CCL-Carnival Cruise Line is expanding its presence in the UK trade market through a newly forged collaboration with USAirtours.
This partnership aims to enhance Carnival's trade-only booking office, known as Crew, which was established in 2022. Crew serves as the official booking platform for Carnival packages, offering agents the opportunity to sell Atol-bonded holidays at trade-specific rates through a dedicated team of specialists.
The collaboration with USAirtours provides agents with access to a wider array of package options, including flights, pre- and post-cruise accommodations, transfers, and attraction tickets.
This partnership further strengthens Carnival's ties within the industry, building upon its previous collaboration with supplier Aviate.
Carnival Cruise Line UK & international sales director Luke Smith said that by joining forces with USAirtours, they were enhancing the capabilities of Crew, ensuring that agents had the tools and resources they needed to create amazing cruise holidays for their customers.
“Our previous partnership with Aviate has been instrumental in laying the foundations for this progression, and we would like to thank them for their hard work and support over the last two years.”
