A-Rosa River Cruises is giving hardworking travel agents the change to nominate and reward their colleagues, by launching a brand new positive initiative.

In recognition of the hard work agents have put in during the coronavirus pandemic, the cruise line is encouraging people to nominate a travel friend or colleague who “deserves a treat”.

Running throughout September, all agents have to do is simply log into A-Rosa’s UK Facebook page and share a story of how their nominated agent or friend has “gone above and beyond” for a customer in the past few months.

The initiative hopes to spread positive messages and inspirational stories about members of the travel community, recognising the work they have put in.

The story doesn’t have to be A-Rosa or even river cruise-related, just something that stands out and shows how much the agent has done during these hard times.

A-Rosa will then pick a different worthy winner each week, and surprise then at their doorstep to reward their efforts and show their appreciation.

Nominations are now open and a weekly winner will be picked every Monday during September from the previous week’s entries.

The first winner will be chosen on Monday 7 September and announced on A-Rosa’s UK Facebook page.

Details of the prizes are yet to be revealed…

In other A-Rosa news, the cruise line has unveiled some attractive river cruise offers in Portugal, following the government’s advice to remove Portugal from the quarantine list.

Hoping to get more people booking river cruises, the German cruise line has launched a ‘buy one, get one free’ cruise offer on selected Douro sailings.

Travellers will have to act fast, as the select sailings for both offers depart in September and October this year.

The cruise line also announced the delay of its brand new E-motion river ship, which is now set to launch in March 2022.
