CRYSTAL Cruise line reported a significant number of bookings for its 2027 World Cruise and announced that they are accelerating the payment of advisor commissions.

February may have had its political and economic ups and downs, but Canada is cruising strong at CRYSTAL Cruises, Jordana Botting, Regional Sales Director, Canada says.

“Across Canada, I’ve seen incredible demand for our 2026 Combo Voyages, and we’ve had a record-breaking number of Canadians booking the 2027 World Cruise—a spectacular 139-day journey from San Diego to Vancouver, with stops in South America, the South Pacific, Asia, and Alaska.”

Commission is now paid on bookings when the trip is paid in full and within the 100% penalty period. Advisors have more time to earn up to 20% extra commission on top of your standard commission for eligible sailings.

The new commission payment schedule is as follows:

Trips under 40 nights: Paid 50 days before departure

Trips 40+ nights: Paid 90 days before departure

Explorer Fare bookings: Paid within 30 days of final payment

Advisors are also encouraged to take advantage of their Travel Advisor Appreciation Fares, starting at just $210 CAD per person per night to gain valuable insight that will empower you to provide tailored recommendations for clients and expert advice.

“Over 90% of our business comes through trade,” Botting told Travel Market Report Canada last month at TMP Vancouver. “Our trade partners are important to the brand and I am a true believer in them. That’s what I have worked so hard for – supporting our travel advisors. They are the bread and butter of every travel product out there.”

Take advantage of our exclusive Travel Advisor Appreciation Fares, starting at just $210 CAD per person per night. Sail aboard our newly refurbished, elegant ships and indulge in world-class dining, entertainment, and onshore experiences. Most importantly, you’ll gain valuable insight that will empower you to provide tailored recommendations for your clients and expert advice.
