moments with... Lynn
At Seabourn we are always thinking of how we can help our valued travel partners sell our ultra-luxury ocean voyages and expeditions.
Education is very important. Seabourn Academy is the best way to learn about our brand in your own time, with valuable tips on marketing. Ship visits are also vital for you to experience our brand first-hand – we have just published a list of these, so please do register to attend.
Having the right partnerships – for instance, with ATAS and CLIA – ensure that we meet and communicate with more partners both digitally and at industry events.
Trade resources are key. At
GoSeabourn.co.uk you’ll
find campaign assets and our image library. It also gives you access to our online booking system Polar – and this year we are investing in and improving this platform.
Having the right people is vital and I am so proud
of our team! While we have an incredible and very dedicated sales team, I consider all of us to be in sales and there to help partners. Many of our Southampton- based contact centre team have been with the company for more than 10 years. They have a wealth of personal experience of our brand and are always available to assist partners on the phone or on email.
And, of course, we love to reward you, our partners.
Our current ‘Amazon Voucher’ incentive, valid until the end of April, means that you can enjoy up to £150 per booking when you book a premium suite, and up to £300 if you book an Amazon Expedition.
Finally, we also feel that bringing product to market earlier helps – so look out for some new itinerary launches coming soon!
