Royal Caribbean Arabia, the regional headquarters of the world-renowned cruise brand, has honoured travel agents for their dedication and excellence in the industry in a selection of awards that were announced today at Arabian Travel Market 2017.

The annual awards, which is in its 11th year, celebrates outstanding travel companies working in conjunction with the cruise brand across the GCC, Levant and Egypt.

This year’s awards includes categories such as “Sales Excellence” which recognises achievement, and the “Ambassador Awards” for those who have given extraordinary support to the overall brand. In addition, the Royal Caribbean Innovative Marketing Award celebrates a single agency that has gone above and beyond in its marketing efforts to help promote Royal Caribbean as the luxury cruise line favoured by leisure vacationers and corporates in the region.

“Each and every year Royal Caribbean Arabia honours outstanding travel companies across the GCC and Levant region, a marriage of two parts that makes Royal Caribbean the sustained success and globally respected brand that it is today. Our consistent growth would surely not have been possible without the valuable support of our regional trade partners and I would like to personally thank each and every one of them for their outstanding efforts.” – Mohamed Saeed, general manager – Middle East, Royal Caribbean Arabia.
