FREE Educational Program on Baltic Sea Cruises

Cruise Baltic has launched a home-based travel agent education program designed to provide an in-depth knowledge on the Baltic Sea region.

Performance Media Group (PMG) has developed an online educational tool for home-based travel agents, which consists of the Cruise Baltic Travel Agent Academy and the Cruise Baltic Virtual Travel Seminar. The programs are highly interactive and incorporate high-impact slideshows, interactive maps and panoramic video.

Cruise Baltic Travel Agent Academy consists of three chapters and an exam following each section, thereby focusing on active participation. The three chapters focus on:
1. Why sell Cruise Baltic.
2. Selling the Destination.
3. Getting There.

Each of the 10 countries is explored with a port-by-port snapshot. "Cruise Baltic has embraced the importance of education and has developed training programs and Virtual Travel Seminars that are invaluable to the home-based travel agent," said Brad Anderson, co-president of America's Vacation Center. "

We recommend the Cruise Baltic training to our elite network of independent affiliates because it provides in-depth knowledge on the Baltic Sea region and makes selling the destination easier than ever before. I personally have taken Cruise Baltic's training course and would suggest it to anyone interested in learning more about this rapidly growing cruise market."

Bo Larsen, director of Cruise Baltic, hosts Cruise Baltic Virtual Travel Seminar. The 15-minute video presentation highlights the sights and attractions in the Cruise Baltic Region. "We are very excited to introduce this state-of-the-art training program for agents, Larsen said. "Last year at CLIA's cruise3sixty, many agents showed interest in a toolbox to assist them in getting to know more about the region and the opportunities for cruising in The Baltic Sea.

Now, one year later, we have an excellent training program to offer agents." Formed in 2004, Cruise Baltic today has 44 partners and a total of 26 destinations.
