Agents will be given the opportunity to learn about the unique selling points and the latest news from each brand.

Representatives from the three lines will be on hand to share details about each of their offerings and answer any questions agents have.

The roadshow will begin in Glasgow on the Tuesday evening (October 3) at Club 28 before moving to the DoubleTree by Hilton in Edinburgh on Wednesday and finishing at the Royal Highland Hotel in Inverness on Thursday.

On each night, the event will begin at 6pm with a drinks reception, followed by presentations from each brand, a hot buffet and a quiz with chances to win a variety of prizes. Fay McCormack, general manager at Star Clippers, said: “Although individually [Star Clippers, Hurtigruten and Uniworld] offer very different experiences to our customers, we share the same focus: our trade partners are absolutely central to all our businesses.

“We are delighted to be working alongside two of the most respected niche brands within the cruise industry to bring this fantastic opportunity of learning to Scotland.”

Kathryn Beadle, Uniworld managing director, said: “We’re proud to be working with our friends at Hurtigruten and Star Clippers to meet with our valuable Scottish agent partners and discuss the niche cruising market, and the unique experiences that each of us offers.”
