Running
from 2 June to 31 December 2025, the incentive will reward the top 20 bookers,
along with five randomly selected ‘Wild Card’ winners, with an all-inclusive
cruise experience. The prize trip will depart from La Romana, Dominican
Republic on 3 March 2026, following the seven-night ‘Tropical Isles’ itinerary
with stops in the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands.
The
exclusive trip includes flights, transfers, tips, and Marella’s all-inclusive
service, offering agents the chance to enjoy the full range of food, drink, and
onboard experiences.
Hosted
by Marella Cruises representatives, the voyage is designed to immerse agents in
the product, helping them gain first-hand insight into the Marella offering and
enhance their ability to sell the brand to future customers.
In
the first year of the programme, nearly 1,000 agents participated. This year,
Marella is encouraging even more engagement from independent agents across the
UK & Ireland. To enter, agents must submit their Marella package bookings
via a digital form. A regularly updated leaderboard will keep participants
informed of their standings throughout the incentive period.
For
more information and to participate, agents should visit the official Marella
Cruises trade portal.
