Carnival Panorama is third in the line’s highly successful Vista-class series, which are all named to reflect the connection between the vessels and the sea and highlighted by stunning indoor/outdoor spaces that create a truly unique seagoing holiday experience.

Like its name implies, Carnival Panorama will offer venues with both indoor and al fresco experiences, including the Fahrenheit 555 steakhouse, Library Bar, and Bonsai Sushi, along with open-air attractions like the SkyRide, WaterWorks, and SportSquare.

Cunard

We are delighted to be headline sponsor of this year’s Advantage Conference, at such an exciting time for Cunard, Advantage and its members.

In 2018, we are investing a seven-figure sum in the creation of a new Cunard trade partnership team, with the sole focus on developing our collaborative and profitable distribution through the UK travel trade. We believe this new 20+ strong organisation will create a step change in our trade engagement, and deliver profitable growth for us and our trade partners.

With this investment in trade partnerships, there has never been a better time to talk to your guests about travelling on Cunard and one of our three Queens. Whether that’s selling an iconic Transatlantic crossing on the world’s only ocean liner, The Queen Mary 2, booking a customer on to Queen Elizabeth to experience one of our new Alaska itineraries, or sharing the wonders of a holiday on board Queen Victoria, as she sails roundtrip Southampton to one of many destinations such as the Norwegian Fjords, the Mediterranean and the Baltic’s.

Conference is a fantastic opportunity to share with you Cunard’s mission to make our guests feel special, inspired and free. To name a few include ...

- The Cunard famous White Star Service. Providing service and attention to detail which goes above and beyond expectations – with one crew member for every two guests.
- Signature Cunard experiences. Guests are invited to experience everything from our famous Afternoon Tea to our spectacular gala balls.

2018 is a key year for us to ensure our agents understand our brand and how we are stand out in the cruise market. By making our agents feel special, inspired and free will give our agents an important part of our brand story.

In September 2017, we were proud to announce that we will be adding a fourth Queen to the fleet in 2022. We look forward to sharing our plans for the new ship with you and working with you to understand how we can capitalise on this fantastic investment.

The Advantage Conference is one of the highlights of the travel year, and we know that Miami 2018 will provide us with a great opportunity to meet with some of our key agent partners and, we trust, uncover some new opportunities. We look forward to meeting with you.
