MISSISSAUGA — The New Year is off to a great start for travel agents, thanks to a new limited-time giveaway from Encore Cruises.

From Jan. 1-31, 2018, agents can book any 2018 Caribbean sailing through Encore to enter for a chance to win a free seven-night Caribbean or Mexico cruise for two in an oceanview stateroom.

Phone bookings count as one ballot entry, while online bookings count for two entries. Travel agents must submit all of their 2018 Caribbean bookings made throughout the month of January through surveymonkey.com/r/DMMP9PS.

Only bookings submitted through the link will be entered into the draw.

“To celebrate the New Year, we wanted to give our agents new opportunities for more winnings. This is just another way of showing our agents our appreciation for them. I believe that our strong ties with cruise line partners will give agents many opportunities for eligible entries for this contest,” said Nathalie Tanious, Vice President, TravelBrands, parent company of Encore Cruises.

The winner will be drawn during the week of Feb. 12, 2018. For more information go to travelbrandsaccess.com.
