MSC CRUISES CELEBRATES SHARE THE LOVE MONTH

Today, MSC Cruises, the Swiss-based world’s largest privately owned cruise line, will introduce “SHARE THE LOVE” for the month of February. Share the Love month will be dedicated to recognizing the travel agent distribution for their ongoing support of the MSC Cruises’ brand.YTravel Agent,

“MSC values the dedication and hard work that our travel partners exhibit on a regular basis,” said Ken Muskat, executive vice president for MSC Cruises and chairman for CLIA Trade Relations Committee. “Share the Love month is meant to add an extra layer of fun, excitement and to show our appreciation for their continued support especially during this time of major growth for our brand.”

Throughout the entire month of February, MSC Cruises will be giving away a prize a day for bookings made on any MSC ship. Individual prizes to be won include bonus commission, iPads, gift cards, Apple watches, Amazon Echo, flatscreen TVS, and much more.

In a unique move and a first in the brand’s history, MSC Cruises will honor a few select travel partners to appear in MSC television spots in their local areas, further supporting and highlighting the benefits of using a travel agent.

There will also be one grand prize in addition to the daily winnings. Travel agents who share their love for MSC Cruises with their clients by posting creative pictures and videos to our MSC TruePartnerships Facebook page are eligible to win a 7-day cruise on MSC Divina – one of MSC Cruises most beautiful, ultramodern ships. One winner will be selected at the end of February.

“We pride ourselves on our ongoing MSC Serving You travel agent initiative and constantly strive to build our mutual business together,” says Muskat. “Come SHARE THE LOVE with us and see if you can be a winner every single day in the month of February.”
