Star Clippers is to host a series of ‘coffee morning catch-ups’ with agents after its sales teams returned to the road after the pandemic.
The events will be held in the run-up to Halloween and will be hosted by Alison Jared, regional sales manager for the north, or her counterpart for the southwest Nicola Pearce.
Each ‘catch-up’ will include an update on Star Clippers’ plans for 2022/23, including recently-announced sailings to Costa Rica, in addition to peaks activity. Prizes will also be given away at each event.
Agents can choose from one of eight locations and can sign up at agency.sales@starclippers.co.uk.
Danielle Bates, head of trade sales, said: “We are delighted to be out on the road again and seeing agents face to face, after a very long and challenging 18-months.
“We cannot wait to share our plans and talk about all of the wonderful unique experiences Star Clippers offers, with over 30 years of tall ship sailing under our sails. It’s more important than ever to stay in touch with our travel agent family and we hope to see as many of our partners there as possible.”
