Encore Cruises hosted its third annual “SEA U” event last week together with 100 participants from across Canada onboard the MSC Divina. Hailed as another big success by everyone who took part, the 2014 seminar-at-sea program – which sailed a one-week Eastern Caribbean itinerary out of Miami – ran from May 3-10 and featured information-packed sessions with 10 cruise line partners and airline partner WestJet, as well as outlooks on the Canadian cruise market and emerging trends, sales coaching sessions, and tips and tricks when it comes to social media marketing, among other topics. “SEA U 2014 was definitely the best one yet,” said Amr Younes, VP, Encore Cruises. “The venue was exceptional, with MSC Cruises going above and beyond; the content was informative and relevant, with agents rating the quality as ‘excellent’ in a survey we did afterwards; and everyone enjoyed every minute, with agents saying they would ‘definitely’ recommend SEA U to colleagues.”
