Wednesday, August 21, 2024 Carnival Cruise Line has embarked on an innovative partnership with Travel Solutions, a prominent tour operator, aiming to expand trade awareness and elevate sales efforts within Northern Ireland. This strategic alliance marks a significant step as it opens up new avenues for independent travel agents by integrating Travel Solutions’ robust booking platforms into their services. Now, agents have the unique ability to seamlessly offer Carnival’s cruise packages to a growing clientele eager for new travel experiences.
To kickstart this collaboration and cement its benefits for local agents, Carnival Cruise Line organized an exclusive event that took place on the Carnival Legend, docked in Belfast on August 16. This event was not just a ceremonial gesture but a practical engagement opportunity. Over 30 travel agents, specifically invited by Travel Solutions, were granted access to explore the vast amenities and luxurious accommodations of the ship.
This firsthand experience was designed to equip them with the necessary insights and enthusiasm to effectively market and sell Carnival cruises. The ship visit also served as a networking platform, where agents could connect with each other and with Carnival’s dedicated trade team. These interactions are pivotal as they help build a knowledgeable and enthusiastic network of agents who are well-prepared to introduce Carnival’s offerings to the Northern Irish market.
This initiative reflects Carnival’s commitment to not only expanding its market presence but also supporting the growth and development of local travel businesses through strategic partnerships and hands-on engagement..
