A new webinar program aimed at North American travel advisors is underway at Costa Cruises. The five-session series known as "All Aboard Costa" begins July 7, and continues at six-week intervals into the new year.
Sessions run 30-45 minutes and are followed by a live question-and-answer segment during which advisors can pose questions to Priscilla Reyes, head of sales for Costa Cruises North America. A raffle for a $50 Amazon gift card will be held at each session with every attendee entered automatically.
Three of the five topics have been finalized so far. The July 7 installment, "An Introduction to the Costa Brand," will look at the line's Italian-inspired hospitality style along with its onboard product and guest experience. On Aug. 18, "A Guide to Available Tools" will walk advisors through the marketing and sales resources Costa makes available to them. The Sept. 29 session, "Costa's Winter Destinations," will focus on the brand's winter itineraries and how to match them to client interests. Two additional topics are expected to be disclosed at a later date.
"Supporting our travel advisors is a top priority for Costa and our new webinar series is a natural extension of this commitment, [which also] includes our new Cruisetelling educational course and redesigned Costa Extra portal," Reyes said. "Our goal is to connect with advisors each month in a live environment to share what makes Costa so special and provide everything they need to confidently bring Costa to their clients."
Notice of the webinars will go out by email to advisors who have opted into Costa communications and will also appear on Costa Extra, the line's dedicated advisor portal. For those who cannot attend a live session, recordings will be made available afterward on Costa Extra to advisors who register.
