Seatrade Cruise Global is listed for April 5 to 8, 2027 at the Miami Beach Convention Center. Seatrade Cruise Global is the cruise industry trade show. Cruise lines, ports, destinations, shipbuilders and onboard suppliers all exhibit. Graphink prints, delivers and installs graphics for exhibitors from our shop in Doral.
What Seatrade Cruise Global Is About
Miami is the home port of the industry, so this is its hometown show. Destinations and port authorities build large pavilions. Suppliers sell everything from galley equipment to entertainment technology.
What Exhibitors Need Here
Destination pavilions are built on photography. Large, clean images of a port or coastline do the selling.
- Large-format destination imagery on fabric
- Pavilion headers and hanging signs
- Brochures, port guides and catalogs
- Floor graphics and meeting area signage
The Show in Numbers
The 2026 edition was the largest in the show’s 41-year history. The organizer reported more than 12,500 attendees, over 650 exhibitors and more than 85 cruise brands, with 125 countries represented. Seatrade Cruise Global is run by Informa Markets.
The floor covers the whole supply chain. Ports and destinations take the largest spaces. Around them are shipyards, interior outfitters, food and beverage suppliers, technology companies, entertainment providers and shore excursion operators. Cruise line executives walk the floor as buyers, which is why even small suppliers invest in the booth.
Destination Pavilions and Supplier Booths
The two kinds of exhibitor need different things. A destination pavilion is a shared space for a tourism board, a port authority and a dozen local partners. It needs one strong visual identity, then matching name signs for every partner, and often a meeting area and a reception counter.
A supplier booth is selling a product to a cruise line purchasing team. It needs clear category signage, product photography and printed specifications that a buyer can take back to the office. Many suppliers also bring samples, so plinth signs and display labels matter.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you print very large seamless images?
Yes. Fabric graphics run wide enough for most back walls without a seam. Send the file and we will check resolution first.
Do you also work on ships or at the port?
We produce marine graphics and signage and install across Miami-Dade. Tell us the location and access rules.
We are a tourism board with several partners sharing the pavilion. Can you keep it consistent?
Yes. We work from one master design and produce matching headers and name signs for every partner, so the pavilion reads as one destination.
Can you print port guides and brochures in several languages?
Yes. We print supplied files in any language, in short or long runs.
Our pavilion ships from the Caribbean. What if it is delayed?
Send us the files as a backup before you ship. If the freight is late, we can print the graphics here in time for move-in.
