The annual CLIA Conference which took place in Southampton at the end of last month saw Saga Cruises extend a special invitation to agents to sail on Spirit of Discovery in July 2019.
More than 400 agents who attended the conference will all receive their invitation to join the Saga team on the new ship before she embarks on her first customer cruise.
Iain Powell, head of trade sales, said at the event: ?This is an incredibly exciting time for Saga and we want to share it with our agent partners. Spirit of Discovery marks a real turning point for us, delivering small ship luxury cruising designed for the UK market. I have consistently said that I have high hopes for the trade in supporting the growth of our travel business; for this to be realised, we need to allow them to experience the product first hand.?
The trade event will take place amongst a period of inaugural events in June and July 2019. Other key partners and agents will be invited bringing the total number of agents who will see Spirit of Discovery in this period to 700, followed by an extensive ship visit programme throughout the year.
