Star Clippers is strengthening its partnership with homeworking agents by hosting exclusive lunch events across the UK.
- The events will feature presentations from Star Clippers, Kirker Holidays, and Inspiring Travel to inform and engage agents.
- Commencing in Birmingham, these lunches aim to further educate agents about the newly launched Captain’s Collection brand.
- Representatives from all involved brands will attend the events to foster stronger ties with the network of homeworkers.
- This initiative underscores Star Clippers’ commitment to enriching the knowledge and experience of travel agents across the UK.
Star Clippers is taking significant steps to boost its connections with homeworking travel agents through a series of specially curated lunch events. In collaboration with Kirker Holidays and Inspiring Travel, these gatherings are designed to inform and inspire the agents, enhancing their understanding of the luxury cruise offerings provided by the Captain’s Collection brand.
These meticulously planned events will take place in three major UK cities — Birmingham, York, and London. They will kick off at The Ivy in Birmingham on 23 October, followed by York and then London. Each location will not only provide a luxurious three-course meal but also feature insightful presentations from Star Clippers and its partners, allowing agents to gain a deeper insight into the unique holiday experiences on offer.
The decision to focus on a home-based agent model, termed the Homeworker Collection, highlights Star Clippers’ strategic direction. The brand’s representative, Fay McCormack, emphasised that the Captain’s Collection is aimed at providing ‘enhanced and elevated packages’ for those seeking distinctive holiday experiences. This strategic shift indicates a commitment to ensuring that homeworkers are well-versed in these offerings, thereby equipping them to better serve their clientele.
The collaboration between Star Clippers, Kirker Holidays, and Inspiring Travel is instrumental in this educational initiative, reflecting a collective effort to empower travel agents with enhanced knowledge and resources. These events serve as a testament to the ongoing loyalty and support that Star Clippers extends to its agent partners.
Earlier in the year, Star Clippers demonstrated its dedication to agents by inviting fifteen of them on an exclusive eight-night sailing from Malaga to Rome aboard the Star Flyer. This gesture provided agents from various agencies including The Cruise Village and Miles Morgan Travel, among others, the opportunity to personally experience the brand’s offerings, further solidifying their ability to advise clients knowledgeably on the unique cruise experiences available.
These lunch events are a clear indication of Star Clippers’ commitment to fostering strong relationships and enhancing the expertise of homeworking travel agents.
