Travel agents can now elevate their 2025 wave sales by participating in an exciting competition organised by Cruise Plus. The incentive involves a rewarding opportunity to win a £4,000 holiday fund, which can be allocated towards an extravagant cruise-and-stay experience. To qualify, agents must make a Cruise Plus package booking between now and 31 October 2024, with each booking granting entry into a prize draw.
Cruise Plus is committed to ensuring agents have all the tools needed for success. They have published an array of marketing assets designed to bolster cruise-and-stay holiday promotions. A printed book has already been distributed to over 300 agents across the UK. This comprehensive package also includes posters, social media content, and a wealth of downloadable information from Cruise Plus’ campaign hub at goldmedal.co.uk/cruise-plus.
With an expansive network of partnerships, Cruise Plus offers unique access to out-of-date range flights and exceptional accommodation rates. This allows for crafting high-quality cruise-and-stay packages that cater to increasing market demand. Mark Henderson, head of specialist product at Cruise Plus, notes a surge in bookings, with 70% of clients scheduling trips six months to a year in advance. There has also been an 18% increase in bookings more than 365 days in advance.
Cruise Plus has observed a significant growth in luxury cruise bookings since April 2023, marking a 338% increase. This trend underscores the expanding interest in high-end travel, evidenced by the recent inclusion of Regent Seven Seas in their distinguished portfolio.

Cruise Plus meticulously segments departures into three distinct periods, catering to diverse traveller needs. Options include last-minute sun seekers departing before April 2025, family-friendly summer escapes, and autumn-winter adventures supported by premium flight configurations. By highlighting the ‘plus’ icon on their website, agents and clients can uncover unique, curated experiences such as rail journeys, guided tours, and exclusive city stays.
