AAA Travel Brings First-Of-Its-Kind Cruise Show to Washington

Free, live virtual presentations explore the future of cruising in 2021 and beyond

BELLEVUE, Wash. (September 22, 2020) — AAA’s 2020 Fall Cruise Show is a first-of-its-kind event — with consumers attending from the comfort of their own homes. In a series of live, virtual presentations, AAA travel experts and representatives from top cruise line companies educate attendees about cruising in the future — from health and safety protocols to insider deals on incredible destinations for 2021 and beyond.

“Our fall and winter cruise shows are always popular events,” said AAA Director of Travel Products, Lisa Anciaux. “We have partnered with the best cruise lines in the industry to make this unique experience as equally fun, educational and exciting as any traditional in-person event.”

Anciaux opens the show, Thursday, October 1 (10:30 a.m. and 5 p.m.), addressing the big question on the minds of all travelers: “What to Expect from Cruising in the Future.” She will share the latest on health and safety protocols plus any updates on booking and cancellation policies.

Each 30-minute presentation at the virtual show concludes with a question and answer period. Alongside AAA’s travel experts, representatives from 17 different cruise lines will share information about added ports of call, offer insight into various cruising styles and provide a sneak peek at new ship features.

To attend this virtual multi-day show, head to AAA.com/events. This website contains the show schedule, presentation details, and a registration link for each session you want to attend. Because October is cruise month, all virtual attendees will receive up to $100 in extra onboard credits per stateroom, save 15% more on travel store gear, accessories and luggage, plus special offers from featured cruise lines.
