In addition to the Celebrity Moments incentives, travel partners were able to earn on every booking with potential rewards available on all stateroom categories.

Claire Stirrup, Celebrity Cruises’ Senior Sales Director EMEA celebrated the news: “We are delighted to celebrate the success of our recent Celebrity Moments Winners, and the incredible response that we have received from travel agents across the UK and Ireland.

No matter their experience in selling cruise, agents have shown us unparalleled levels of support, and deserve to be celebrated! We look forward to welcoming travel partners onboard our ships this summer across Europe, with our extensive ship visit programme and seminars at sea; to inspire and excite them about what’s to come for Celebrity Cruises in 2024 and beyond.”
