Agents can win tickets to Taste of London with Celebrity Cruises’ 2017 summer campaign. 

The cruise line will be hosting events at Taste of London and has launched the campaign to support and encourage agents to secure new bookings.

As part of the summer campaign, agents can tempt their customers with free drinks packages worth over £500 and $300 on board spending money when booking an oceanview category or above before 31 August 2017.

To reward agents, the cruise line is running a four-month social media competition with a range of luxury experiences on offer as prizes.

To start the campaign with a foodie focus, agents can upload a photo or video to the Travel Agents Facebook page, using the hashtag #CelebrityLovesAgents, highlighting what they love about Celebrity Cruises’ culinary offering from their favourite on board restaurant or dish to the best place to drink a cocktail.

Winners will be picked until May 29 to win a pair of tickets to Taste of London in June.
Claire Stirrup, director of sales, UK & Ireland, Celebrity Cruises said:

“We create our new campaigns with our trade partners front of mind and we make sure we equip them with all of the tools and support they need to sell Celebrity Cruises. As always, we try to make our agent incentives as engaging and rewarding for agents as possible and this summer we are tying the prizes into our core offerings from culinary and accommodation to destinations and service. We’re looking forward to seeing all of the photos and videos on our Celebrity Travel Agents Facebook page.”

A new campaign selling guide has been delivered to agents across the UK and Ireland and includes details on the different drinks packages available for free as part of the campaign as well as ideas on how guests can spend their free on board credit – spa treatments to speciality restaurants and excursions.

The guide also highlights Celebrity Cruises’ family offering with details on the Summer Camp at Sea programme.

Agents who are signed up to the Celebrity Rewards scheme can earn up to 1,000 (GBP10) for every booking.

Rewards points can be converted into luxury gifts, such as designer handbags, jewellery, tech gadgets, or agents can even exchange their earnings for cash.
