The American Society of Travel Agents (ASTA) and Royal Caribbean have joined forces to commemorate the cruise line’s Travel Partner Appreciation Month with attractive cruise rates for prospective members who join the Society and those who renew their membership in September 2025.

The cruise rates are available on 100 Royal Caribbean destinations such as Mexico, the Caribbean and The Bahamas, on sailings ranging from two to eight nights.

Royal Caribbean will also donate $50 for each Appreciation booking toward the ASTA Advocacy Fund, which “directly supports ASTA’s efforts to protect and advance the travel advisor community at every level of government, ASTA said.

“Royal Caribbean has been a steadfast partner to travel advisors, and this initiative underscores the strength of our industry when we work together,” said Michael Schottey, ASTA vice president of membership, marketing and communications.

“By rejoining or renewing your membership, not only do you unlock these discounted cruise rates, but you also strengthen ASTA’s ability to advocate, educate, and elevate the travel advisor profession.”
