Agents invited to cruise showcases
The first in a series of ACE Cruise Showcases takes place in Newcastle later this month.
Showcases will follow in Norwich, Exeter and Belfast, supported by eleven cruise lines and destination partners.
ACE director Andy Harmer said: "Feedback from our focus groups has shown that agents still value face to face time with representatives from cruise lines and destinations.
"These Showcases provide us with the opportunity to meet with agents while updating them on the opportunities and key selling points that exist in 2012 and beyond."
Each of the Showcases takes place between 6-9.30pm in a city centre hotel.
The first event takes place in Newcastle on 21 February followed by Norwich on 23 February and Exeter and Belfast in June.
For further information, agents should visit www.cruiseexperts.org or contact Alex Holubowicz at [email protected] or by calling 020 7436 2449.
