Azamara Cruises has launched its 2025 Travel Advisor Celebration, running from Sept. 1 through Oct. 31, to recognize travel professionals with exclusive tools, incentives and rewards.
The celebration features the introduction of a new Azamara World Academy chapter called "Destination Immersion," which provides training on the cruise line's signature experiences, including longer stays, cultural connections and bespoke excursions.
"At Azamara Cruises, travel advisors are the driving force behind our continued growth," said Michelle Lardizabal, chief sales officer, North America, for Azamara. "Their expertise, passion and dedication shape the Azamara experience. With initiatives like the Azamara World Academy, our new Destination Immersion training and expanded commission opportunities, we're proud to honor their contributions and empower their ongoing success with meaningful rewards and resources."
The new "Destination Immersion" chapter highlights several program expansions. Azamara is expanding from six to 22 experiences, encompassing the Monaco Grand Prix and British Open. The cruise line now offers over 13,500 shore experiences, with 246 evening and overnight options. Additionally, 34 new AzAmazing Evenings and Stories Under the Stars featuring Destination Speakers have been added to onboard programming. Food and beverage offerings have been enhanced with 150 new regional entrees; 21 local beers; and Destination Showcase, a poolside party full of cuisine and culture.
Travel advisors who complete all five Azamara World Academy chapters can access several rewards, including earning up to $1,000 in bonus commission on new FIT bookings made through Oct. 31. Other incentives include a chance to win an Azamara cruise after completing the Destination Immersion chapter and selling one Azamara cruise, and receiving up to 11 Cruise Lines International Association credits when finishing all academy chapters.
Additional rewards include weekly prizes for participating in the Travel Partner Alliance Facebook page, commemorative pins for the first 100 advisors to graduate from the Destination Immersion chapter, and double Group Amenity Points on new affinity groups booked during the celebration period through the end of October.
Travel advisors can access the program and the new Destination Immersion chapter through Azamara's connect portal.
