Edited by Travel Weekly


Norwegian Cruise Line and The Travel Corporation Tour Brands are partnering for a new series of consumer and trade events titled ‘European Rendezvous’, from 22 August to 13 November in nearly 100 locations across Australia and New Zealand.

There will be close to 50 dedicated events for trade partners, providing the opportunity to hear from the sales managers of NCL, Contiki, Trafalgar, Insight Vacations, Costsaver and Luxury Gold at these not-to-be-missed fully catered events.

The consumer events are also designed to work in conjunction with trade partners who will be encouraged to attend and bring their clients along to inspire future travel plans. All events will feature exclusive offers, with spaces strictly limited.

The events will highlight immersive experiences on land and sea, showcasing top-selling tours and award-winning cruises in Europe in 2025. From Trafalgar’s Be My Guest and Insight Vacations Premium Experiences, to Luxury Gold’s Behind the Velvet Rope curated experiences and Costsaver’s Choice Experiences, agents will gain updates from TTC Tour Brands’ vast brand portfolio, as well as NCL’s extensive Europe collection which offers cruises from a choice of 13 ports across 10 ships ranging from six to 15 days.

“NCL is thrilled to partner with The Travel Corporation to bring the magic of European travel to life,” NCL director of sales strategy & operations, Damian Borg, said.

“As brands we are both committed to delivering unforgettable experiences for our guests. These events provide a fantastic opportunity for trade partners to invite their clients to an informative event, where they can discover the wonders of Europe and plan their dream holiday with the guidance of industry experts.”

TTC Tour Brands managing director Oceania, Toni Ambler, said TTC was delighted to collaborate with NCL on the initiative.

“It came through loud and clear in our recently conducted research that Europe continues to dominate the list of popular destinations, with 68 per cent of travellers planning their next trip there.

“Although this wasn’t surprising, considering the historical demand for travel to this incredibly diverse region, we thought it was important to seize the opportunity to showcase the wealth of immersive experiences that our brands can bring to those looking to travel to Europe.

“We look forward to inspiring and assisting Australian and New Zealand travellers in exploring the best that Europe has to offer.”

Agents are encouraged to register for their nearest trade event where they can take their Europe knowledge to a new level. Register HERE for Australia or here for New Zealand.
