Prepare yourself for some hella jealousy. Seriously, the green monster will not be suppressed or kept from popping out to say ‘I wanted to go too’ when reading about the epic trip that was CRUISE Stars.
Cruise STARS, for those not in-the-know, is a MASSIVE celebratory trip for Travel Agents who make the most cruise sales through Seven Oceans Cruising.
‘Isn’t that Global Stars?’ you may be wondering. You’d be correct. Cruise STARS was once part of Global STARS, however, the two were divided in the last year in order to better reward high achievers.
Rewarded, they have been!
The inaugural group of 20 Cruise STARS were thanked for their hard work and sales with a FREE ultra-luxury cruise to Alaska with the highly glamorous (and uber pricey) Crystal Cruises.
Yep, a free trip with Crystal Cruises – go on, let the green guy rage a little (no murder please!).
The extravagant congratulatory trip started in Australia where 15 wholesaler and five cruise line Agents were flown to Vancouver with Air Canada. Upon arrival in The Great White North, consultants enjoyed a morning tea at the Pan Pacific Hotel before boarding Crystal Symphony.
Over 10 nights, the Aussie and Kiwi incentive winners enjoyed 6-star service and all-inclusive luxuries from elegant dining venues, unlimited fine wines, premium spirits and champagne.
Between onboard royal treatment, they also found time to discover the Inside Passage, Juneau, Skagway, Glacier Bay, Hubbard Glacier, Sitka, Ketchikan, Prince Rupert, Queen Charlotte Sound and Victoria.
PLUS, of course, there was wildlife spotting!
Once the at-sea fun was done, Agents spent a day exploring Vancouver’s with city experts aka Tourism Vancouver. They walked through Stanley Park, checked out the Capilano Suspension Bridge, gazed out at the Vancouver Lookout and shopped ’till they dropped at the outlet mall.
Then as quickly as it began, their luxurious reward came to an end, and consultants were flown back to the Lands Down Under.
