Princess Cruises is set to host a record number of agents onboard ships sailing out of Southampton this year as part of its "biggest-ever" trade engagement programme.
More than 2,000 agents are expected to participate in the programme, which will span four vessels – Regal Princess, Sky Princess, Island Princess, and Coral Princess – across a total of 22 one-day ship visits throughout the UK, Ireland and Europe until the end of September.
Visits are scheduled across a variety of themed days, including family days, bring your partner days and agent-only visits.
"Our ship visits not only offer agents invaluable insight and tips from our dedicated sales team, they also bring the guest experience to life, complete with refreshing cocktails on top deck, a delectable three-course lunch, and the opportunity to meet our exceptional crew," said Nick Hughes, Princess Cruises sales director.
Hughes said agents have reported their confidence selling Princess itineraries has "soared" as a result of ship visits in the past.
Events are currently scheduled for Southampton, Dover, Falmouth, Cobh, Dublin, Newcastle, Liverpool, Belfast, Greenock, Edinburgh and Rotterdam.
