Pictured the Tourism Solomons team attending the 2026 Seatrade Cruise Global in Miami last week.

Annually attracting more than 11,500 attendees, including 650 exhibitors, 80 cruise line brands, and representatives from 125 countries, Seatrade Cruise Global is widely recognised as the most influential annual forum for cruise tourism development, infrastructure planning, and commercial partnerships.

The team’s visit is seen as opportunistic given it follows hot on the heels of an upswing in cruise ship numbers visiting the Solomon Islands throughout 2026 and increased attention from cruise lines planning to include the Solomon Islands in their itineraries in 2027.
