The festival, in association with Virgin Voyages, will take place between 7-9 December and will be a virtual event, enabling agents from across the UK and Ireland to join.
As with previous TTG New to Cruise Festivals, the event is aimed at those new to selling cruise, or who have sold a limited number of cruises in the past and are keen to broaden their knowledge and understanding of the industry.
The festival will kick off at 9.30am on Tuesday 7 December with a seminar featuring cruise line chiefs discussing top tips and tools for agents wanting to tap into the sector, as well as the latest news and developments in cruise.
