Celebrity Cruises has introduced a new incentive for UK and Ireland travel agents.
- Agents will receive a £50 bonus for every three bookings of Europe 2025 itineraries in September.
- Existing rewards platform continues to provide £5 per booking, enhancing agent benefits.
- Additional perks include passenger fare discounts, airfare savings, and stateroom upgrades.
- The offer aims to boost European cruise bookings while introducing new ports for 2025.
Celebrity Cruises has unveiled a strategic incentive designed to enhance engagement among travel agents in the UK and Ireland. This new initiative offers a £50 bonus for every three Europe 2025 bookings made within the month of September 2024. The incentive is poised to motivate agents to amplify their sales efforts during this period.
In addition to this bonus, agents continue to benefit from the ongoing £5 reward per booking through the Celebrity Rewards platform. This platform serves as a foundation for agents to further accrue rewards, which can subsequently be converted into shopping and travel vouchers or added to a specialised Mastercard for additional agent value.
Complementing the agent incentive, Celebrity Cruises is offering a 60% discount on second passenger fares for selected voyages. This discounted fare applies to new bookings made before November 7, 2024, providing a compelling reason for travellers to consider an early booking.
Airfare reductions further bolster the attractiveness of these cruise options, with direct flights to Europe available from £199 per person on select 2025 itineraries. These savings align with Celebrity’s strategy to make European cruises more accessible and appealing to a broader market.
Moreover, upgrades have been introduced for bookings, including the option to incorporate drinks and Wi-Fi at £59 per day per person. Passengers opting for selected 2025 sailings on the Celebrity Apex will also benefit from complimentary car parking in Southampton, applicable for new bookings in qualifying staterooms made by October 6, 2024.
The upcoming 2025 European itineraries feature sailings on the Celebrity Ascent and Celebrity Apex, highlighting an impressive roster of nearly 100 destinations, enriched with 48 overnight stays. New ports such as Trondheim, Bar, and Djúpivogur have been added to expand the cruise line’s offerings, thereby enhancing its allure to potential passengers.
This incentive framework aims to significantly bolster bookings and agent engagement, while presenting enriched travel opportunities for consumers.
