Silversea Cruises has extended its bonus commission incentive as it works to further support the trade.

The line is offering travel agents a £150 bonus commission on all bookings made by April 30, 2021. It has also boosted the number of voyages eligible under the offer, with 275 voyage options now available. 

The incentive applies to new bookings made on Silversea voyages departing between October 1, 2021, and June 30, 2022.

The line has also extended its Early Booking Bonus until March 31, 2021, while its Cruise with Confidence programme and reduced deposit requirement of only 15% per suite will continue to be available for bookings made by April 30, 2021.

"During these unprecedented times, we are proud to continue to support our travel partners with special incentives like our bonus commissions offer," said Roberto Martinoli, Silversea's president and chief executive. 

"We also hope that our valued partners benefit from the flexibility offered to our guests through the extension of our Cruise with Confidence and reduced deposit initiatives. 

“A demonstration of our gratitude for their continued support, these initiatives are our way of recognising our Travel Partners’ ongoing contributions. We look forward to strengthening our already strong relationships in the coming years." 

Peter Shanks, Silversea’s managing director for UK and Ireland, added: “We are so grateful for the support of our travel agent partners - and these initiatives are designed to give them every ounce of support during these tricky times. 

“We are especially pleased with the traction on 2022 sailings for Silversea, early proof that both pent-up demand and the growing interest in smaller ultra-luxury ships will lead to a sustained pathway back to future growth.”
