Welcome to the first episode of our brand-new podcast series ‘How to sell’, where we provide a succinct selling guide for a particular cruise line to help you boost your sales and reach more customers

It can sometimes feel like there’s a new ship, itinerary or cruise deal to pitch to your clients every week, and while this is good news for travel agents looking to grow their sales, keeping up to date can sometimes feel overwhelming.

This new ten-minute selling guide from the Cruise Corner Podcast is designed to help you cut through the noise while enhancing your understanding of the industry’s most sought-after operators.

First up, we shine the spotlight on Virgin Voyages, with UK sales director SJ Walker joining us in the studio to share three essential tips for pitching the adults-only cruise line to your clients.

Last week, Walker joined the Cruise Corner Podcast to discuss Virgin Voyages’ recent takeover of Cruise Trade News and how her glittering career in cruise has driven her to lead one of the industry’s most exciting operators.

Co-host-hosts Jack Carter and Will Payne also took a look back at the whirlwind start to the year for World of Cruising and Cruise Trade News. The duo further discussed January’s CTN Investigates, which looks at the potential impact recent rulings by the CMA and ASA on price transparency could have on the cruise industry.
