Travel advisors can learn and win with Variety Cruises

Small ship cruise company Variety Cruises is announcing new special rates for travel advisors on all of its immersive itineraries available around the world in 2025, as well as a prize trip drawing for advisors who join the brand’s informative webinar on its most unique itinerary, taking place Dec. 17.

Variety’s brand director, Constantine Venetopoulos, whose grandfather founded the company in 1949, will host the event on Dec. 17 to share insights on the company’s most unique itinerary, its seven-day Rivers of West Africa trip, which sails roundtrip from either Dakar or Banjul bringing travelers along the waterways of Senegal and Gambia and visiting four natural reserves.

As the only cruise line sailing on the Gambia River since 2008, Venetopoulos will share his own experiences on the itinerary as well as the company’s charitable projects in the region, and provide advisors with an understanding of this cruise to empower them to confidently recommend and sell it to their clients.

All webinar attendees will be entered into a prize draw for a chance to win a free cruise for two on the itinerary this winter to experience it first-hand. The webinar will take place on Tuesday, Dec.17 at 6 pm EST, and will be recorded for those who cannot join live. Advisors who do not join live will not be eligible for the prize drawing.

And to further show its appreciation for the travel advisor community and to offer more accessible in-person opportunities for education, Variety is also announcing new special rates for 2025 on its varied itineraries around the globe – from traveller favourites and up-and-coming destinations in Europe such as Greece, Italy and Malta, to French Polynesia, Cape Verde and more – with rates as low as USD $550 per person on its seven-day cruises.

Travel advisors will be entitled to the discounts by filling out a travel inquiry form and sending it to Variety Cruises’ sales department along with proof of present employment and business card at [email protected].

The company, with a vision to create a better world at sea, hosts around 50 guests per sailing with a crew of 20 and provides its customers with experiences that are in-depth and community-driven while leaving a minimal footprint behind.
