Ensemble Becomes First Consortia Partner for Riverside Luxury Cruises
The tie-up marks a significant addition to Ensemble’s luxury cruise portfolio and is the first such partnership with a travel agency consortium for the river cruise line.
Ensemble is sharing profits with its members for the third straight year.
Ensemble has announced that Riverside Luxury Cruises has joined its network of preferred partners. The tie-up marks a significant addition to Ensemble’s luxury cruise portfolio and is the first such partnership with a travel agency consortium for the river cruise line.
Ensemble says Riverside brings a fresh perspective to river cruising with its boutique-style, all-suite ships and an emphasis on personalized, high-touch service. The river cruise line is backed by German hospitality group Seaside Collection, and delivers a product that combines the intimacy of small-ship cruising with the refined amenities of a five-star hotel.
Through this partnership, Ensemble members will benefit from exclusive advantages, including an enhanced commission structure. In addition, clients of Ensemble advisors will enjoy savings on one of Riverside’s most popular amenities, dining in the exclusive onboard Vintage Room.
“We are excited to welcome Riverside Luxury Cruises to Ensemble’s growing portfolio of luxury cruise partners,” said Rachel Grogan, Ensemble’s Senior Director, Partner Relations, Cruise.
“This partnership reflects our ongoing focus on delivering exceptional value to our members through enhanced commissions and unique client perks, as well as our commitment to aligning with brands that share our dedication to elevated service and immersive travel experiences.”
Ensemble says the new partnership reinforces its commitment to growing its cruise business through an expanding portfolio of cruise partners and enhanced support for advisor success.
With initiatives like Cruise Circles — a collaborative community for sharing knowledge and opportunities — and Cruise EMAPP, the Ensemble Member Advisor Partner Panel, Ensemble aims to deepen supplier relationships and provide advisors with the tools, insights and connections they need to drive cruise sales and grow their business.
