Costa Cruises Launches Educational Course Specifically for North American Travel Advisors

Costa Cruises has launched “Costa Cruisetelling,” an educational course designed specifically for North American travel advisors.

The course consists of six training modules created to help North American travel advisors better understand the cruise line’s Italian heritage, onboard experience, and unique positioning. Each module is intended to be completed in under 10 minutes, followed by a quick multiple-choice quiz. Short videos and easy-to-digest content make the lessons engaging and easy to finish.  

“The best way to support travel advisors is by providing educational tools that are clear, engaging, and comprehensive,” said Priscilla Reyes, head of sales for Costa Cruises North America. “Over the past year, we’ve developed Costa Cruisetelling to deliver the insights and knowledge advisors need to confidently sell the brand. We’re excited for our partners to explore the course and feel inspired to introduce their clients to Costa.”

Modules include topics such as: Who Is Costa, Why Costa, The Costa Fleet, Costa’s Sea Destinations Concept, and more.

Travel advisors who pass the final quiz will be “Costa Certified” and receive a certificate in recognition of their knowledge of the main pillars of the brand, knowledge of the main products, and mastery of understanding the target audience.

All advisors who successfully pass “Costa Cruisetelling” will receive 10% off a Costa cruise booking to any destination in the world.
