Three- to five-port discounts on trade bookings with Venture Ashore

Agents can unlock savings worth up to 40% on multi-port excursion packages from the Essential Collection range.

The bundle-and-save model allows agents to confirm multiple excursions from Venture Ashore's recently-revamped trade portal.

Three-, four- and five-port shore excursions are on offer, all including a back-to-ship guarantee and 'don't port, don't pay' booking protection.

A three-port discount applies on British Isles packages calling at Cork, Greenock and Invergordon, featuring the 'Cork highlights and Blarney Castle tour', 'Loch Lomond - the Trossachs & Stirling Castle tour' and 'Loch Ness and historic Urquhart Castle' excursions from £211 per person for guests aboard Regal Princess.

The three-port discount also applies to the Premier Alaska package, with excursions from Juneau, Skagway and Ketchikan, with prices from £291 per person.

A four-port saving on the 'Bay of Bengal' package, with excursions in Phuket, Colombo, Mumbai and Kuala Lumpur, leads in at £164 per person for guests aboard Celebrity Millennium.

Savings are wrapped up with the five-port option on the same 'Bay of Bengal' bundle with an extra excursion in Penang, with bundles from £193.50 for guests aboard the same ship.

On the launch of Venture Ashore's new trade portal, Kirsty Bachelor, director of sales, emphasised, "We value our partnerships and relationships in the trade community... travel agents are now able to search and book excursions by destination, which enables agents the opportunity to sell experiences for both pre- and post-cruise."
