The wave period brought exciting rewards for Celebrity Cruises’ top travel partners.
- The sales team travelled to present £500 to 100 outstanding agents.
- Agents were also invited aboard the Celebrity Apex or Silhouette for a day.
- Additional bonuses were available for new bookings and new-to-cruise agents.
- The initiative sets the stage for Celebrity Apex’s debut in Southampton.
During this year’s wave period, Celebrity Cruises recognised the outstanding achievements of its top travel partners. In a noteworthy move, the sales team personally visited and rewarded 100 agents with £500 each, acknowledging their exceptional performance. This gesture forms part of the broader Celebrity Moments agent incentive programme, aimed at enhancing agents’ motivation and potential earnings.
In addition to the monetary award, the highest-performing agents received the unique opportunity to step aboard the Celebrity Apex or Celebrity Silhouette for a day, accompanied by a guest. This initiative aims to deepen their firsthand experience of the offerings, thereby equipping them with richer insights to share with prospective clients and enhance customer engagement.
Furthermore, the programme included a dynamic bonus structure. Agents who managed to secure five new bookings were entitled to an additional £50, an initiative set to encourage and boost booking activities. Those new to the cruising industry were not left out, as they benefitted from a £25 bonus for their first three confirmed bookings, fostering their integration into the industry.
Claire Stirrup, Celebrity Cruises’ senior sales director for EMEA, expressed her delight regarding the programme’s success and the enthusiastic response from travel agents across the UK and Ireland. “We look forward to welcoming travel partners onboard our ships this summer,” she stated, noting the extensive ship visit schedule and seminars at sea planned to inspire agents about future possibilities with Celebrity Cruises.
This campaign comes in anticipation of the Celebrity Apex’s first UK homeport season in Southampton, scheduled for the summer of 2024. Such efforts are indicative of the company’s proactive approach in engaging and incentivizing agents while promoting enhanced customer experiences.
This initiative reflects Celebrity Cruises’ commitment to rewarding excellence and preparing for an exciting upcoming season.
