Open for Business with the Cruise Industry: FCCA Cruise Conference and Trade Show Registration Begins

Miramar, FL (July 2, 2025) – Registration is officially open for the FCCA Cruise Conference and Trade Show, the only official cruise conference taking place in and representing the Caribbean, Mexico, and Central America. Taking place in San Juan, Puerto Rico from October 20-24, preparations are ramping up, including many of the 100 expected cruise executives already confirmed – and now is the time to register and lock in opportunities like one-on-one meetings, discounted rates, and the official hotels.

“This is the only event in the region that puts any attendee in direct contact with cruise executives that can drive business,” said Micky Arison, Chairman, Carnival Corporation & plc and FCCA.

“We are proud of this event’s continued success for attendees and so many throughout the Caribbean, Mexico and Central America,” said Michele Paige, CEO, FCCA. “The FCCA Cruise Conference and Trade Show has been the birthplace of everything from new tours to entire destination developments, so we are excited about what this year can bring for all.”

The Conference’s core is built around one-on-one meetings between delegates and cruise executives, with 15-minute sessions to pitch products to and receive individualized input from those who decide where ships call, what sells onboard, and how to invest in destinations and infrastructure.

Anyone registering by August 31 has eligibility to schedule these meetings, with the event looking to break another record after a consecutive four years since the revamped format putting the meetings in the spotlight – and last year’s record featuring more than 940.

The ’early-bird discount’ also runs until August 31, after which prices will slightly increase until registration closes on October 18. On-site registration will be available, but the rate will be at a premium due to potential extra costs for food, transportation, and other event logistics.

Additionally, there still is (extremely) limited availability in the Official Conference Hotel, Sheraton Puerto Rico Resort & Casino, and its alternate, Aloft San Juan, where many cruise executives will gather before and after official events.

More information – including workshop topics and panelists, along with potential exclusive networking functions – will be released shortly. For more information and registration, please visit www.FCCAConference.com.
