Ambassador Cruise Line has announced the seven travel agent winners of its latest trade competition to secure places on its first-ever fam trip.

The line is hosting 30 agents on a six-night River Seine and Antwerp Experience sailing on Ambition, which departs from Tilbury on 26 November.

Ambassador made seven places available through a competition that ran from 26 May to 16 June.

To enter the competition, agents had to tell the line’s trade team why they should win a place on the fam trip by sending a video, a presentation or written proposal.

The entries were judged by Head of Distribution Nicola Harper, Divisional Sales Managers Karen Cameron and Louise Tansey, Trade Support Executive Beth Barker and apprentice Holly Brookes.

The winning agents are:

Sue Horsepool – InteleTravel

Daniel Wilson – Andrew Earle’s Holidays

Carol Smith – Your Holiday Booking

John Ferguson – Thorne Travel

Ryan Balderstone – Hays Travel

Royston Potter – Ashley Adams Worldchoice Holidays

Sean Collins – FROSCH

Nicola said: “We were overwhelmed with entries from agents keen to join us on Ambassador’s first ever fam trip.

“The quality of submissions was amazing, and it was incredibly difficult for us to decide which of our agent friends deserved a place onboard Ambition.

“On behalf of the trade team, a huge thank you to all applicants for your ongoing support and congratulations to all seven winners – we look forward to seeing you enjoy yourself along with fellow agent partners on the River Seine and Antwerp Experience.”

She added: “We know there is nothing like seeing and experiencing a product first-hand, and the team can’t wait to showcase Ambassador’s brilliant, premium value offering in November.”
