Celestyal is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year and to mark the occasion the specialist Greece and Arabian Gulf cruise line is giving away a range of unmissable agent prizes and rewards.
Over 1000 experiences will be on offer to agents across the year, such as cash prizes, cruises and sold-out concert tickets and sporting events. From March 13, Celestyal's 10th brand anniversary, agents can join the first in a series of hosted monthly ‘Celestyal Live’ webinars to hear updates from the line's senior team leaders including brand news and giveaways of the latest incentives to those in attendance.
The experiences will be won each month though booking incentives, as well as being gifted to those who complete training modules on the new travel agent portal, ‘Celestyal Compass’.
To kick-start the giveaways, 10 lucky agents each received £100 cash, bottles of champagne and tickets to the Traitors Live Experience from the host Claudia Winkleman at last night's Globes, in a specially designed CelestyalPay wallet. The prizes showcased the introduction of the new onboard pre-pay food and beverage wallet, which comes into effect from mid-March 2025.
Janet Parton, VP Business Development at Celestyal, said: “After a ground-breaking 10 years we want to say a sincere thanks to agents for all their support. We are known for delivering unmissable experiences and to reflect that we are offering 1000 special giveaways and incentives to show our appreciation to our valued trade agents, and launching the monthly ‘Celestyal Live’ sessions with our regional senior leaders across the year.
"We have a history to be proud of and an incredibly exciting future ahead of us. After record trade booking numbers last year, the total refresh of our fleet, a new brand identity, new website and trade portal and the launch of a new region and year-round operations, there has never been a better time to get onboard with us."
