LOS ANGELES — Crystal Cruises is encouraging a bit of friendly competition among travel professionals, with a worldwide competition that awards 10 lucky winners with a massive prize.

New bookings made and paid in full between Nov. 11 and Dec. 15, 2016 on select Crystal Symphony, Crystal Serenity, Crystal Mozart and Crystal Esprit voyages will officially qualify agencies to win a verandah stateroom aboard Crystal’s 2017 ‘Southern Celebración’ World Cruise.

Once the contest closes on Dec. 15, the top 10 agencies with the most qualifying bookings and revenue will each earn one stateroom on the 94-day intensive journey through South America’s most majestic locales. The voyage aboard Crystal Serenity sails round-trip from Miami starting Jan. 10.

The competition is worldwide and open to Canadian agencies.

“We are thrilled to reward our dedicated travel partners tremendously for their loyalty and commitment to sharing the renowned Crystal Experience with their discerning clientele,” says Crystal CEO and president, Edie Rodriguez. “Friendly competition is always a great motivator, and a world-class luxury vacation of a lifetime is a compelling incentive.”

Eligible voyages for the contest range from four to 21 days spanning the globe, with 2016 and 2017 sailings aboard Crystal Symphony and Crystal Serenity to the South Pacific, Australia/New Zealand, Caribbean and South America; Crystal Esprit sailings along the Arabian gulf and the Seychelles; and Crystal Mozart sailings along the Danube from Vienna. The 2017 World Cruise awaiting the top 10 winning travel professionals offers in-depth exploration of the cultures, cuisine, relics and natural wonders throughout Argentina, Chile, Peru, Brazil, Uruguay, Honduras, Ecuador, Mexico, West Indies and Antarctica.

To qualify, travel partners must generate a minimum of $25,000 in cruise revenue on select voyages. Winning travel agencies may choose who will redeem the World Cruise voyage prize, pending approval by Crystal Cruises.
