VIDEO Talking Cruise: Ian Patterson with MSC Cruises on La Romana, Fly & Cruise, and What’s Ahead

I sat down with Ian Patterson of MSC Cruises to discuss the cruise line’s plans for La Romana in the Dominican Republic, Fly & Cruise packages, and how advisors can earn big money on the air portion of those packages — and in other markets as well. MSC Cruises is expanding its focus on the Canadian market, with new opportunities designed to make cruising easier to sell and more rewarding for travel advisors.

Patterson also shares insight into MSC’s continued growth, its evolving cruise offering and why Canada is playing an increasingly important role in the company’s plans. He also discusses MSC’s significant commitment to Canada, including its fully operational Canadian offices, dedicated call centre and group support for the travel advisor community — a level of in-market infrastructure that sets MSC apart from many of its cruise competitors.
