Regent Seven Seas Cruises is launching its Travel Advisor Appreciation Month 2026 this November. The program features expert-led discussions about specific locations and voyages.
These talks aim to provide professionals with insights they can use for sales. The initiative involves collaborations with various tourism boards.
Expert-Led Destination Guides
The series begins on November 3 with a look at Nagasaki. Steve Odell, a global luxury brand ambassador, and Harriett Bougher from the Japan National Tourism Organization will discuss the city’s trading quarters.
They’ll also talk about the international heritage of the region. The goal is to help partners explore how advisors can bring these experiences to life for clients.
On November 10, Odell joins Clair Neil of Tourism Monaco. They’ll examine the gastronomy and history of Monaco and Monte Carlo.
This talk moves beyond the race circuit and superyachts. It focuses on the character of local neighborhoods.
Regional Highlights and Agent Tools
Anji Montgomerie and Emanuele Attanasio from the Italian National Tourist Board will cover Bari. They’ll highlight the city’s seafront and the local tradition of making orecchiette pasta.
By focusing on specific local traditions rather than general landmarks, the company aims to help agents differentiate their luxury offerings.
The session on November 24 features Stacey Hill and Nathan McLoughlin from Destination Canada. They’ll tour the fortified streets of Quebec City and Montmorency Falls.
Every single one of these presentations is delivered as a pre-recorded video for easy access.
Support for Travel Partners
Each weekly video comes with a marketing toolkit. These resources help travel agents convert inspiration into client bookings.
Lisa Pile, the managing director for APAC, said the company values the support of its travel partners. She noted that these tools are a way of saying thank you.
She hopes the program helps professionals increase revenue from their clients. The toolkit is designed to turn interest into future sales.
It also highlights shore excursions that are unlimited and free.
