Explora Journeys rolls out new group booking programmes
MSC Group’s new luxury lifestyle travel brand Explora Journeys has unveiled two new group programmes for travel advisors.
It unveiled ‘Journey Together’ and ‘Journey Together +’ along with ‘an upgraded ‘By Appointment` service.
Journey Together
Allows travel advisors to book small groups, extended and multi-generational families, and meetings and incentive groups. It starts with five suites and a minimum of 10 guests. Travel advisors can benefit from a complimentary host berth and each suite reserved comes with a complimentary Journey Experience credit to use onboard.
Journey Together +
The programme starts with a 10 suite, 20 guest minimum and offers travel advisors a complimentary host suite.
Full ship charter requests can also be rreuested by travel advisors and shipping brokers and are negotiated independently of the Journey Together programmes.
By Appointment +
Launched in December last year, Explora Journeys `By Appointment’ service completely removes any on hold time and is exclusively available to travel advisors. They can now invite their clients on a `By Appointment +` call to allow Explora Journeys’ ambassadors to answer questions and finalise their bookings. Travel advisors can set up an appointment on their chosen date and time with an Explora Journeys ambassador which is immediately confirmed with an introductory personalised message. Bookings can be made for any of EXPLORA I `s inaugural journeys` collection.
Michael Ungerer, Chief Executive Officer of Explora Journeys said: “We are firmly on track for our maiden journey in May 2023, and are absolutely committed to providing our travel advisor community resources and customised solutions.”
Sales are now open for the Inaugural Journeys Collection for EXPLORA I from May 2023 and in its first year, the ship will visit 132 ports in 40 different countries.
