ENROLMENT in the Seabourn
Academy, which was launched
earlier this year, has proven a boon
among agents keen to improve their
knowledge of luxury cruises.
There is now more than 150
agents signed up to the online
training program, with many having
already progressed through the
modules and successfully graduated.
The first to do so was Rachelle
Matheson of Jigsaw Travel in the
Melbourne suburb of Prahran,
who was surprised recently by two
Seabourn executives to present her
with her graduation certificate.
Seabourn vice president of int’l
sales and marketing Joe Slattery, on
a visit to Australia, joined with local Seabourn
director of sales and marketing Tony Archbold
to meet with Rachelle and congratulate her on
being the first Australian agent to complete
the training course.
“In line with the continued growth in
demand for luxury products, consultants are
showing a strong desire to learn as much as
they can about Seabourn,” Archbold said.
Matheson concurred, saying she was greatly
impressed with the level of detail in the
course, encouraging other agents to enrol.
“We have a lot of repeat clientele that cruise
on Seabourn and as I haven’t cruised myself, it
was a great opportunity to learn more about
the cruise line,” she said.
As an incentive for Australian agents, the
first 50 to complete the program will receive a
bonus $100 commission on their first Seabourn
booking if made within 60 days of completion.
