In an effort to enhance the efficiency and access to familiarisation (fam) trips, Riverside Luxury Cruises has joined forces with Jerne, a software company noted for its robust platforms. This strategic partnership aims to revolutionise how fam trips are facilitated, creating a more refined experience for travel advisors and their clientele. Agents can leverage this platform to apply for guided trips on over 500 Riverside voyages that traverse the magnificent Danube, Rhine, Rhône, Moselle, and Main rivers. This offering is available through December 2025, providing ample opportunities for firsthand exploration of Riverside’s luxurious travel experiences.
Jen Halboth, the chief executive of Riverside Luxury Cruises, emphasised the importance of this alliance by stating, ‘Partnering with Jerne gives us an efficient and effective platform to manage the vetting, application process, and marketing opportunity related to hosting travel advisors.’ Halboth speaks to the company’s respect for travel advisors, recognising their ‘indispensable role in creating unforgettable experiences’ for clients. The belief is that advisors who experience the product firsthand will be more effective in promoting and selling it, thus the drive for such an initiative.
Travel advisors with annual sales exceeding $1.5 million will receive preferred access to these exclusive fam opportunities, solidifying Riverside’s commitment to nurturing and recognising successful agents. Moreover, this collaboration allows Riverside to automatically tap into Jerne’s distinguished network of elite travel advisors, known as The 1000, which is a consortium of the globe’s most influential travel advisors.
Tim Morgan, Jerne’s chief executive, echoed this sentiment, highlighting the mutual benefits of the partnership. ‘By partnering with the exceptional Riverside product, we are able to provide exactly what they’re looking for in order to build new sales for themselves and their agency,’ he noted. This initiative reflects a forward-thinking approach, aiming not only to boost Riverside’s sales but also to empower travel advisors with enriching experiences that will resonate well with their clients.
Riverside and Jerne’s partnership exemplifies a strategic move towards enhancing travel advisor engagement and enriching client experiences.
