Crystal will now pay travel advisor commissions earlier than before on all cruise bookings, the luxury cruise line announced today from Miami.
The new payment structure allows advisors to receive commissions starting 50 days before departure for cruises under 40 nights and 90 days prior for longer voyages, once bookings are paid in full and within the cancellation penalty period. For Crystal's 20% Explorer Fare bookings, commissions will be paid within 30 days of final payment.
"Travel advisors are at the heart of our success, and we recognize the importance of providing them with the financial support they deserve — faster," said Matias Lira, senior vice president of trade sales Americas, UK & EMEA for Crystal.
The accelerated payment policy applies retroactively to existing qualifying bookings. Crystal will process payments within 30 days for standard bookings and in coming months for Explorer Fare bookings that meet the criteria.
Advisors can contact their Crystal representative or visit the travel advisor portal at crystalcruises.com for additional details.
