Explora to recognise its Pioneers

EXPLORA Journeys has announced its new travel advisor ‘Pioneer’ status, which will recognise and reward those who have embraced the cruise line from the start.

Advisors who have booked at least one journey during Explora’s inaugural year of operation are automatically offered Pioneer status, which provides an invitation to join a complimentary Educational Insider First Look journey between 17 Jul 2023 and 31 May 2024.

There will be special referral benefits for engaging with other advisors and mentioning Explora to them, including a bonus commission on all new bookings made this year by the referred agent.

Pioneers will also be offered access to Explora’s travel agent fares for personal travel.

For their client, Pioneers can offer 10% value savings on the next five journeys booked and departing this year; 5% value savings on the next five journeys booked and departing in 2024; and more.

Chief Sales Officer Chris Austin said as the cruise line approaches the maiden journey of its first ship Explora I (pictured) in

Jul, its ongoing commitment to the success and happiness of its travel agent community remains paramount, with the Pioneers initiative demonstrating its appreciation for the trade’s continuous support.

“Our travel agent community is the heart and soul of our industry, and from day one, we have been bold in creating industry-first initiatives to support not only our success but also theirs,” he said.

“We are sincerely grateful to our Pioneers and proud to equip them with the right tools to support the growth of their business and our mutual success.”

Travel advisors will be notified of their Pioneer status, and should reach out to their Business Relationship Lead and Head of Sales for more information.
