Welcome to CLIA’s Specialty Cruise Collection! I am very pleased to introduce you to the wonderful world of specialty cruising by way of CLIA’s 13 amazing small, river, coastal, luxury, adventure and sailing ship members. The CLIA Specialty Cruise Collection encompasses ves- sels, of all sizes and cruises experiences in spectacular and exotic destinations and at almost every price level, including ultra-luxury. Using the theme “Experience the World in a Different way,” members of the Collection, while distinctly differ- ent, offer guests the experience of interacting intimately with the world, its landscapes, cultures and people. I have personally been extremely impressed with the remark- able success, growth and popularity of specialty cruising and the highly favorable reputation these lines widely enjoy. We created this briefing document as a reference guide and resource tool to the Collec- tion and I hope you find it interesting and informative. Please do not hesitate to contact us if we can be of any additional assistance. Meanwhile, Happy Sailing!
