Disney Cruise Line is once again adjusting its commission rate tiers for travel agencies, increasing the sales threshold required to earn more than the initial 10 percent rate in 2021.

The company has updated its travel agent commission policy for sailings booked beginning January 1, 2020, confirming the new rates in a letter to agents.

The 2021 commission rates will be adjusted to the following levels:

-Agencies booking less than $82,000 will receive a 10 percent commission rate.

-Agencies booking between $82,000 and $161,999 will receive an 11 percent commission rate.

-Agencies booking between $162,000 and $354,999 will receive a 12 percent commission rate.

-Agencies booking between $355,000 and $516,999 will receive a 13 percent commission rate.

-Agencies booking between $517,000 and $691,999 will receive a 14 percent commission rate.

-Agencies booking between $692,000 and $1,771,999 will receive a 15 percent commission rate.

-Agencies booking $1,772,000 or greater will receive a 16 percent commission rate.

For perspective, agencies with 2019 revenues between $78,000-$153,999 received 11 percent commission for 2020.
