MSC Cruises opens online academy with agent incentives

MSC Cruises USA has opened an online academy for North
American travel agents with training materials to help them better sell the
product.

The academy consists of a variety of courses, quizzes and
checkpoints that detail MSC Cruises’ history, fleet and onboard experiences.

The program provides a platform for ongoing communication
amongst travel agent participants. Notes and resources, provided by other
agents, will be available to create a shared learning space to exchange
knowledge and expertise with others in the industry.

To kick off MSC Academy, any agent who registers for the new
course by May 31 will be entered to win a seven-night Caribbean cruise.

In addition, agents who complete the course prior to the MSC
Seaside christening will be invited to a one-night inaugural celebration aboard
the new ship from Dec. 22-23, 2017, subject to availability.

MSC Cruises will also offer the following booking bonuses
upon completion of the course: $50 bonus commission on first new FIT booking, $100
bonus commission on first new FIT MSC Yacht Club booking, double MSC Rewards
points for all new FIT bookings through the end of 2017.
