Celebrity runs Aer Lingus competition

Celebrity Cruises is giving travel agents the chance to win a 14-night Caribbean Cruise.

To enter into the prize draw, agents must make a new Celebrity booking between April 1 and May 31, 2017 that includes flights with Aer Lingus or advertise the partnership in store or on social media.

The prize is a 14-night sailing from Miami on Celebrity Eclipse including return flights. The transatlantic flight will be taken from Dublin, where passengers can pre-clear US customs, however, Celebrity will include flights to Dublin in the prize.

There are three ways for agents to enter:

• Promote the Celebrity Cruises and Aer Lingus fly/cruise holiday on Facebook, their website or in the shop window to receive one entry credit into the prize draw.
• Make one fly/cruise booking with Celebrity Cruises and Aer Lingus flights to receive two entry credits into the prize draw
• Make one Celebrity Cruises Suite Class booking with Aer Lingus flights, or book a Celebrity Cruises sailing with business class Aer Lingus flights to receive two entries into the prize draw

Claire Stirrup, director of sales, Celebrity Cruises UK and Ireland, said: “It is fantastic to be able to reward our agents for their hard work and we are excited to be able to offer this new incentive in partnership with Aer Lingus. Ireland is a strong market for us and we value the support of our trade partners that continue to sell Celebrity Cruises to our Irish guests. We hope to see as many of our trade partners as possible getting entries into the prize draw, and would like to wish them all the best of luck.”

Jenny Rafter, head of business development – Leisure, Aer Lingus said: “We are excited to begin our new direct service from Dublin to Miami on 1st Sept 2017, operating three flights per week. The convenience of US preclearance for our Irish and UK connecting in Dublin airport means they are seen as domestic passengers when they arrive into the US and makes for a seamless vacation experience. As Ireland’s only 4 star Skytrax airline flying to the US we are delighted to team up with Celebrity Cruises to offer our valued trade partners the chance to win this amazing fly/cruise experience.”

The new incentive will offer one agent partner the opportunity to experience Celebrity Eclipse ahead of its arrival into Dublin when it will be the first ship to homeport in the city for a mini season in April 2018.
