Agents working with Celebrity Cruises are presented with an opportunity to boost their remuneration as the company rolls out a new initiative for the Black Friday period. This initiative is designed to reward travel agents with up to £40 for each booking made, offering a substantial incentive for bookings made between 16 November and 5 December 2023.
The scheme enables agents to double their Celebrity Rewards points, marking a strategic move by Celebrity Cruises to incentivise and express gratitude towards their partners in a competitive market. This reward structure includes £40 per booking for The Retreat, with diminishing returns for AquaClass, Concierge, Balcony, Interior, and Oceanview staterooms, respectively.
Senior sales director Claire Stirrup highlights the company’s dedication to ensuring travel partners feel supported and engaged, especially as booking periods become increasingly competitive. Stirrup emphasises the importance of maintaining motivation among agents, viewing the Black Friday period as a crucial time for reinforcing partnerships.
The innovative double points scheme coincides with a customer-facing promotion where clients can enjoy up to 75% off the second guest and an additional $600 onboard credit per stateroom. Such promotions are valid for most itineraries setting sail before April 2025, thereby enhancing the attractiveness of booking through Celebrity Cruises.
In a recent development, Celebrity Cruises accepted delivery of its fourth Edge series vessel, Celebrity Ascent, and also announced the name of the fifth ship in the class, underscoring their ongoing expansion and commitment to innovation.
This strategic initiative not only enhances agent commissions but also solidifies Celebrity Cruises’ position as a supportive partner in the travel industry.
