Regent Seven Seas Cruises is celebrating its sixth annual Travel Advisor Appreciation Month with a series of recorded discussions on destinations, voyages and included shore excursions across Japan, Monaco, Italy and Canada.
The cruise line has partnered with tourism boards on the series, which it says aims to uncover the stories, flavours and experiences that make each destination worth discovering.
“These easy-to-access destination discussions and marketing toolkits are our way of saying thank you to [our trade partners],” says Lisa Pile, Regent Seven Seas Cruises’ md luxury group Asia Pacific.
