Sabre Travel Network, the world's largest and most rewarding marketplace
for buying and selling travel, and Regent Seven Seas Cruises, the world’s
largest luxury cruise line, today announced a new three-year agreement
for participation in the Sabre global distribution system (GDS). The
addition of Regent Seven Seas Cruises increases the number of cruise
lines in the Sabre GDS to 13 and dramatically enhances Regent’s
online booking resources for travel agents.
To celebrate this new agreement, Regent Seven Seas has unveiled a
special $25 per booking gift card incentive for all new bookings –
seven nights or longer – made through the
Sabre GDS now through March 31, 2007.(a)
Through the agreement, Regent Seven Seas Cruise products are now
available for subscribers of the Sabre (GDS), including more than 900
travel agencies already activated through Regent’s
reservations system. (Agencies not already on the list may be added upon
request through Regent’s reservations center
at 1-800-285-1835.) The recently launched robust Sabre Cruises, Sabre
Cruise Director and the Sabre Cruises WebServices API offer
instant access to Regent Seven Seas’ booking
system, including the most up-to-date availability, rate comparison and
brochure information.
“This new agreement enhances the terrific
breadth of quality cruise products that can be accessed and sold through
Sabre, giving travel agents more opportunities to serve their customers
and maximize profits,” said Dan Westbrook,
vice president of travel merchandising, Sabre Travel Network. “At
the same time, Regent will now benefit from opportunities for additional
high-quality revenue that result from increased awareness and visibility
among the community of professional Sabre subscribers.”
“We are pleased to work with Sabre Travel
Network to provide these enhanced tools to travel agents,”
said Randall B. Soy, CTC, Regent Seven Seas Vice President –
Channel Sales. “The agreement with Sabre
provides convenient access and the best possible choices of our products
to travel agents for their Regent booking needs.”
This agreement comes one month after Sabre announced the launch of Sabre
Cruises, a new cruise shopping and booking tool with increased and
improved functionality, as the latest enhancement to its end-to-end
leisure collection. With the new Sabre Cruises, travel agents
have access to a browser-based tool accompanied by expanded
functionality that allows travel agents to shop, create and completely
service a booking.
Travel agents are a significant resource to travelers when booking
cruises. In 2005, more than 90 percent of people who cruised said they
used a travel agent to make their choice, and 80-90 percent of cruise
lines sales in 2005 came through the travel agency channel.
Travel agents worldwide voted Regent Seven Seas the “World’s
Leading Luxury Cruise Line” as part of the
2006 World Travel Awards and readers of Travel Weekly have named
the company “Best Luxury Cruise Line”
for three consecutive years. Its industry-leading online booking engine,
Partner Access, has garnered praise in the industry for its ease of use
and functionality.
(a) Reservations must be for new bookings only, booked and deposited via Sabre
Cruises or Sabre Cruise Director to be eligible. The offer is
available to agents in the U.S. and Canada only.
