The “sneak-peek” four-day Paris itinerary on the line’s new youth brand, which is aimed at 21-45 year olds, will enable winning agents to “fully experience” the onboard and onshore experiences of U by Uniworld.
To enter, agents aged 21-45 must create a 30-second video demonstrating how they will sell U to customers. Agents should then use the hashtag #ImGonnaSellU and post the video to the U by Uniworld Facebook page at facebook.com/ubyuniworld
Kathryn Beadle, UK managing director at Uniworld, told TTG: “We’ve been overwhelmed at the level of enthusiasm for U by Uniworld from our agent partners.
“This allows the trade to sell river cruising to a previously untapped demographic, broadly increasing their channels for revenue, and so we’re really excited to give them the chance to earn a place on the exclusive sneak peek cruise.”
Uniworld said its internal advisory board would then vote on the final winners – chosen from a shortlist of entrants who receive the most likes on Facebook, between August 16-22. The top agent videos will also be featured on the U by Uniworld website.
Agents have until August 15 to submit their entries, with the winners set to be announced at the end of the month. Elsewhere, Uniworld is to offer fully inclusive European sailings for the first time on its new Masterpiece Collection, with return flights and home-to-airport chauffeured transfers.
The offer applies to all departure dates on selected 2018 itineraries, including Gems of Northern Italy, Splendours of Italy and the Remarkable Rhine. Agents can also combine the Masterpiece Collection with Uniworld’s Early Booking Savings offer, to save clients 10% on the cruise and tour price.
