Monaco’s port operator, Société d’Exploitation des Ports de Monaco (SEPM), attended the world’s largest trade exhibition for cruise industry professionals.

The Monegasque stand provided the opportunity for the destination’s partners to meet clients and prospects. The delegation led by SEPM’s President, Aleco Keusseoglou, and CEO, Olivier Lavagna, also included Cruise Manager Colette Borgheresi-Gai and Pierre-Yves Canton, representing the Association Monégasque des Services à la Croisière (Monegasque cruise services association).

The Tourist and Convention Authority, alongside the prospecting operations carried out in Florida by the Authority’s Director, Guy Antognelli, and Head of Leisure Tourism Promotion, Laurence Aquilina, organised a dinner at NOBU Miami with V.SHIPS, the leading provider of services to cruise lines, which has a strong presence in the Principality.

The dinner is an annual event which brings together the Monegasque delegation with cruise industry decision-makers, allowing them to discuss all the latest developments and future challenges facing the sector.
