The event, which will take place at the Meliá Castilla Hotel in Madrid on November 14th and 15th, will focus on the present and future of the global cruise industry.

The International Cruise Summit has established itself as one of the most influential conferences in Europe specialized in the cruise industry on a global scale. It is also the only event of its kind on our continent that shares industry knowledge at a global level with its attendees every year.

In this ever-changing world we live in, ICS 2023 Madrid stands as Europe’s premier cruise conference, addressing fundamental industry issues and recognizing key areas that different companies should focus on in the coming year.

By bringing together delegates from all subsectors of the industry, Grupo Verlio sees this as an ideal opportunity to gain new insights, connect with others, and formulate future strategies. That’s why we decided to be a part of this community as attendees and sponsors.

This edition aims to provide an up-to-date overview of the main factors influencing future decision-making, both in the short, medium, and long term. This year’s event agenda will include geopolitical topics affecting cruise itineraries, sustainability, new development challenges, and the overall market evolution that requires a reevaluation of business strategies.

ICS is a mix of presentations, panels, games, events, and networking opportunities, including the Food & Drinks ICS party, exclusively sponsored by Grupo Verlio since 2015, for speakers, sponsors, and media on November 14th at 8:00 PM.

The program kicks off on November 14th with a panel discussion about the future of the cruise industry and continues with several interesting presentations covering market trends, sales and marketing strategies, sustainability, mental health, European regulations, and itineraries. The event will conclude with an open Q&A session for the various experts who participated in panels and a farewell brunch where you can engage with speakers and other industry attendees.

This is a conference that Verlio considers essential to stay up to date with industry developments and challenges. That’s why we invite you to attend and immerse yourselves in the various solutions proposed to address the challenges we face in the cruise industry.
