Royal Caribbean Newcastle Airport and Lufthansa Host Event for the North East

On June 18th 2024, Royal Caribbean International hosted 28 travel partners from the North East of England at an event in partnership with Lufthansa Group and Newcastle International Airport (NCL). The informative event showcased the game changing holidays on offer from Royal Caribbean and raised awareness of the air routes run by Lufthansa that connect NCL airport to Royal Caribbean ships across the globe, including the USA, Europe and Asia.

As well as networking with like-minded agents in the area, this was an excellent opportunity for agents to meet with the teams from Royal Caribbean, Lufthansa Group and Newcastle International Airport to learn more about the various travel options available to their customers. Attendees heard from Kristi Reeser, EMEA Training Manager at Royal Caribbean International, on how to bring the cruise brand to life for their customers and were reminded of the innovative and effective sales tools available, such as the personalised digital brochure, My Royal Genie. Travel agent partners also had the firsthand opportunity to learn more about what to expect from Royal Caribbean’s up and coming ships, Utopia of the Seas, launching in July, and Star of the Seas, launching in 2025.

Ellie Lamb, Sales Development Manager, North East at Royal Caribbean said, “At Royal Caribbean it is so important to us to work hand-in-hand with our trade partners to grow their knowledge and develop their understanding of our brand. We always appreciate the opportunity to demonstrate to agents the value we provide to their customers, all from their local airport”.
