Silversea Advocates is Silversea’s agent reward and recognition programme. Every month, the Silversea Sales Team nominates an individual who has gone above and beyond to support Silversea. Whether it is sales performance, a marketing promotion or event, or you are a patron of Silversea, there are many reasons you could be nominated. Each agent nominated receives 100 Silversea Agent Rewards points, which equates to £100 worth of vouchers, and a plaque recognising them as a Silversea Advocate. And in early 2025, all our Advocates will be invited to a prestigious event where one agent will be awarded a suite for two on a Silversea voyage.
VIEW FROM THE FRONTLINE This month, we catch up with Luke Roddy, from The Sovereign Cruise Club, who became a Silversea Advocate in July 2024.
What do you like about the Silversea Advocate scheme? “I think it’s a great scheme to show appreciation to trade partners for hard work that’s done. As agents, it also give us something to work towards.”
