Agents Can Vie For First Spot Aboard U by Uniworld

Calling all social media savvy travel agents!

Want an exclusive spot on the very first U by Uniworld sailing – an invitation-only “Sneak Peek” U cruise from Oct. 7-11?

The new brand from Uniworld Boutique River Cruise Collection, which offers fun, immersive, authentic and adventurous travel experiences for 21-45-year-olds, launched a contest for travel agents from around the world, including Canada, to be among the first to set sail with U by Uniworld in October.

According to Ellen Bettridge, president & CEO of Uniworld, the decision to host a contest versus hosting a traditional fam trip was easy.

“We simply do not have the space to accommodate the tremendous enthusiasm for our exciting new brand,” she said. “Instead, we’ve decided to add to the fun by giving motivated agents the chance to win their spot on our special, preview sailing.”

With a Paris to Paris itinerary and by-invitation-only guest list featuring top social influencers, media and contest winners, agents lucky enough to join the debut celebration launch will fully experience U, with a mix of the best onboard and onshore “U Time” experiences.

To enter, agents ages 21-45 must create and post a 30-second video to the U by Uniworld Facebook page sharing how they are going to sell U, tagging #I’mGonnaSellU to their post. Uniworld’s internal Advisory Board will vote on the final winners from entries with the most likes on Facebook. Selected content will be featured on ubyuniworld.com.

Entries will be accepted now through Aug. 15 at 11:59 p.m. The voting process will take place between Aug. 16-22, and the winners will be announced Aug. 23.
