More than 500 travel agents from the EMEA region—including 90 from Spain—have boarded Royal Caribbean’s Legend of the Seas to participate in the largest Seminar at Sea, featuring four days of immersive training and first-hand experiences aboard the line’s newest cruise ship.
Travel agents participated in three training sessions that gave them a better understanding of the Royal Caribbean vacation experience, from exploring onboard experiences and suite-style staterooms to learning about Royal Caribbean’s main ports of call and portfolio of new destinations. The Seminar at Sea also featured the new AI-powered simultaneous translation tool from the brand, which provides access to translated audio and subtitles in each agent's preferred language.
Beyond the training sessions, the program is designed to immerse sales representatives in the product they sell. The Legend Quest, which debuted during the ship’s pre-debut cruise earlier this summer, has allowed sales representatives to explore Legend of the Seas through an interactive, gamified experience.
Departing from Barcelona, the Seminar at Sea allowed travel agents to experience the ship’s 40 different dining, drinking, and entertainment options—from the new Hollywoodland Supper Club to the Broadway hit *Charlie and the Chocolate Factory* by Roald Dahl—along with visits to Palma de Mallorca and La Spezia. The program is part of Royal Caribbean’s ongoing investment in its travel partners, equipping agents with firsthand product knowledge and tools to sell Royal Caribbean vacations with greater confidence.
Welcoming the travel agents on board, Gerard Nolan, Vice President and General Manager for EMEA at Royal Caribbean, said: “Our largest Seminar at Sea is yet another example of our ongoing commitment to the travel agent community. We’re bringing together hundreds of travel agents from across EMEA aboard the Legend of the Seas, giving them the opportunity to experience our latest vacations firsthand and equipping them with the knowledge and confidence to sell Royal Caribbean even more successfully. There’s no substitute for experiencing one of our vacations for yourself, and over the next four days, we’ll combine intensive training with plenty of opportunities to explore the ship, enjoy the destinations, and, most importantly, spend time together. Our travel agents are essential to our success, and we’ll continue to invest significantly in them.”
