Carnival Cruise Line has entered into a new partnership with TRAVELSAVERS, an international marketing organization with 2,500 independently owned, full-service travel agencies in more than 35 countries around the world, and NEST (Network of Entrepreneurs Selling Travel), the industry’s first and only marketing group exclusively for home-based travel agents.

As part of the agreement, travel partners belonging to TRAVELSAVERS and NEST will receive specialized training from Carnival Cruise Line, tailored marketing support, custom benefits in the line’s travel agent rewards program, enhanced commissions and dedicated support from Carnival’s sales team.

Nicole Mazza, TRAVELSAVERS and NEST’S Chief Marketing Officer, will also join Carnival’s Executive Forum group, which supports the line in developing key trade strategies.

“We are proud to partner with the thousands of highly-respected travel agents who belong to the trusted TRAVELSAVERS and NEST brands and look forward to working with them on developing sales and marketing plans to increase their Carnival sales,” said Carnival’s Vice President of Sales and Trade Marketing, Adolfo Perez.

Carnival’s Vice President of Field Sales Mike Julius added, “This agreement marks an important step in strengthening our relationships with travel agent consortia and is a direct result of our ‘Onboard with You’ trade support platform. We can’t wait to begin working with TRAVELSAVERS and NEST agents on expanding their Carnival business.”

“We are excited to welcome Carnival as a preferred partner – the current leadership team has demonstrated a renewed commitment and dedication to the industry,” said TRAVELSAVERS and NEST’S Chief Marketing Officer, Nicole Mazza. “Our team looks forward to building a strong and mutually beneficial program together.”
