Oceania Cruises has unveiled an exclusive ‘Travel Associates x Oceania Cruises’ takeover to run nationwide with the luxury retail agency, beginning today on 1 November, until the end of the month.
In an Australian cruise-line first, the exclusive takeover will see Oceania Cruises promoted as ‘Cruise Line of the Month’ through Travel Associates’ digital campaigns and in-store activations. The campaign will also feature special booking offers exclusive for Travel Associates’ valued clients.
Oceania Cruises will install a series of deluxe travel specialist ‘pop-up’ desks inside all branches of Travel Associates stores, allowing Travel Associates to invite clients in store to discuss their travel plans. Bookings are by appointment only, with each meeting providing an opportunity to connect face-to-face with a Travel Associates consultant and an Oceania Cruises Business Development Manager, delivering individually tailored, valuable insights on the Oceania Cruises experience.
A series of exclusive cheese and wine evening events will also invite guests hear the Travel Associates and Oceania Cruises’ teams spotlight the line’s hallmark small ship luxury and The Finest Cuisine at Sea®, while showcasing itineraries and imaginative insider tours on offer. Oceania Cruises will also share updates on the latest news including the launch of its newest ship, Allura™, set to sail in 2025 and exciting fleet upgrades.
“Our special Travel Associates x Oceania Cruises takeover series is a wonderful opportunity for us to connect in person with our valued Travel Associates consultants and their clients around Australia,” remarked Jason Worth, Vice President, International Sales at Oceania Cruises. “We are excited to showcase our captivating new voyages, new ships, fleet enhancements, and ultra-premium travel experiences through this valuable partnership.”
Rachel Kingswell, General Manager Travel Associates Australia and New Zealand, said:”Travel Associates is proud of our longstanding partnership with Oceania Cruises, and we are excited to provide this unique opportunity to our clients around Australia.”
“We know that a growing number of our clients are seeking premium cruise experiences and looking to our teams to provide professional guidance and unique insights. This one-of-a-kind experience, accompanied by an exclusive Oceania Cruises offer, will appeal to both existing clients as well as those that are new to brand, or new to cruise.”
The Travel Associates X Oceania Cruises Takeover will run from 1 – 29 November 2024 throughout Travel Associates offices in New South Wales, South Australia, Tasmania, Queensland, West Australia and Victoria.
