Costa Cruises has concluded the 24th edition of "Protagonists of the Sea," an exclusive cruise aboard the Costa Pacifica, packed with events and activities that the company organizes each year to recognize the work of travel agents. This year, the voyage began on April 1st in Civitavecchia (Rome), visiting destinations such as Savona and Marseille, before arriving in Barcelona.
Over the past few days, the traditional "Protagonists of the Sea 2017" awards ceremony has taken place, where the company has recognized the best travel agents of 2016. Once again, numerous agencies from different regions have received awards in various categories. Among them, Viajes El Corte Inglés stands out, winning the "Over the Top" award, which recognizes the company's excellence as partner of Costa Cruises. Meanwhile, the Association of Deafblind People of Castile and León received an honorary award for its work in the comprehensive development of this community.
This latest edition of “Protagonists of the Sea” allowed all attendees to enjoy a comprehensive program of activities. Travel agents, in addition to gaining in-depth knowledge of Costa Cruises' products and services, had the opportunity to meet with the company's top executives and discover Costa's major new offerings and innovative proposals for the upcoming season. Three action-packed days also included plenty of fun and entertainment thanks to the numerous activities and events organized. Attendees enjoyed cocktails, gala dinners, themed parties, and exclusive excursions created especially for this highly anticipated event.
On these excursions, the company's main partners were able to discover the cities of Savona in a unique and attractive way, with a tour through the Cathedral of San Lorenzo and a visit to its museums, and Marseille, where they could choose between a panoramic tour of the city, or get to know the "Vélodrome", the stadium of Olympique de Marseille, in an exclusive way.
Raffaele D'Ambrosio, Managing Director of Costa Cruises for Spain and Portugal, stated: “At Costa Cruises, we are delighted to continue celebrating our success with our key partners, the Travel Agents. Thanks to their feedback and extensive knowledge of the industry and the consumer, we have been able to continue innovating, improving our product, and adapting to our customers. This ongoing collaboration is something we want to acknowledge and celebrate at each edition of “Protagonists of the Sea,” because without them there would be no success, and because with them we continue to offer the best onboard vacation experience. We also wanted to recognize the invaluable work of the media, which helps us reach and disseminate our message to a wider audience.”
