Prestige Travel offers cruise prize to promote new Croatia brochure

Prestige Travel is offering agents the chance to win a cruise to promote its new Croatia, Montenegro and Slovenia brochure.

The operator has also revamped its website to help agents sell its destinations.

The 84-page brochure will reach travel agencies by the end of December and has been produced in response to agency demand for a printed product.

It offers self-drive trips, small group escorted tours, multi-centre itineraries, an expanded selection of properties and a broader range of small-ship cruises.

Agents who make bookings for Croatia, Slovenia or Montenegro from January 1-March 31, 2025, will automatically be entered into the ‘Win Your Own Cruise Holiday’ prize draw. Those who book a Croatian small-ship cruise will receive five entries.

The prize is a seven-day cruise for two people, sailing from Trogir to Dubrovnik, with stops at the islands of Korcula, Brac and Hvar, as well as Mljet National Park.

It is on a half-board basis including flights and transfers, and the draw will be held on April 4.

Joe Lavers, trade relationship manager, said: “This is not just an opportunity for agents to win an unforgettable cruise experience; every booking on our programmes also entitles agents to our ‘Paid Instantly on Booking Voucher’ incentive, allowing them to earn up to £250 depending on the booking’s value.”

New itineraries in the brochure include the Croatia Express tour from Split to Venice, costing £2,320 for five nights, departing on July 11, 2025, and the seven-day Jewels of Croatia and Slovenia, for £1,800, departing on May 7, 2025.

Meanwhile, new cruises for 2025 will include stops at the island of Lastovo, renowned for its 15th and 16th century Venetian architecture.

Lavers added: “Our revamped website gives agents an unparalleled opportunity to explore all our destinations, hotels and sample itineraries, particularly for sought-after short-haul options like the Canary Islands, Sicily, Madeira, Algarve and soon-to-be-added Malta.

“Our clients seek immersive adventures throughout the Adriatic region and this brochure is a definitive statement of our commitment to establishing ourselves as the preeminent experts in this vibrant European market.

“Our small-ship cruises along the Croatian coast continue to gain remarkable popularity, as do the opportunities to visit Slovenia and Croatia or combine Croatia and Montenegro.”

Nicky Shafe, short-haul programme manager, said: “I am thrilled about these new offerings and the extensive selection of handpicked hotels featured in the brochure especially the notable increase in our Chic and Boutique range, which includes smaller, family-run and unique properties.”
