The Med’s Centre Stage – The Adriatic, the Ionian and the Aegean Seas
Managing Giants: Cruise Deployment in the Mediterranean

Join us for the 9th Posidonia Sea Tourism Forum & Exhibition to be held on 11 & 12 of May 2027, in Rhodes, Greece. The largest of the Dodecanese group of islands, Rhodes, is an important cornerstone of Greece’s tourism industry and a very popular and a long-standing cruise port.

With an ever-changing geopolitical canvas and volatile fuel costs, cruise operators are constantly being called upon to navigate through challenging times. The uncertainty regarding the return of cruising in the Gulf further necessitates more viable itinerary solutions for winter cruising in the Mediterranean.

The Forum turns the spotlight on the destination-intense Adriatic, Ionian and Aegean Seas, and the strategic value of this region for year-round cruising that also offers significant fuel saving itinerary solutions.

Cruise line executives, tourism professionals, port operators and local stakeholders from across the whole of the region of the Central and Eastern Mediterranean will meet to discuss cruise trends, innovative port solutions, destination development and sustainable growth among other important industry topics.

The Conference and Exhibition offer a unique platform to discuss untapped opportunities and to network with key players in this incredible industry.
