Mantra group offers a shore thing

Wednesday, 14 Oct, 2013 0

Resort operator Mantra Group is building its national programme of land packages to cater for cruise passenger clients.

Mantra Group is the only hotel and resort group to be a member of Cruise Down Under Australia – the governing body of cruising in Australia – on a national level.

Since implementing the land package programme in March this year, Mantra has seen more than 3000 room nights generated from cruise companies such as Carnival, P&O, Holland America, Seabourn, Inchcape, Intercruise and National Geographic Linbald.

The programme involves more than 50 of the group’s Peppers, Mantra and BreakFree hotels and resorts across Australia’s coastline providing pre and post itineraries, day trips and accommodation packages for cruise clients looking to explore beyond the ship’s docking point.

Judd Rabbidge, Mantra’s dedicated business development manager for the cruise sector, said: "Australia’s busiest summer cruise season is about to start with around 600 port visits scheduled to our shores, resulting in a growing need for pre and post accommodation options for cruise passengers and crew."

 

 Mantra Group is looking to expand its cruise offering to its properties in New Zealand in 2014.
