Royal Caribbean has launched a loyalty and rewards programme for travel agents in the UK and Ireland.
Called Upper Deck, the new programme is introducing increased payouts, with agents now able to earn up to £500 for each booking.
Rewards will be delivered on a prepaid digital Mastercard after the booking has been confirmed.
These include £15 for bookings of £2,000 or more; £30 for bookings of £5,000 or more; £60 for bookings of £10,000 or more; £150 for bookings of £25,000 and more; and £500 for bookings of £50,000 or more.
Upper Deck members who make group bookings will receive a standard £10 for each reservation. Agents who book their own holidays with Royal Caribbean will also receive £100 on their Mastercard to spend anywhere they choose.
in addition, the new Upper Deck 100 club is open to agents who achieve more than £100,000 total revenue in Royal Caribbean holidays within a given year. Plenty of invitations can be unlocked too, including previews of new ships and annual ship visits.
To celebrate the launch, Royal Caribbean will invite the 12 agents with the highest value bookings made from September 3 to October 1 to a five-night sailing from Miami on Independence of the Seas, departing November 11.
Aaron Langford, Senior Sales Director for UK and Ireland at Royal Caribbean International, said: “Travel partners are a cornerstone of Royal Caribbean and we have listened to their feedback to reimagine how they are rewarded by incentivising their efforts in securing higher-value bookings.
“With Upper Deck, we are excited to raise the game on the earning potential for agents supporting our business and I can’t wait to welcome more agents, both new to the brand and new to cruise, as a result.”
