Southampton, 15 January 2013 – Deemed as ‘Blue Monday’ the most depressing day of the year, it was anything but at Regent Seven Seas Cruises yesterday as the Reservations team received an unprecedented number of calls from both past guests and enquirers wishing to book a cruise. This was a record-breaking day with the highest January call volumes ever recorded by the most inclusive luxury cruise line.
The line has been working hard to increase its brand awareness among agents and consumers with national press advertising, building its online presence, working closer with its key agents as well as developing relations with smaller agents wishing to sell ultra-luxury cruises. Subsequently, momentum is strong, predominantly driven by the appeal of their all-inclusive fares which includes: return flights, transfers, pre-cruise hotel stay, unlimited shore excursions, all fine dining, all beverages and gratuities.
“We are firmly establishing ourselves as the market leader of all-inclusive, ultra-luxury cruising. Travellers are really beginning to understand and appreciate the value proposition of our all-inclusive philosophy, without compromise. Add the fact that agents have an opportunity to earn some of the highest earnings in the industry, due to commissions being paid on virtually all elements of their cilents’ cruise holiday, agents and guests alike are clearly buying into the benefits of selling and purchasing a Regent cruise” said Graham Sadler, managing director UK and Europe.
The introduction of a pre-cruise hotel stay on all of Regent’s itineraries this year along with FREE internet on select 2013 sailings booked by 31 March has also added to their value proposition.
