Designer Travel rewards top-selling cruise agents with spa day

Designer Travel has treated its top 10 cruise sellers to a spa experience at Carden Park Hotel in Cheshire as a reward for their bookings.

Jess Trickett, cruise and long-haul business development manager at the homeworking agency, said the event was a “thank you” to recognise their “hard work and dedication towards cruise sales”.

It is the third year in a row that the homeworking agency has rewarded its best cruise consultants – in 2023 it took top sellers to see Abba Voyage in London, including a luxury hotel stay, and last year, the agents stayed at the Intercontinental at the O2 and had cocktails before attending the Mamma Mia Experience.

The agency has previously worked with Regent Seven Seas and Celebrity Cruises on the reward trips, and this year, Royal Caribbean joined the event.

The Carden Park Hotel experience featured a full spa day, treatments, fizz and dinner before an overnight stay at the hotel.

“This was a great way to collaborate with our cruise supplier partners with whom we have built fantastic relationships, with time to chat about trends, cruise opportunities and to thank them for their support throughout the year,” said Trickett.

“Plans are already under way for making 2026 a bigger event and our Professional Travel Experts are all striving to be in that top 10 spot to grab their place.”
