Cunard will organise four fam trips this year as part of its plan to host more agents than ever before on its ships.
The line will offer four, four-night roundtrip cruises from Southampton on Queen Anne, Queen Mary 2 and Queen Victoria, with up to 20 spaces available on each trip.
Combined with a programme of nine ship visits, hosting 400 travel agents on Queen Anne on 29 April, and another 185 agents during the CLIA Conference in May, Cunard says it demonstrates ‘an unprecedented commitment’ to the trade.
Cunard Director of UK Sales Tom Mahoney said: “These familiarisation trips will provide invaluable insights into the incredible Cunard experience and what makes us truly unique. We appreciate how important it is for agents to get on board, and with this announcement and our comprehensive ship visit programme, we want to demonstrate an unprecedented commitment to our trade partners.”
The fam trips dates are:
28 August – Queen Anne, sailing to Rotterdam
11 September – Queen Mary 2, sailing to Zeebrugge
13 October – Queen Mary 2, sailing to Hamburg
15 November – Queen Victoria, sailing to Amsterdam
Agents will stay in balcony staterooms or Princess Grill suites, and the cruise will include drinks receptions, training sessions, a speciality dining experience and shore excursions.
Agents can register their interest via Shine Rewards Club.
