River Cruise Line AmaWaterways is celebrating Travel Advisor Appreciation in May by announcing seven new Seminar on the River cruises hosted by Business Development Managers. This includes the early opening of 20 FAM cruises on dates extending through November 2023. 

Travel advisors attending Webinar Wednesdays throughout the month will be entered into a weekly drawing for a European or Mekong River cruise for two. On June 7, a balcony stateroom will be awarded to one travel advisor who attended all five sessions. In addition, a Three Sail Free incentive provides travel partners the opportunity to earn a free cruise after making three new FIT reservations on any 2023 sailing.

Details about this year’s rewards and incentives is available via video here.

In a statement, Kristin Karst, co-founder and executive vice president of AmaWaterways said:

“Since the founding of AmaWaterways over 20 years ago, travel advisors have been at the heart of our company, contributing over 95% of our sales. We express appreciation to our travel partners all year long with special incentives, marketing support and training opportunities but the month of May is always a special time for our teams to go above and beyond and say thank you in other ways. “We encourage all travelers to begin their planning process by connecting with their preferred travel advisor as the impeccable services that they provide make vacation planning easy, allowing guests to relax while knowing everything is taken care of.’’

May Webinar Wednesdays, held each week at 10:30am Pacific / 1:30pm Eastern, will provide attendees the best tools to grow their river cruise sales with AmaWaterways. Travel partners can register for the special sessions at AmaWaterways Travel Advisor Portal or use the links below.
