The episode explores how traditional ship visits have evolved in recent years, and whether a few hours onboard is still enough for travel agents to properly understand a cruise brand, its product and what it offers their customers.

   

With agents facing increasing demands on their time, how can cruise lines ensure ship visits deliver genuine value – and translate into better sales? And are more immersive, time-intensive experiences ultimately more valuable, even if they mean fewer agents can take part?
