Agents Win Cruise Tours From Princess Cruises

Mar 03, 2010

Three lucky travel agents will be enjoying some time in the Alaskan wilderness courtesy of Princess Cruises’ Alaska Expert certification program. The winning agents, Katherine Godsey of Atlas World Class Travel in Inglefield, Ind.; Susan Costello of Kelly Cruises in Clarendon Hills, Ill.,; and Kathleen Butwick of Pauwels Travel Bureau in Brantford, Ontario, Canada, each completed the line’s Alaska Expert program and were selected in a drawing to win a Princess cruisetour to the heart of Alaska.

Nearly 3,000 travel agents have completed the Princess Alaska Expert program, which is part of the company’s online Princess Academy. The special four-course unit offers agents in-depth information on Princess cruisetours and the best way to plan a client’s Alaska vacation.

“Congratulations to these winning agents,” said Jan Swartz, Princess Cruises executive vice president of sales, marketing and customer service. “We know they will enjoy this opportunity to experience firsthand the majesty of Alaska and spend time in Denali and Glacier Bay national parks.
