Fred Olsen Travel hosted this year’s GoCruise & Travel top achievers celebration on Cunard’s Queen Victoria.

Ten top franchisees were welcomed on board for a sailing from Southampton to Amsterdam, where they enjoyed a drinks reception and dinner and business session to support them with their growth plans, as well as on board activities such as fencing, a silent disco and afternoon tea.

The franchisees were joined by representative from Fred Olsen Travel’s head office, who said it was a “pleasure” to host the group in collaboration with Cunard.

Colin Martin-Weekes, GoCruise & Travel Franchise general manager, said: “It is important that our franchisees feel appreciated and are congratulated on the amazing job they do with their businesses, so this was the perfect fit to showcase a brilliant product and to enjoy the celebrations of a job well done.

“We are so very proud of all their achievements.”

Cunard business manager Dan Jones said: “We were delighted to host this year’s GoCruise & Travel top achievers celebration on board our elegant Queen Victoria, further strengthening Cunard’s commitment to the travel agent community in providing engaging experiences across the fleet.

“This year’s top achievers are a truly exceptional set of talented individuals and I am very proud to have worked alongside them as they grew their businesses over the past year.

“Whether they are regular Cunarders or this was their first time on board one of our Queens, it was an absolute delight to see the franchisees enjoying their time on board and joining in with a variety of activities.”
