PONANT, Journey Beyond and A&K hosted back-to-back ‘Bring A Client’ events in Newcastle and the Central Coast, bringing together a total of 100 agents and clients over two exciting evenings recently.

Representing PONANT was NSW & ACT state manager, Kristina Sambaher, who was joined by Journey Beyond business development manager NSW/ACT Deon Johnson, and Abercrombie & Kent regional sales manager NSW/ACT Alexa Papoulias across the evenings of 17 and 18 July.

Together, the three welcomed agents and their clients to indulge in wine and canapés to showcase extraordinary travel experiences by rail, land and sea.

From the majestic landscapes of Africa to the pristine ice of Antarctica, and spanning our own breathtaking Australian backyard and beyond, the team had something to fulfill every bucket list aspiration of all in attendance.

The event kicked off at the Novotel Newcastle on Wednesday night with a buzz of excitement.

The atmosphere was electric as they mingled with guests, sharing stories of incredible journeys and future adventures over delicious wine and canapés. One memorable moment was when a client shared their dream of visiting Antarctica, sparking a lively discussion about the wonders of the icy continent.

It was followed by a captivating gathering at the Crowne Plaza Central Coast on the Thursday night and was filled with engaging conversations with trade partners.

The highlight was seeing the wide-eyed amazement as we unveiled the details of our latest itineraries. The luxurious venue perfectly complemented the tales of exotic destinations making it an unforgettable night for everyone.

“It was a wonderful opportunity for us to meet and greet and share a drink with our dedicated agents and their enthusiastic clients, discussing the unparalleled adventures that all our brands have to offer,” Kristina Sambaher said.
