Scenic showered its top performing Aussie and Kiwi travel agencies and consultants with love during its glamorous ‘Night of Stars’ at the Ivy Ballroom on Saturday night.
Over 200 Agents and invited guests came glammed up and ready to party for the annual soiree in Sydney which this year was hosted by comedian Vince Sorrenti.
The night was also marked with the huge news of a second, sister ship to Scenic Eclipse – ‘Scenic Eclipse II’ to be launched in 2020. Read more about that here.

Eleven agents scored Diamond status for 2017 as part of Scenic’s elite partner program, while Scenic’s Queensland Sales Development Manager Sara Puglia was announced as Scenic’s Sales Development Manager of the Year.
