AmaWaterways Launches ‘Cruise for Gold’ Incentive for Travel Advisors

AmaWaterways is celebrating the summer games with its own “Cruise for Gold” travel advisor incentives, offering Gold, Silver and Bronze Medals to three travel advisors, according to a press release.

A Gold Medal winner will receive a suite on AmaWaterways’ 12-day Secrets of Egypt and the Nile River cruise, departing between September 2024 and March 2025, along with Business Class roundtrip air from Turkish Airlines. A Silver Medal winner will get a twin-balcony stateroom on any European itinerary, excluding Portugal, within the same date range. A Bronze Medal winner will be awarded a French balcony stateroom on any European itinerary, excluding Portugal, also within the same date range. All prizes are for a travel advisor and a guest, subject to availability.

For this purpose, Amawaterways has introduced a new Flavors of Burgundy itinerary for 2024, exploring the Burgundy region. Additionally, guests can opt for one of the two new offerings in 2025, the 14-night Grand Seine and Bordeaux and the Grand Seine and Rhône itinerary, combining the best of French history, art, food and wine.

“Over the coming weeks the eyes of the world will be on France,” said Alex Pinelo, senior vice president of sales at AmaWaterways. “Every day, millions of people will be watching live streams from many parts of France, and this will undoubtedly bring the destination to the forefront of their minds. It’s not just Paris that will be hosting events, Bordeaux, Marseille and Lyon are all operating as Summer Games venues and will be in the spotlight too. The travel advisor community has a great opportunity to capitalize on France’s high profile and earn both great commissions and fabulous prizes.”

Travel advisors are automatically entered for each new fully-deposited booking on any 2024 and 2025 French itinerary made between July 26 and September 8, 2024. More bookings mean more entries. Winners will be drawn at random and announced on September 9.
