Silversea to host expedition cruise webinars for agents and clients

Ultra-luxury cruise line Silversea Cruises will host a series of webinars, led by its destination experts, to showcase its expedition cruises to agents and their clients.

The company is also offering discounts on 95 expedition voyages to the Arctic, Antarctica, the Galapagos, and Australia’s Kimberley region, on new bookings made before June 30.

Furthermore, it is offering trade partners ‘double kicker’ commission points on expedition voyages for the month of June, increased from 1% to 2%, providing the opportunity to increase earnings.

Also, as part of the cruise line’s Travel Partner Appreciation Month, agents who make a new confirmed booking on any expedition cruise during June will be automatically entered into a weekly prize draw for a chance to win a gift card.

Massimo Brancaleoni, Silversea senior global sales vice-president, said: “Through our tailored range of live webinars, our expedition experts will showcase and bring to life our industry-leading itineraries for our travel partners and guests, enabling them to select their ideal experience.

“Moreover, we will reveal an exclusive offer for webinar participants to increase our season’s best value offering.”

The webinar on June 8 will feature Antarctica and will be hosted by Conrad Combrink, expeditions, destination, and itinerary management senior vice-president.

On June 15, the topic is the Arctic. Hosts will be Peter Shanks, managing director for the UK, Ireland, Middle East and Africa, plus Daniil Elterman, expedition field staff and operations senior director.

The pair will also host a webinar on June 22, exploring the Galápagos.
