Friday, August 23, 2024 Starting September 3rd, travel agents across the U.K. and Ireland will have the opportunity to elevate their rewards strategy with Upper Deck, Royal Caribbean International’s revamped loyalty scheme.
Hosted on the Club Royal online travel agent learning and rewards platform, Upper Deck offers unprecedented advantages in bookings with Royal Caribbean, enhancing both the ease and the potential rewards. The more valuable the booking, the greater the rewards, with the updated program allowing agents to earn as much as £500 per booking, thanks to significantly enhanced payout rates. “ Travel partners are a cornerstone of Royal Caribbean, and we have listened to their feedback to reimagine how they are rewarded by incentivising their efforts in securing higher-value bookings,” said Aaron Langford, senior sales director of U.
K. and Ireland, Royal Caribbean International. “With Upper Deck we are excited to raise the game on the earning potential for agents supporting our business and I can’t wait to welcome more agents, both new to the brand and new to cruise, as a result.
” Royal Caribbean is incentivizing agents with prepaid digital Mastercard bonuses immediately after booking confirmation: Furthermore, Upper Deck members will get an additional £10 for every group booking they secure. Agents booking their own vacations with Royal Caribbean will also enjoy a £100 bonus credited to their Mastercard, usable anywhere they choose. Royal Caribbean has unveiled the Upper Deck 100, a distinguished club designated for agents who garner over £100,000 in total sales of Royal Caribbean vacations annually.
This prestigious club offers more than financial incentives; members gain access to unique experiences, including exclusive previews of new vessels and opportunities for annual family visits to ships. To commemorate the launch of this initiative and to honor the enduring relationships with their travel partners, Royal Caribbean will host the top 12 agents with the highest booking values between September 3 and October 1 on a special 5-night voyage from Miami aboard the Independence of the Seas on November 11. These elite agents will experience the same exceptional amenities available to their clients, including a visit to Royal Caribbean’s acclaimed private isle in The Bahamas, Perfect Day at CocoCay.
Here, they can enjoy an array of attractions such as the Thrill Waterpark with its 14 slides and the new adults-only retreat, Hideaway Beach, which boasts a swim-up bar, private beach, pools, a live DJ, and various spots for refreshments and relaxation. Moreover, members of Club Royal will benefit from continuous opportunities through the Upper Deck, including comprehensive training modules, competitions, updates on the latest brand developments, and access to Royal Genie. This innovative tool assists agents in crafting custom digital sales materials for their clients.
Agents eager to be part of the Upper Deck loyalty scheme can sign up by visiting the Club Royal website, viewing a newly launched video, and agreeing to the program’s terms and conditions..
