10 REASONS WHY YOUR CLIENTS SHOULD CHOOSE CRUISE

Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) is the world’s largest cruise industry association, providing support and resources for their members. Here are their top 10 reasons to book a cruise for your clients.

LEADING INNOVATION 2

NO NEED TO FLY 4 Your clients can choose a cruise departing from Southampton, board the ship with as much luggage as they wish and start their holiday straight away, with no need to fly!

SPAS & WELLNESS 5 Cruise ship spas have taken personal pampering to new heights. Your clients’ wellness experience begins the moment they step on board.

UNFORGETTABLE MEMORIES 1 CLIA research shows that those who go on a cruise for the first time are likely to book again within 12 months, meaning cruising is great for building customer loyalty.

NO-HASSLE ADVENTURE The most stress-free and relaxed way to experience multiple destinations over one holiday. Your clients can unpack once and wake up somewhere new every day.

The cruise industry is constantly advancing. Guests experience the very latest and greatest without any extra cost.

EXTRAORDINARY EXPERIENCES 6 On a cruise holiday, your clients will enjoy experiences ashore that they wouldn’t ordinarily get the chance to do, and with more time in destination with Celebrity Cruises, they can create unique memories that last a lifetime.

ENTERTAINMENT INCLUDED 7 There is limitless talent included with cruise ship entertainment, with outstanding shows and theatre productions, live music and dancing. There’s never a dull moment, and the productions are unrivalled by any land based holiday.

8

THE CREW 9 Cruise ship crew go above and beyond to make your clients’ holiday extra special. Celebrity Cruises offers impeccable service from Stateroom Attendants to Sommeliers who make every sailing extraordinary.

INCREDIBLE CHOICE 10 A cruise is arguably the best type of holiday to suit all types of traveller – plus it offers exceptional value and experiences on board and on shore. From laid- back relaxers to culture chasers, there’s a cruise for everyone.

EXQUISITE DINING Cruise line guests can enjoy a sumptuous breakfast, lunch and dinner all included in their cruise fare. Celebrity Cruises offers a world-class dining experience at sea, with menus crafted by Michelin-starred chefs.

WELL CONNECTED WITH INCREDIBLE WI-FI If your clients are looking to purchase Wi-Fi to stay connected and share their journey with friends and family – it’s better value before sailing, so recommend they book before they cruise.

All Included is our best value fare option. Our most popular amenities, basic Wi-Fi, Classic drinks and tips are all included in the price of the cruise. Booking All Included is the most convenient way to sail , as well as the best value for money . And, when your clients choose to sail All Included – you will also benefit from more commission compared to a cruise-only fare. This fare option is available across all room types and itineraries (excluding Galapagos). Your clients can choose to upgrade from Classic drinks to Premium drinks, similarly they will be able to upgrade from Basic Wi-Fi to Premium Wi-Fi. There is an upgrade charge for both per person per day. For clients who don’t want to book the All Included rate, drinks and Wi-Fi packages are also able to be purchased separately. View our drinks flyer to find out more about what’s included in Classic and Premium drinks packages.

Selling tip: To create a truly special experience, encourage your clients to choose All Included at the time of booking to benefit from the best value, saving up to 45% compared to when purchasing on board. And when they choose to do this – don’t forget you benefit from more commission too.

CHOOSING A CELEBRITY CRUISE Cruises are available to book up to 3 years in advance. Take the time to find out all about your clients’ needs and wants for their holiday. Learn about where they would like to travel to – is it a specific region? Many of your clients will be open to suggestions – so be prepared! It’s helpful to narrow down what type of customer they are so you can recommend the right ship and itinerary. Find out if they are celebrating a special occasion so we can make their holiday extra special. Don’t forget our All Included rate is the best value for money when they book before boarding. If they are seeking a more luxurious experience, think about offering AquaClass ® or The Retreat ® depending on their preferences.

MAKING A BOOKING Bookings can be made via Celebrity Central using AirWaves, our booking platform. 1. PROMOTIONS

PREPARING YOUR CLIENT FOR THEIR CELEBRITY CRUISE Before sailing, guests need to create a Celebrity account online to keep up to date with their sailing and make reservations. We recommend they download the app too. 1. ADD PAYMENT DETAILS Guests can add their credit card details to the app before checking in. This card will be charged for any onboard expenses once they’ve left the ship. They can see their expenses on the app or on their TV screen in room. 2. PRE-CRUISE PLANNING Your clients can make dining, spa and shore excursion reservations via their Celebrity Account before they sail. 3. CHECK-IN Guests can check in via the app or online 45-days before sailing and choose an embarkation (boarding) time. 4. SAFETY DEMONSTRATION Our mandatory safety demonstrations are called a Muster and explain all the safety regulations and procedures of the ship. Your clients can watch the muster on the app or on their in-room TV.

BOARDING Your clients can relax when boarding, knowing everything has been taken care of. It shouldn’t take more than an hour from arriving at the port to boarding the ship. 1. ARRIVE AT PORT A porter will greet your clients at the port and take their luggage, placing it in their room whilst they embark. Your clients can hold onto their hand luggage, including valuables and essentials like medication and travel documents. 2. SECURITY Port security is much like airport security, where guests and their personal items will be required to go through a scanner. There are no restrictions on liquids. 3. SHOW DOCUMENTS Your clients will be required to show their passport and any relevant visas. 4. BOARD SHIP It’s time for your clients to explore the ship and discover all the relaxing spaces on board. The Guest Relations team on board are available to assist with any queries.

4. BOOKING FLIGHTS AND TRANSFERS

Check out our campaigns page to see our current offers. AirWaves will show you the prices with any discounts included. 2. ACCOMMODATION This is an opportunity to upsell to a Balcony room, AquaClass or The Retreat. Your clients can choose the location of their room – show them deck plans to help them decide. Use AirWaves to compare rooms by price and category. 3. DINING Discuss dining options with your client so they can decide on their dining preference. Check out our Dining page for more information. Things to consider when selecting dining options: µ Do they want to dine at the same table with the same people every evening? µ What time do they want to eat at each night? Or would they prefer it to be flexible? µ Do they want to book a speciality restaurant in advance?

5. CAPTAIN’S CLUB Tell your clients about our loyalty programme, if they’re already a member, enter their membership number at time of booking to unlock any additional benefits. 6. GUEST PAYMENTS Your clients can secure their booking with a deposit from only £150/€165. Please note for low cost air, full payment for flights may be required at time of booking. You can book your clients’ entire holiday using AirWaves, this includes pre- and post- cruise hotel stays, flights, baggage, and transfers.
