Shorex Travel has announced an extra 2% commission for travel agents and cruise specialist operators for all bookings over £500 in value made during National Cruise Week.

And on top of that, all travel agents and operators who make a booking will be entered into a prize draw to win a night in a luxury London Hotel plus tickets to a West End Show for 2 people.

National Cruise Week (18 – 25 September) is centred on travel agents holding local cruise events and promotions, engaging local press where they can and encouraging customers to talk about all things cruise.

Shorex Travel is the leading company working with the UK cruise industry to provide a full range of ground services and enhanced experiences, both pre-departure and post-arrival in port.

The full range of products on offer in all major USA and European destinations includes accommodation, transfers, sightseeing, attractions, and custom made tours. Also featured is the best of North American Rail in the shape of Rocky Mountaineer and Amtrak.

Shorex Travel has also developed cruise specific product, such as a range of Disembarkation Packages which solve the ‘last day’ issue of time to spare between disembarkation and flight home.

Tricia Regan, Head of Sales Shorex Travel, said:

‘Following on the completion of our distribution agreements with all the major High Street chains, and the arrangements we have in place with the major cruise specialists, we are delighted to partner with them to help promote National Cruise Week.

These companies are vital in the distribution and selling of cruise holidays, and we are determined to support them in every way we can.

By working with Shorex Travel, cruise agents are able to differentiate their products, develop and retain more satisfied customers, and enhance their earnings per booking.’
