What do you get when 120 Canadian travel advisors come together on a chartered river cruise for a week of learning and discovery?

One standout conference full of valuable connections and fresh inspiration for future bookings.

Last November, PAX joined travel pros on the Rhine River aboard the Avalon Panorama for Avalon Waterways’ third annual River Cruise Summit, hosted in partnership with the Association of Canadian Travel Agencies and Travel Advisors (ACTA).

The exciting event—chosen from more than 450 applicants—highlighted the festive charm of Christmas markets in Switzerland, Germany, and France.

Along with destination tours, attendees took part in daily networking sessions, expert-led workshops, and content-creation opportunities, all designed to support advisors in the growing river cruise market.

Couldn’t be there? Or ready to revisit the experience?

The summit’s official recap video, produced by Pax Global Media, is out now! Watch it here.
