(PRESS RELEASE) London, UK, 2024-Aug-22 — /Travel PR News/ — Royal Caribbean International is launching a groundbreaking loyalty programme called “Upper Deck” on 3 September, exclusively for travel agents in the U.K. and Ireland. Designed to enhance the value and ease of earning rewards, Upper Deck is set to revolutionise the way agents are incentivised for booking Royal Caribbean cruises.
This new programme offers significantly increased payouts, rewarding agents based on the value of their bookings. For the first time, agents can earn up to £500 per booking, with a sliding scale of rewards that begins at £15 for bookings of £2,000 and increases incrementally to £500 for bookings of £50,000 or more. The rewards will be credited to a prepaid digital Mastercard once the booking is confirmed, allowing agents to spend their earnings wherever they choose.
In addition to individual booking rewards, the programme introduces “Upper Deck 100,” an elite club for agents who generate over £100,000 in Royal Caribbean sales within a year. Members of this exclusive club will enjoy special benefits such as invitations to preview new ships and annual ship visits with their families.
To celebrate the launch of Upper Deck, Royal Caribbean is offering a unique incentive: the top 12 agents with the highest-value bookings between 3 September and 1 October will be treated to a 5-night cruise from Miami aboard Independence of the Seas. This special sailing will include a visit to the award-winning private destination, Perfect Day at CocoCay, in The Bahamas.
Aaron Langford, Senior Sales Director for the U.K. and Ireland at Royal Caribbean International, commented, “Upper Deck represents a new era in how we reward our travel partners. We are excited to offer this enhanced earning potential and look forward to welcoming more agents into our community.”
