Paradise Island, Bahamas - Atlantis, Paradise Island continues to strengthen its relationship with the cruise industry by hosting over two hundred members of the Florida-Caribbean Cruise Association (FCCA) and several prominent cruise lines executives as part of the annual FCCA Platinum Cruise in late January.

The FCCA Platinum Cruise allows the FCCA Platinum Associate Membership Council (PAMAC), a group of cruise executives and Platinum Members, to discuss present FCCA developments, accomplishments and individual business plans from select Platinum Members.

“We are honored to host the FCCA, who continue to support us as a popular destination for the cruise industry,” says Henry Bain, Atlantis Paradise Island, Director of Sales and Marketing.”

The Florida-Caribbean Cruise Association (FCCA) is a not-for-profit trade organization composed of 14 Member Cruise Lines operating more than 100 vessels in Floridian, Caribbean and Latin American waters. Created in 1972, the FCCA’s mandate is to provide a forum for discussion on legislation, tourism development, ports, tour operations, safety, security and other cruise industry issues. By fostering an understanding of the cruise industry and its operating practices, the FCCA seeks to build cooperative relationships with its partner destinations and to develop productive bilateral partnerships with every sector.

The FCCA works with governments, ports and all private/public sector representatives to maximize cruise passenger, cruise line and cruise line employee spending, as well as enhancing the destination experience and the amount of cruise passengers returning as stay-over visitors.
