Paul Gauguin marks PEARLS annniversary

Paul Gauguin Cruises is celebrating the first anniversary of its PEARLS Accredited Partner Program with the release of a new chapter on The Moana. PEARLS partners receive access to resources including exclusive sales and marketing trainings, advance notice of special promotions, shipboard credit offers, marketing tools, and bonus commissions. To mark the first anniversary of PEARLS, a new chapter in the program on The Moana is now available covering the ship’s features, distinctions, itineraries, and destinations. Since the program began, 910 travel partners have graduated becoming official PEARLS Accredited Partners. The PEARLS Program – Partners Earn Added Rewards and Learn to Sell – was conceived to provide travel professionals with a deeper understanding of Paul Gauguin Cruises and the cruise line’s destinations. The program is a self-paced specialist training program, providing a unique platform for agents to truly immerse themselves in the Paul Gauguin Cruises experience, enabling them to more accurately identify and connect with prospective clients and promote the renowned cruise line most successfully. PEARLS partners who complete the new chapter on The Moana by Sept. 30 receive two $100 bonus commission certificates applicable to new 2013 bookings on The Moana. Agents who register to join the PEARLS program and successfully complete it, earning full PEARLS accreditation by Sept. 30, will receive all the benefits of the PEARLS program along with earning three $100 bonus commission certificates applicable to 2013 bookings on The Gauguin plus one $100 bonus commission certificate applicable to 2013 bookings on The Moana.
