TIPTO & Ambassador Cruise Line Host Exclusive Summer Ship Events for Agents

TIPTO has announced an exciting summer collaboration with Ambassador Cruise Line, offering travel agents exclusive onboard lunch events. These unique experiences will take place aboard Ambassador’s ships, Ambience and Ambition, on 21 July at Tilbury Port, London, and 30 July at Newcastle Port. Attendees will enjoy first-hand exposure to the Ambassador product, alongside TIPTO’s signature networking opportunities with its full lineup of supplier members.

Each on-board event will run from 10am until 3pm and offer agents a full ship tour to familiarise themselves with this unique cruise product, a seated FIVE course lunch and drinks at tables hosted by the TIPTO supplier members and wider networking opportunities over tea and coffee. Agents can book their place at one of these events now by registering their interest to [email protected] where they will then be sent a link to complete their registration.

Comments Lorna Willis-Edwards, Director, Spirit Marketing & Events, the appointed secretariat of travel trade marketing organisation TIPTO: “We are delighted to be working closely with the Ambassador team to bring our agents a new take on our famed style of networking. Being able to host onboard a cruise ship heightens the experience for our agent attendees, immersing them first hand into a supplier’s product, whilst also offering face2face training with our entire supplier member roster.”

“TIPTO is continually looking for ways to diversify its offering and bringing a product to life at one of our events offers a deeper level of understanding. And of course, we have a stunning lunch setting and networking opportunities taking place as well. Places at these events are set to be highly sought after so be sure to register soon!”

Adds Louise Tansey, Divisional Sales Manager, Ambassador Cruise Line: “We’re delighted to be working with TIPTO to showcase our fleet to agents and suppliers in July. Whether onboard our first lady of the sea, Ambience, in London Tilbury or her sister ship, Ambition, in Newcastle Port, these summer lunch events offer the trade a fantastic opportunity to experience a taste of what Ambassador has to offer its guests. We know there is nothing like experiencing our amazing product first hand, and we’re looking forward to offering the ‘warmest welcome at sea’ to our trade partners this summer and sharing what makes Ambassador so special.”

In addition to these exclusive lunches, agents can still join one of TIPTO’s 2025 Tour events with spaces at the following locations currently available:
