Expedition Cruise Network launching Antarctica agent training
The Expedition Cruise Network (ECN) is advancing its travel agent engagement activities.
ECN has released a new comprehensive ECN Antarctica Selling Guide for agents new to expedition cruising.
The guide features selling tips, destination highlights of Antarctica, season information and more.
The Expedition Cruise Network has also opened registration for the first two intensive travel agent training events for Antarctica cruises called ECN Bootcamps.
The first, hosted by ECN member Silversea in their London city offices on 17 July 2024, delivers intense Antarctica cruise training for 12 travel agents.
The second bootcamp is hosted by Scenic Luxury Cruises & Tours in their Manchester office the next day.
Akvile Marozaite, CEO and co-founder of ECN said: “Our new bespoke face-to-face training days will provide delegates with a deep understanding of the destination, and insights to help travel advisors sell Antarctica responsibly.”
“The bootcamps are the first of its kind and are intended to be intense training events where travel trade professionals can come together to learn about expedition cruises.”
The first two ECN Antarctica bootcamps will include training on expedition cruising in general, Antarctica as a destination specifically and hear from five handpicked expedition cruise operators about their Antarctic programmes.
