Pre/Post-Expo FAM & Cruise Options

Accommodations and post-sailings can be booked through the Attendee Service Center. VIPs can start booking both on October 1, 2024, at noon ET. General admission attendees can select accommodations starting October 8, and post-sailings open October 10, both at noon ET.

Below are some key details to note as you make your bookings:

  • FAMs are a wonderful addition to our event. Due to limited number of availability, cabins will be booked ona first-come, first-served basis. 
  • If you are sharing a cabin with another person, for accommodations or post-cruises, only one of you needs to book. You will list the second person, whether they are attending the conference or not, as your guest.
  • Duplicate bookings with your guest will be automatically canceled.
  • Once you make your cabin selection and save it to your ASTA registration, please assume you are confirmed.
  • The cruise line you selected will be following up with you in early November, after registration closes, to collect additional demographic details and payment.
  • Cabins are booked on a first come first served basis. When inventory sells out, please note additional accommodations are provided at the Hilton Vienna Waterfront.
Registration for both accommodations onboard and post-cruise FAMs close on November 1, 2024. Changes will not be accepted after this point.
