Pro Tips From Creators

The most-shared advice for Travel Weekly.

  1. Agents should use short breaks or event voyages to introduce newcomers to Cunard

  2. Promote the Liverpool celebration in May 2028 as a unique selling point

  3. Ask customers about their deal breakers to identify their priorities.

  4. Compare cruise value against land holidays by breaking down costs per night.

  5. Use overnights in ports as free city breaks to highlight value.

  6. Start with the 'All Included' package to cover drinks and Wi-Fi.

  7. Agents should look for river cruise guests and land-based guests who spend more on holidays to introduce to Azamara.

  8. Travel partners should leverage the new UK office and contact center for faster support.
