Why Sponsor:
14 April 2021 - Next generation technology, from mobile apps to wearables, AR and AI, is shaping every aspect of the cruise journey, from pre-holiday planning through disembarking and rebooking:
- $23.5bn has been invested in new technologies - many cruise ships now have 7,000+ sensors to enable enhanced guest experiences.
- 74% of cruisers are likely to cruise in the next few years, with two out of three willing to cruise within a year. Your tech could be the difference maker.
Seatrade Cruise Virtual: Tech & Innovation will bring together the sector’s brightest minds to tackle cruise technology’s toughest challenges and biggest opportunities - these are conversations you don't want to be left out of.
