The deal means agents can use Travel Solutions’ platforms to book the Carnival Corporation brand’s packages for their customers. 

As part of the partnership, the line welcomed more than 30 agents who had been invited by Travel Solutions to Belfast to take a tour of Carnival Legend on 16 August.  

Luke Smith, international sales director, said: “We’re delighted to be working with Travel Solutions to help promote the unique Carnival experience to agent partners in Northern Ireland. 

“We know there is a strong desire from the trade in the region to learn more about our product and we look forward to developing these relationships.”

Peter McMinn, managing director at Travel Solutions, confirmed that demand for cruises in Northern Ireland is “growing”. 

“The Northern Ireland traveller now has easy access to the world’s largest cruise line with a range of fly-cruise holidays, with flights from Belfast and Dublin,” McMinn added. 

“We look forward to working with the team in growing Carnival sales in the region.”
