It’s your week with Norwegian Cruise Line. Starting today (Dec. 7) and continuing until Friday, NCL’s “Week of You,” features a series of virtual events designed to inspire and support travel advisors as they prepare for the industry’s long-awaited comeback.
Travel counsellors will have access to exclusive content and opportunities to engage with A-list lifestyle experts and business leaders, among them best-selling author and purpose coach Jay Shetty; Queer Eye’s design guru Bobby Berk; award-wining winemaker Michael Mondavi; business advisor Peter Sheahan; Facebook’s Head of Travel Colleen Coulter, and others.
Topics will range from tips on how to establish and maintain healthy mental well-being and mindfulness to do-it-yourself home office makeovers for a more productive work environment and leveraging social media platforms for client engagement and to grow sales.
In addition to the lifestyle and educational workshops, the cruise line will host dedicated sessions where travel partners will have the opportunity to engage with NCL executives and sales reps to help prepare for the brand’s upcoming return to cruise.
Attendees can further their knowledge on the NCL guest experiences and product offerings with discussions focused on group sales, upcoming promotions, highlighted itineraries and more.
Advisors are invited to sign up to attend the Metro Meeting that accommodates their region and best serves their business goals and clients’ needs. (The event starts at 5 p.m. today in all time North American time zones). Participation is free.
“As a former travel advisor, myself, I understand firsthand the work that goes into and is needed to support a successful business,” says Harry Sommer, president and CEO of NCL. “With ‘Week of You,’ we took a vested approach to go beyond conventional thinking and methods to really provide our travel partners with actionable takeaways that they can use to not only better their business, but themselves as well.
“We are in this together, and together we will overcome the challenges from this historical year and soon deliver the vacation dreams our guests have been long waiting for.”
With new content made available daily, travel advisors are encouraged to review each lifestyle and educational workshop completed for a chance to win a commemorative gift. In addition, for every session attended, participants will be entered into a drawing for a seven-day cruise. The more sessions attended, the greater the chance to win.
“Fuelled by the spirit of our Partners First philosophy, which places a special focus on our travel advisors, we understand that in order for us to be at our best, our travel partners have to be at their best, which is why we’re rolling out programming that’s intended to reinvigorate, refocus and reenergize them in a holistic way,” says NCL chief sales officer Katina Athanasiou.
The five-day “Week of You” event will close out with a performance from the Tony Award-winning production “Million Dollar Quartet,” featured on Norwegian Getaway, exclusively for event participants.
