Reykjavik hosts the Cruise Europe conference next May

The chance to attend the Cruise Europe conference (CEC) and visit Iceland next May (26-29th) is not one to be missed.

Hosts Faxafloahafnir/Faxaports have already uploaded details on to the CE website and are encouraging members to sign up early as Iceland is a popular destination at this time of year. Special rates are available for those attending the conference.

The conference itself will be held at the Harpa Concert Hall and Conference Centre which is within 10 minutes’ walk of the four partner hotels: Parliament Hotel, Hotel Reykjavik Saga, Exeter Hotel and City Center Hotel Reykjavik.

The Reykjavik Cruise Terminal at Skarfabakki will host delegates to an informal dinner on the first evening but an invitation has also been issued to everyone to stay on for the official opening festival on the Friday night. I am sure many of us will be keen to not only extend our stays for this but also to see more of Iceland.

The gala dinner will take place at Gamla Bio, a historic cinema established in the early 20th century with preceding drinks at the rooftop bar.
