Scenic and Emerald Waterways Announce New Rewards Program for Travel Agents

Scenic and Emerald Waterways Announce New Rewards Program for Travel Agents – and Make it Retroactive for All of 2018

 

Bookings made during October 2018 receive double points

 

Vancouver & Boston, October 18th, 2018 – Scenic Group, parent organization of award-winning river cruise companies Scenic Luxury Cruises & Tours, Scenic Eclipse andEmerald Waterways, has unveiled a new travel agent rewards program that promises wonderful opportunities for agents. And to kick it off, both companies have made it retroactive – so agents get credit for all prior and current bookings made for travel in 2018 and beyond. And all bookings made during October 2018 will be awarded double points. Points are credited every two weeks, so many agents may already have points to redeem online for a huge variety of products and gift cards.

 

Travel agents receive a welcome email from Scenic and/or Emerald Waterways Rewards with a password reset link and a unique Rewards Member ID. This ID is pre-populated in the agent’s profile on Express Book and must appear on all Scenic and/or Emerald Waterways bookings to earn points. One point is earned for every two dollars spent – excluding air components, taxes and non-commissionable products which form part of the booking, as well as any surcharge or service fees on payments made by credit card, charge card or other forms of non-cash payment. Travel agents access their accounts (USA-based agents – www.scenicrewards.com or www.emeraldwaterwaysrewards.com; Canada-based agents – www.scenicrewards.caor www.emeraldrewards.ca), review their points status and browse the catalogue to redeem their points. Emerald Waterways Rewards points are transferrable to their Scenic Rewards accounts (but not the other way around).

 

Highlights of rewards includes extensive range of products ranging from appliances (big and small – refrigerators, washers, dryers, coffee makers, juicers, mixers, etc.), fitness and outdoor equipment (treadmills, ellipticals, camping, boating, etc.), electronics (TV’s, camera’s, video games, computers, etc.), jewelry and fashion items, multiple gift card options, food and wine items, etc.

 

Scenic Luxury Cruises & Tours has grown over its 31-year history to include award-winning, all-inclusive escorted tours that take participants to many of the world’s most fascinating destinations and since 2008, its 15 Space-Ships offer truly all-inclusive, five-star river cruises in many of those same destinations. In 2018, Scenic is introducing the world’s first Discovery Yachts, Scenic Eclipse, which will launch in January and take 228 guests on adventures all over the world, including the polar regions – and a sister ship to launch in 2020. Emerald Waterways has seven Star-Ships offering river sailings in Europe with an eighth (Emerald Harmony) launching in 2019 for SE Asia’s Mekong River. Exclusive charters are offered on the Irrawaddy Explorer in South East Asia; the MS Rossia along the Volga River in Russia; the Adriatic Princess II yacht in Croatia; and the MS Hamees on the Nile.
