Celestyal has introduced a new trade packaging solution in the UK, in partnership with Aviate.
- Named Celestyal Holidays, the initiative promises flight-inclusive deals with attractive commissions for agents.
- Exclusive packages facilitate tailor-made tours, featuring regional flights and additional stay options.
- The launch aims to strengthen Celestyal’s commitment to the UK market by simplifying booking processes.
- A celebratory incentive includes £20 vouchers and prize draws for early bookings.
Celestyal, in collaboration with Aviate, has launched a dedicated trade packaging solution specifically for the UK market. This new initiative, named Celestyal Holidays, offers exclusive flight-inclusive packages and generous commission rates for travel agents. The aim is to enhance the ability of agents to create tailor-made packages that include regional flights, pre and post-cruise stays, and any itinerary desired, all within a straightforward booking system protected by Aviate’s ATOL license.
A typical package might combine a seven-night Idyllic Aegean cruise with return flights from London Heathrow to Athens via Sky Express, adding a pre-cruise hotel stay in Piraeus and private transfers to and from the airport. These options are designed to provide comprehensive travel solutions while remaining competitively priced, with starting figures around £1,400 per person based on a departure in July 2023 from the UK.
To celebrate the launch of this service, Celestyal has introduced an incentive scheme that awards agents a £20 voucher for every booking made before the end of April. Additionally, such bookings are entered into a draw to win two tickets to ‘*Mamma Mia! The Party*’ at the O2 with an overnight hotel stay, or a place on a familiarisation trip aboard Celestyal Journey, the new ship in their fleet.
Lee Haslett, Celestyal’s Chief Commercial Officer, expressed his enthusiasm about how this launch meets the demands of their agents, offering packages that are easy to book and excellent value for money, with the added security of ATOL protection. He highlighted this venture as part of Celestyal’s strategic investment to bolster their growth objectives in the UK while providing robust support to their trade partners.
Aviate’s Chief Operations Officer, Jayne Bond, echoed this sentiment, expressing excitement over the launch of these ATOL-bonded packages. She assured that an expert team is in place to support travel agents through the booking process, ensuring an efficient and seamless experience.
Celestyal Holidays is set to enhance the UK travel trade by providing tailored, secure, and incentivised holiday packages.
