Carnival Cruise Line Expands Funnel Faves Travel Advisor Program with Ship Tours, Seminars at Sea

As part of its Funnel Faves program, Carnival Cruise Line is amping up its in-person travel advisor education with a lineup of 2026 ship tours and Seminars at Sea.

“No one delivers fun like Carnival, and that starts with giving travel advisors the chance to immerse themselves in that experience,” said Janet Wygert, senior vice president of trade sales and marketing. “By expanding our ship tours and Seminars at Sea, we’re reinforcing our commitment to giving them the tools they need to grow their business and connect with the Carnival brand.”

In total, Carnival will offer 60 tours across the fleet throughout 2026. Advisors will have complimentary access to key public spaces, lounges, and staterooms, and enjoy a hosted lunch onboard.

Additionally, Carnival will host eight Seminars at Sea, providing specially-discounted sailings that combine training with direct experience of Carnival’s entertainment and amenities. Other perks include a welcome cocktail reception with the sales team, training seminars, ongoing interaction with the sales team throughout the sailing, and fun swag.

Ship tours and Seminars at Sea are part of Carnival’s growing suite of training tools offered under the Funnel Faves umbrella. Both help advisors develop firsthand knowledge they can use to better guide clients and convert more bookings.

According to Carnival, travel advisors play an “essential role in Carnival’s guest experience and overall brand growth.” The Funnel Faves program will continue to expand throughout the year with new initiatives designed to help advisors understand the Carnival product better and grow their business.
