Cruise Planners Wins the Highest Award from Royal Caribbean International

For the first time ever, Cruise Planners won the Chairman’s Award for Overall Achievement from Royal Caribbean International.  

“Winning the Chairman’s Award is like winning the Oscar’s in the travel industry,” said Michelle Fee, CEO and co-founder of Cruise Planners. “We are thrilled to have earned Royal’s highest honor, and our partnership with them is something our travel agents value.”

As the nation’s largest network of home-based travel professionals, Cruise Planners has continued to increase sales using proprietary technology and marketing tools such as revamped mobile apps, triggered emails, fully-integrated marketing campaigns, continuous and on-demand travel agent training and more. This marks Cruise Planners’ ninth consecutive award from Royal Caribbean based on sales; previous year’s awards include the President's Award for Overall Achievement and the Home-based Partner of the Year Award.

“Royal Caribbean is delighted to name our 2015 Travel Partners of the Year to recognize these incredibly successful and meaningful partnerships,” said Vicki Freed, senior vice president of Sales, Trade Support and Services, Royal Caribbean International. “We are driven by our ongoing commitment to travel agents and are very proud to acknowledge these travel partners who have displayed an exemplary commitment to our brand and achieved significant growth in their business with us.”

Cruise Planners and Royal Caribbean have a long history of collaboration, and this month they launched the signature “Come Sail Away with Me” marketing campaign, which encourages clients to travel on Royal Caribbean with their Cruise Planners travel expert.
