Registration Now Open for the FCCA Cruise Conference

The Florida-Caribbean Cruise Association (FCCA) has officially announced the opening of registrations for its highly anticipated Cruise Conference and Trade Show, which represents the only official gathering for the cruise industry in the Caribbean and Latin America. The event is set to take place in San Juan, Puerto Rico, from October 12 to 16, 2026.

Micky Arison, the chairman of Carnival Corporation and FCCA, emphasized the unique opportunity this event offers. "This is the only event in the region that allows any attendee to directly connect with cruise executives who can drive business outcomes."

The FCCA Conference promises a five-day agenda filled with workshops, networking sessions, and individual meetings with around 100 high-level executives from various cruise lines. This format encourages personal dialogue between delegates and decision-makers, fostering collaborations that can lead to new tour development, destination growth, and increased overall business strategies.

In the words of Michele Paige, executive director of FCCA, the conference has become a cornerstone for developing new tours and complete destination developments in the region. "We take pride in the ongoing success of this event for attendees and many throughout the Caribbean and Latin America. We are eager to see what this year will bring for everyone involved."

Individual Meetings and Early Registration Benefits

One of the core components of this conference is the provision of individual meetings between delegates and cruise executives. Each meeting consists of a 15-minute slot, allowing participants to present their products and gain personalized insights from those who decide on cruise stopovers, onboard sales, and investment opportunities in destinations and infrastructure.

Attendees who register before August 31 will be eligible to schedule these crucial one-on-one meetings, ensuring they can take full advantage of the networking potential available at the conference. The FCCA aims to set another record, following a successful five years of revamped formats focusing on these key interactions. Last year, they reached an impressive total of 1,030 meeting slots.

Additionally, there is an early bird discount available for those who register before the deadline. This financial incentive, along with the chance to schedule one-on-one meetings, adds greater value for early sign-ups. Pre-registration is open until October 11, although on-site registration will be available; however, it may incur additional fees due to potential costs like meals, transportation, and other logistics related to the event.

What to Expect at the Conference

Participants can expect an engaging agenda brimming with opportunities to showcase their products and interact with the leading figures in the cruise industry. This year, the FCCA Conference includes a variety of educational sessions aimed at empowering attendees with insights into trends and innovations within the cruise sector.
