Tipto and Hurtigruten offer 29 places on 2025 fam trip

Hurtigruten has partnered with supplier marketing organisation Tipto to offer agents the chance to join the largest fam trip ever operated by the cruise line.

There are 29 places on the seven-night fam trip to be won.

Hurtigruten will offer one fam trip place at every Tipto Roadshow and SuperShow event from now until the end of the organisation’s Year 26 in 2025.

All agents attending Tipto events can enter and could win a place on one of Hurtigruten’s Original Astronomy Voyages.

Agents will be entered into the prize draw when they submit their completed quiz sheet on the evening and the winning name will be drawn at random on the night.

The fam trip itinerary will showcase the Arctic night sky on an immersive voyage along the Norwegian coastline, accompanied by an astronomer.  The exact dates of travel will be confirmed in early 2025.

James Howlett, UK head of sales at Hurtigruten, said: “Tipto provides a valuable opportunity to connect with and educate a large number of agents.

“This fam launch is our way of giving back to the trade and showing appreciation for their continued support.

“The trade is essential to our success in the UK market, and this fam trip enhances agent knowledge through firsthand experience of our product.

“We are committed to engaging with more agents than ever before, equipping them with the tools to turn enquiries into confirmed bookings.”

Vishal Patel (Travelpack) from the Tipto leadership team added: “We are so excited to bring this fantastic fam trip giveaway to our agent community via our popular Face 2 Face event format.

“It offers the perfect opportunity for agents to fully understand Hurtigruten’s fabulous product and allows Tipto to continue to reward agents for their ongoing support.

“We certainly could not do what we do for our agents without the unwavering support and dedication of our suppliers.”

Claire Dutton (JG Travel Group), also from the leadership team, added: “This is a standout giveaway for our agent community and the first we have ever done on such a scale.

“Tipto’s suppliers and our events team continually strive to keep the offering fresh, fun and most importantly educational, and Hurtigruten’s prize offering ticks all of those boxes.”
