Explora Journeys has unveiled a new rewards program for advisors who embraced the new Explora Journeys brand and have booked at least one journey for clients during the brand's inaugural year of operation.
Advisor Perks
Called Pioneers, the status offers an invitation for a travel advisor and a guest to join a complimentary Educational Insider First Look journey between 17JUL, 2023, and 31MAY, 2024, as well as access to Explora Journeys' Travel Advisor Fares for personal travel.
MSC's new luxury, small-ship brand is also introducing special referral benefits for engaging with other travel advisors and referring them to Explora Journeys, including a bonus commission on all new bookings made by the referred travel advisor in 2023.
Explora Journeys is approaching the inaugural journey of its first luxury ship, EXPLORA I, on 17JUL, 2023, from Southampton, UK for a 15-night journey into the Norwegian fjords and the Arctic Circle concluding in Copenhagen, Denmark.
