Silversea has rolled out a new weekly video series designed to stay connected with the travel agent community, amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
These ‘Virtual Visits,’ accessible on a new dedicated platform, will feature representatives from Silversea’s Global Sales and Marketing teams, hosting short video presentations of 15 minutes or less that travel advisors can view at their convenience to keep up to date with the company’s latest news.
The sales team members will discuss product developments and destination insights, to new offers and initiatives, including the recently launched Cruise with Confidence program and the Double Bonus promotion, which enables guests to book a cruise with $1,000 reduced deposits per suite and receive $1,000 to spend onboard spending credit.
In the latest video, Joe Leon, VP of field sales, Barbara Staiger, VP of key accounts, and Christian Sierralta, VP of national accounts and Latin America, provided an update on new incentive programs and other tools for travel advisors.
“We understand how difficult it can be for travel advisors to keep up with scheduled webinars, so we have created these convenient online videos, hosted by a familiar Silversea face, as a way to stay connected and to update our partners at their leisure,” Barbara Muckermann, Silversea’s Chief Marketing Officer, said in a statement.
Silversea’s Virtual Visits will be delivered by email, via the popular Explore newsletter, to the cruise line’s travel partners. Travel advisors requiring additional information may contact the Silversea sales support team by calling 1-800-722-9955.
