Just noticed this press release from Crystal. Our TA’s agency belongs to Virtuoso and is looking into what this may mean for their clients. Does anyone know?
Crystal Named Preferred Partner of Global Luxury Travel Group Virtuoso®
As a preferred provider, Crystal will offer Virtuoso’s travel advisors exceptional experiences at sea that will delight their clients and create lifelong memories. Inclusion in Virtuoso will present new sales and marketing opportunities to the network’s more than 21,000 travel advisors and their highly desirable clientele. Virtuoso agencies worldwide sell an average of (U.S.) $28–$32 billion annually, making the network the most significant player in luxury travel.
“As a leader in the affluent travel category, Virtuoso is an ideal partner for Crystal as we look towards our return to service later this summer,” said A&K Travel Group CEO Cristina Levis. “The reputation Virtuoso member agencies have for outstanding dedication to their clients is a perfect fit with our own bespoke approach to service, and we are honored to have the opportunity to collaborate with their advisors and look forward to a long-term relationship.”
