Seabourn is reiterating its commitment to travel advisors with its third annual ‘Global Partner Appreciation Event‘. Set to run longer than ever, from 2 March to April 30 2020, the now-two-month event demonstrates Seabourn’s gratitude to dedicated travel advisors around the world. This year’s edition will see global sales teams in North America, the United Kingdom, Europe, and Australia reinforcing Seabourn’s long-standing support to travel advisor partners, who are instrumental in the company’s business. Through an increased number of activities, including seminars, webinars, conferences, events, and in-person meetings, the event offers opportunities for regional sales teams to share details of new developments from Seabourn.

“We take our guests on ultra-luxury journeys they’ll never forget, but it takes dedicated travel advisors to show prospective cruise passengers what really makes Seabourn the finest experience on the seas. Our travel advisor partners remain an invaluable asset for us, and we want to continue to support their growth and success every way we can,” noted Chris Austin, Seabourn’s Senior Vice President of Global Marketing & Sales. “Our ‘Global Partner Appreciation Event’ helps our teams keep advisors up to date with the latest details on Seabourn and offers an avenue for us to show our partners how much we appreciate their support and commitment, which grows stronger year after year.”

As part of the 2020 “Global Partner Appreciation Event,” Seabourn is offering a two-month-long promotion with rewards, including:

• 4% bonus commission on 2020 Mediterranean cruises
• Travel Advisors can earn gift cards up to $1,500!

Seabourn’s Partner Appreciation Event is applicable to select 2020 and 2021 sailings (certain restrictions apply). The event runs concurrently with the brand’s ‘Sensational Suite Savings‘ promotion that offers a number of benefits for consumers. Seabourn is also running a special group offer during the Partner Appreciation Event, where groups booked during March and April on select sailings will be eligible for both shipboard credits and bonus commissions. Additional details on the group offer are available on Seabourn’s online Travel Advisor Center.

The ‘Partner Appreciation’-inspired activities are designed to ensure travel advisors have a keen grasp of the cornerstones of the ‘Seabourn Difference‘ and are fully equipped to grow their own business, increase luxury sales, and identify new cruise guests. Highlights to be featured include new itineraries, company news, and insider perspectives on the line’s two new expedition vessels – Seabourn Venture and its yet-to-be-named sister ship – which are scheduled to launch in June 2021 and May 2022, respectively. Seabourn’s Travel Advisor Center also offers a number of tools, resources and information to assist travel advisors on everything they need to know to sell the ultra-luxury cruise line to their clients.

Seabourn represents the pinnacle of ultra-luxury travel, with intimate ships offering key elements that set the line apart: spacious, thoughtfully appointed suites, many with verandas and all oceanfront; superb dining in a choice of venues; complimentary premium spirits and fine wines available on board at all times; award-winning service and a relaxed, sociable atmosphere that makes guests feel at home on board. The ships travel the globe to many of the world’s most desirable destinations including marquee cities, UNESCO World Heritage Sites and lesser-known ports and hideaways.

Regular guests of Seabourn will continue to find a number of innovative offerings and programs, including partnerships with a select group of companies and individuals whose dedication to superior quality, exceptional service and consistent customer satisfaction matches Seabourn.

Such programs include ‘An Evening with Tim Rice’, the new evening entertainment experience created exclusively for the line in association with Belinda King Creative Productions; ‘Seabourn Conversations’ with special-guest speakers including knowledgeable historians, naturalists, marine biologists, destination experts and more; Spa and Wellness with Dr. Andrew Weil, offering guests a holistic spa and wellness experience that integrates physical, social, environmental and spiritual well-being; and The Grill by Thomas Keller, reminiscent of the classic American restaurant from the ’50s and ’60s. Exclusive to Seabourn, The Grill is a unique culinary concept for Chef Keller, focusing on updated versions of iconic dishes. Guests will be treated to table-side preparations of Caesar salad and ice cream sundaes, as well as a range of other favourites like premium steaks, whole roasted chicken, and Lobster Thermidor, presented à la carte.
