Radisson ties up with guild for new brochure
Guild of professional cruise agents
RADISSONSeven Seas Cruises has teamed up with Basingstoke-based Guild of Professional Cruise Agents to launch a brochure exclusively for the guild.
The guild plans to introduce a range of offers with other member cruise companies.
Chairman Kevin Griffin said: “We aim to provide our members with a range of exclusive products for promotion to their clients – cruises that are exciting and different and not available elsewhere.
“This is just the first of a range of offers we are developing for our members.
“We intend to have exclusive offers available in all cruise market sectors, from contemporary to deluxe and special-interest to adventure. Guild members are ideally placed to promote products that are out of the ordinary.”
Itineraries in the Radisson programme include a seven-night cruise trip from Vancouver around Alaska with calls at Sitka, Juneau, Skagway, Ketchikan.
Prices lead in at £2,570 per person for a deluxe suite. There is also an 18-night programme aboard the Seven Seas Mariner around the US and the Panama Canal.
Ports of call include Los Angeles, San Diego, Cabo San Lucas, Acapulco, Puerto Quetzal, Puerto Caldere, Panama Canal, San Andreas, Grand Cayman and Key West. Prices lead in at £3,620 perperson.
Radisson Seven Seas Cruises manager director Graham Sadler said:”We are already delighted with the response and several bookings were taken during the first week of sale.
“This Radisson programme is available exclusively through guild member agencies and we are planning on working with them on other future promotions.”
Exclusive: following its tie-up with Radisson, the guild aims to offer its members cruises that are not available anywhere else
