Scenic is embarking on an innovative endeavour to bolster agent engagement by welcoming fifty travel agents aboard the Scenic Eclipse during its scheduled visits across the UK and Ireland. This exclusive opportunity invites participants to gain unprecedented access to the vessel, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation of the ultra-luxury cruise experience.
The events are scheduled to occur at strategic locations; Isle of Man on June 6, Dublin on June 7, Portrush on June 8, and Aberdeen on June 14. Attendees are afforded the luxury of experiencing a luncheon on board, coupled with a comprehensive tour of the ship’s facilities. This includes a closer look at the Scenic Neptune, the vessel’s remarkable submersible feature that has garnered significant interest.
Nick Hughes, the Director of Sales, Partnerships and Strategic Growth at Scenic, highlighted the impactful role that previous media coverage has played in enhancing the vessel’s market visibility. The Scenic Eclipse’s exposure on ‘Cruising with Susan Calman’ earlier this year has been particularly instrumental in driving both bookings and brand recognition, prompting Scenic to extend these prestigious invites to select agents.
In alignment with this initiative, Scenic and Emerald Cruises are set to host additional familiarisation trips on their European river cruise itineraries. These excursions are meticulously crafted to equip agents with firsthand experience, thus empowering them to effectively market and sell these premium travel products.
“Scenic Eclipse must be experienced personally to fully appreciate its unparalleled luxury,” Hughes remarked, underscoring the significance of personalised invitations to these events. Furthermore, Scenic is committed to providing a comprehensive suite of training sessions and webinars for agents, ensuring they are well-versed in the features and offerings of this luxury cruise line.
This strategic engagement with agents is poised to strengthen Scenic’s market presence and boost sales through immersive, firsthand experiences.
