June saw the return of TIPTO's popular summer lunch events. Partnering with supplier member, Ambassador Cruise Line, 40 travel agents were invited to Liverpool Cruise Terminal in June to spend the afternoon onboard Ambition.
Experiencing Ambassador's cruise product first hand whilst also enjoying TIPTO’s renowned hospitality, agents were able to network with 12 of TIPTO's supplier members, boosting their sales potential with training, selling tips and market insight.
A seated four course lunch and drinks at tables hosted by the TIPTO supplier members followed, with wider networking and learning opportunities throughout the day.

Vishal Patel, TIPTO Chairman, comments: “We are so pleased to be able to bring these exclusive events back to our travel agent community this year. This Liverpool event was another huge success. Once again, Ambassador pulled out all the stops; Liverpool was a brand new location for our agents in the North of England, and the immersive nature of the event really shone through in the positive feedback we've received so far.”
Adds Louise Tansey, Divisional Sales Manager, Ambassador Cruise Line: “We are delighted to have been able to work with TIPTO again this year to showcase our fleet and offer the ‘warmest welcome at sea’ to a brand new set of agents. There is nothing quite like seeing our cruise product first hand. We know it gives agents a solid understanding of our product, allowing them to better sell them to clients.”
A second summer lunch event will take place on 17 July 2026 onboard Ambassador Cruise Line's Ambience, at Tilbury Docks in London.
