Product and sales manager Laura Wilson said: “I’m excited about this new brochure which features some fantastic itineraries and provides the trade with a great opportunity to offer their clients a wide choice of exciting and interesting products.
“Through research, we have found that reason for travel, whether it’s being away for the Christmas period or visiting a destination for a specific event, is a driver for customers, along with anything that makes the trip more bucket list worthy.
“Whilst we have been monitoring customer spend and found that entry level price point is a factor, the value of the package is more important with longer duration itineraries and upgrades being favoured.
“We have therefore included more of these in the collection along with more luxury and expedition cruise line partners and upgraded cabin types and optional extras such as drinks packages highlighted where applicable.”
