The Florida-Caribbean Cruise Association (FCCA) 2026 PAMAC Cruise Summit concluded last week with strong engagement and a renewed sense of purpose for the future of Caribbean cruise tourism.
From January 5-9, Carnival Glory was transformed into a floating conference venue, bringing together senior cruise line executives, FCCA Platinum members, and key destination partners for an intensive program focused on strengthening collaboration between ship and shore. The summit’s signature business format delivered a series of strategic meetings and high-value one-on-one sessions, widely praised by participants for driving meaningful dialogue and actionable outcomes.
Discussions throughout the week centred on core industry priorities, including optimizing shore operations, enhancing destination partnerships, and elevating the overall passenger journey to meet evolving traveller expectations. Complementing the formal agenda, networking receptions and site visits to Carnival’s Celebration Key and Nassau, Bahamas, provided additional opportunities to deepen relationships and advance shared goals.
As the voyage wrapped at Port Canaveral, momentum among FCCA Platinum members and cruise industry executives was strong, fuelled in large part by the exceptional hospitality and support of the entire Carnival Corporation & plc team.
