Azamara launches 'largest-ever' trade incentive

Azamara Cruises has unveiled its largest UK trade incentive to date offering agents the chance to be among the first to sail on board the newly refurbished Azamara Quest.

There are six places up for grabs on the five-night Mediterranean cruise which can be won through earning points for new bookings.

The sailing departs on November 29 and calla at Valletta, Trapani, La Goulette, Cartagena and Málaga.

To enter, agents need to submit their bookings at Azamara Rewards. Grandview and Panorama Suite bookings will receive double entries.

Agents can also get extra earnings for new bookings between May 1 and June 30, with an extra £20 for every qualifying cruise booking, £50 for ever Grandview Suite and £100 for every Panorama Suite.

UK and Ireland sales director Stuart Pearce said: “This is quite simply the biggest and most exciting trade incentive we have ever launched, and it reflects just how much we value the incredible support of the UK travel trade.

“Not only are we giving agents the chance to win a truly spectacular Mediterranean voyage, but they’ll be doing so aboard a ship that has been transformed from the inside out, and as part of an inaugural sailing that will go down in Azamara history.

“On top of that, we’re rewarding every single booking made during the campaign period with enhanced incentives, because agents who champion Azamara Cruises deserve to feel that commitment returned. I’d encourage every agent to get involved,  make their bookings, submit their claims, and give themselves the best possible chance of winning.”

Quest will undergo a multi-million-dollar upgrade in November as part of the Azamara Forward Programme.

The ship will have 12 suites, a Chef’s Table, refreshed staterooms, upgraded public spaces and dining venues added.
