Star Clippers’ UK trade team is set to host the line’s largest-ever travel agent fam trip

The company has invited 15 travel agents to embark Star Flyer for an eight-night sailing from Malaga to Rome later this month.

UK travel agents from The Cruise Village, Miles Morgan Travel, The Travel Bureau, Deva Travel, Iglu, Glen Travel, Gates Travel, Peakes Travel and more will experience the Mediterranean sailing on the tall-ship.

The itinerary will be divided in two parts, each giving agents a first-hand experience of sailing on the 166-capacity vessel.

Star Flyer will depart Malaga on 26 April before visiting Motril, Spain; Ibiza, Balearic Islands; Palma de Mallorca, Balearic Islands; Mahon, Balearic Islands; and Bonifacio, Corsica. It will arrive in Rome on 4 May.

Star Clippers fam ‘the ultimate way’ to educate agents, says UK boss

The two groups will be hosted by Nicola Cox, regional sales manager for the south, and Alison Jared, regional sales manager for the north.

General manager of Star Clippers in the UK, Fay McCormack, said: “Providing travel agents with the opportunity to experience a Star Clippers sailing first-hand is the ultimate way to educate industry partners about our unique product.

“We are delighted by the interest and enthusiasm for this upcoming trip and are excited for the agents’ experiences to be shared with new potential guests.”

Earlier this year, the line rewarded travel agents for bookings made throughout January 2024 with a range of prizes as part of its wave season campaign.
