Leading luxury cruise company from China, Century Cruises, officially opened for reservations in the United States on September 15—and to celebrate, it’s offering 30 percent commissions for travel advisors who book new cruises through October 15. 

The cruise line offers a range of cruises and cruisetours, from four- to five-day cruises on the Yangtze River to 18-day cruisetours combining China with other countries, like Vietnam and Japan. Cruisers can enjoy complimentary Chinese visas on two of the 18-day tours, making it easy to visit China. 

Century Cruises has just launched a U.S. office, complete with U.S.-based website and strategic partnerships with Seaware, Salesforce, United Waterways and eGroup Communication. It also has partnerships with Ensemble, Avoya Travel and Travel Planners International. 

The expanding cruise line is also hosting 40 travel advisors on a 14-day China experience this September. They’ll enjoy a firsthand cruisetour experience, which includes visits to Beijing, Xi’an and Shanghai, complete with a downstream cruise along the Yangtze from Chongqing to Yichang. 

“As we all know, the travel industry is one big family and supporting each other is essential. What better way to demonstrate that than by offering something rarely seen 30% commission for our travel partners,” said David Fredericks, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing.

Century Cruises is also offering Two-for-One Fares, plus a Free Air promotion, further encouraging new bookings.
