEO of TUI Cruises said "Once again Seatrade Europe succeeded in bringing together the industry's top representatives in Hamburg. This event provides an ideal platform for networking and attracting new business”. Mark Robinson, Managing Director of Intercruises, confirmed "This event in Hamburg is extremely well organised. The ambience is perfect, as well. Nowadays there is a new cruise industry fair everywhere you turn, but Seatrade Europe continues to be the top event, simply because you don't get this colourful mix of exhibitors anywhere else.”
