Ticketcrociere will participate in the Italian Cruise Day 2026

Ticketcrociere confirms its presence at the thirteenth edition of the Italian Cruise Day, the itinerant benchmark event for the national cruise industry conceived and organized by Risposte Turismo. The event, scheduled in Livorno on October 23rd, represents the moment of maximum discussion among ports, shipping companies, travel agencies, and supply chain players to outline the state of the art and future guidelines for the sector.

The Livorno forum, in addition to fostering networking among industry professionals, will address several crucial market topics: from the current state of cruising in Italy to an analysis of demand from new-generation travelers, and technologies that promise to improve the sector’s sustainability, from the use of LNG fuel to cold ironing in maritime hubs.

The Value of Data and the Centrality of Digital Consulting

For over 20 years, a reference agency for cruise purchases and a privileged observation point for the purchasing behavior of Italian users, Ticketcrociere will bring to Italian Cruise Day the experience of a business model that integrates traditional sales techniques with specialized consulting and the use of the latest technologies, essential for cross-referencing in real time the thousands of availabilities provided daily by cruise companies and submitting accurate and timely quotes to customers.

“It has been an overall positive year for cruise booking figures from Italy, even if the war in the Middle East first, and then other international conflicts, have repeatedly frozen some flows,” explains Matteo Lorusso, General Manager of Ticketcrociere. “Our Observatory tells us that the market is nevertheless growing decisively, bringing to light trends such as the increase in cruise prices, the greater demand for personalization of the onboard experience, the reduction in demand for interior cabins compared to exterior ones, and the importance of early booking over last minute. We will bring our data and our vision to Livorno, confident that we can contribute to a debate that unites those who sell the product with those who create it and manage the infrastructures.”

Commitment to Youth: Ticketcrociere at Carriere@ICD

In addition to offering a discussion on strategic market topics, Ticketcrociere’s presence is also renewed within Carriere@ICD, the collateral recruiting event scheduled at the end of the day’s program. The Ticketcrociere delegation will welcome recent graduates and young professionals under 30, selected by Risposte Turismo for one-to-one introductory interviews aimed at evaluating a career path in cruise consulting.
