TIPTO has welcomed CroisiEurope Cruises to its line-up of supplier members for Year 21. Joining with immediate effect, CroisiEurope will be the association’s 21st member and brings over 40 years of river cruise experience to events. With the aim of growing and cementing agent relationships nationwide, TIPTO will ensure CroisiEurope’s affordable concept is understood by the UK trade, allowing them to better sell this river cruise product.
As a family run business, CroisiEurope offers fantastic value to customers via its 56 vessels that vary in size from just 16 to 198 passengers. Providing a variety of European river cruise destinations – from the well-known tributaries of the Rhine, to more unique options such as the Loire in France – CroisiEurope has also expanded its offering with six canal barges in France, a coastal cruiser in Croatia and in exotic destinations such as the Mekong River in Vietnam, Lake Kariba in Southern Africa as well as on it’s newest acquisition, the all-suite, 124 passenger ocean ship, La Belle Des Oceans which will be based in Canada in summer 2020.
John Fair, UK Sales Director, CroisiEurope Cruises, comments: “We are delighted to be joining TIPTO in its 21st year. The association’s well-established reputation and vast agent database will be fundamental to us achieving the goals we have set out for 2020.
TIPTO’s style of training and networking will be the key to us growing agent relationships, educating agents on our affordable style of river cruise, and generally supporting agents with the information they need to entice customers and secure sales.”
TIPTO Chairman, Nick Hughes, comments: “CroisiEurope is a great addition to our member portfolio and will sit perfectly within our already strong cruise credentials, adding an important dimension to our cruise training options.
I have no doubt that the Face2Face style of events TIPTO offers will support CroisiEurope’s goal of growing agent relationships nationwide and educating them on its varied and growing river cruise product, to help with those all-important sales targets.”
