Celebrity Cruises is offering agents the chance to boost their bookings with the line thanks to a pair of limited-time booking incentives.
More than 1,000 agents sailing on Celebrity Beyond will be able to offer a maximum of five customers low deposits of £75 per person – down from £150 – and up to $500 onboard spend to encourage them to book.
Agents will have 90 days to convert and confirm the bookings which they can later change free of charge. They can make the offers to customers during the period when Celebrity Beyond’s pre-inaugural sailings run next month.

The line has also released a culinary learning module on trade platform Celebrity Central, specifically aimed at the incoming Edge-series vessel (pictured).
Agents can learn about the 29 dining ‘experiences’ on the third Edge-series vessel, including French chef Daniel Boulud’s Le Voyage by Daniel Boulud and the line’s new partnership with beverage firm Diageo.
The module will sit alongside others focused on venues and wellness.
Celebrity said: “The main aim of the new course is to immerse agents in all there is to know about our newest ship and make selling Celebrity even easier, underlining our continued commitment to support our travel partners with everything they need.”
An interactive training tool – called Bot – will relaunch next month, said Celebrity. Bot “takes agents on a virtual tour of Celebrity Beyond’s unique spaces and is a fun and easy alternative to more traditional training modules,” it added.
Celebrity confirmed agents will have opportunities to win prizes when using the Bot.
