Amadeus River Cruises has launched the Amadeus Experts Program, a self-paced training course targeting travel advisors. The program is designed to accompany the line's live webinars and in-person gatherings.

The course consists of three chapters covering different aspects of the cruise line's operations. Chapter 1, "The Amadeus Experience," covers the company's family-owned heritage, European service style, fleet and onboard offerings. Chapter 2, "Itineraries & Destinations," provides information on the cruise line's routes, including the Danube, Rhine and Seine rivers, along with guidance on matching clients to appropriate itineraries. The final chapter, "Benefits of Partnering with Amadeus River Cruises," outlines available advisor resources, including booking tools, group policies, marketing support and access to the company's U.S.-based team.

Travel advisors who complete the program receive Amadeus Expert certification and gain access to several incentives. Certified experts are entered into a drawing for one of three complimentary cabins on a fam trip, though participants must complete the program by Sept. 30 to be eligible. Additionally, advisors receive a $150 bonus on their first booking made within 60 days of course completion and access to exclusive promotions and events.

"This program reflects our ongoing commitment to supporting the travel advisor community," said Marcus Leskovar, executive vice president of Amadeus River Cruises. "Whether you're new to Amadeus or have been selling us for years, this training is a powerful resource for building confidence and closing more sales."

The Amadeus Experts Program aims to help travel advisors expand their river cruise business knowledge and increase their confidence in selling the cruise line's products.
