You’re invited to an exclusive sales event!
CRYSTAL Cruises is inviting the SA travel industry to participate in
another Exclusive Sales Event, open to just a few select industries
across the world. The event is valid until July 31 and lets agents
show clients the value they offer, as the exclusive price offers are not
available online or through most international agencies. Aside from
special deals, the event offers up to US$750pp (R8 000) on-board
credit. This can be used towards shore excursions, private tours or
spa vouchers – activities that clients would usually have to pay for.
To participate in the event, agents can visit www.shipmates.co.za, for
a list of the 2014 and 2015 sailings as well as the on-board credits
per sailing. Alternatively, use the following link http://www.cruises.
