Even though each Cruise and Travel
University, in some way is unique, attending will continue your
education in the travel profession while giving

travel agents who may have an entirely different speciality or way
of working and provide you with a unique perspective on what travel
agents can do.
"An
education isn't how much you have committed to
memory, or even how much you know. It's being able
to differentiate between what you know and what
you don't" -- Anatole France.

Travel University features a number of seminars
and presentations, the kind that give you more insight on
the products that you would like to sell more of, and the
sales and marketing techniques you wish to master. |

 The cruise industry is
undergoing a period of significant growth, with cruise
operators introducing new state-of-the-art ships that
provide vacationers with an unprecedented array of
choices. Cruise University is an excellent vehicle for
helping travel agents further enhance their knowledge
and expertise of the constantly evolving cruise
industry,” said Vicki Freed, Carnival
Cruise Lines’ senior vice president of sales and
marketing. “Carnival, which has hosted several Cruise
University sessions throughout its fleet, is pleased to
work with Charlie Dubinsky and his team in providing
agents with the tools and resources necessary to succeed
in today’s competitive travel marketplace,” she added.
"I just wanted to say thanks again for last week's
Cruise and Travel University. I took in a lot of
information and am still processing it all.
Participating in these last two seminars has really made
me focus and set goals for myself and my business. I'm
so excited about what I see happening for me now and in
the future. It's been a slow process, but I definitely
see it."
"Just wanted you to know how much I enjoyed attending
the cruise and spending class time to learn more about
the cruise industry. Being new in the business I am
anxious to learn as much as I can and look forward to
any other experiences I may get. You spent a lot of time
putting this thing together and I wanted you to know how
very much I appreciated it. I also am very happy to have
been able to meet you and I look forward to future
meetings. Any valuable knowledge I may obtain from you
would be most appreciated. Again, thanks so much"
"Now that I have thawed out, I just wanted to thank you
for the wonderful job that you do with Cruise and Travel
University. I learned a ton of stuff and especially
enjoyed Marc (Mancini) and Dave (Stockert) as speakers.
I also really enjoyed the classes that you gave as I
tend to learn more from people who actually sell or have
sold than from people who are just teaching. CU was a
great way to meet other agents and I really learned a
lot."

 I want to congratulate you
on the extraordinary job you have done in turning Cruise
and Travel University into the premier educational forum
that it is today. After being an instructor on two of
your excellent Cruise Universities I can assure anyone
who attends that they will have their expectations
exceeded and that their sales will soar! I look forward
to attending future Cruise Universities and helping the
top flight agents you attract reach their goals!
Scott Koepf CTC,MCC Vice President of
Sales Nexion
"Consider your tuition an investment in your business
not an expense. We understand that for whatever reason
attending Cruise University might be a bit of a
challenge. However, we can tell you from experience that
almost every wildly successful person we've ever known
took a big leap at a difficult time. You should also
attend Cruise and Travel University and it will be worth
your investment."
"I am thankful for Cruise and Travel Agents and for you.
I, among many others, I am sure, truly appreciate your
efforts to keep members updated and informed about our
industry. In addition to keeping us informed you
continually create opportunities for us to 'think
outside the box', and to challenge ourselves. Believe it
or not, I find those 2 aspects of my association with
Cruise and Travel Agents to be the most rewarding."
"I recently attended the Cruise and Travel University on
the MSC Lirica. I am new to the travel business and the
courses presented by Cruise and Travel University and
CLIA were very beneficial for me in helping me to
increase my knowledge and in growing my business. Thank
you very much for allowing me to attend the excellent
training you provided onboard the MSC Lirica."

Cruise and Travel
University is more than a Seminar at Sea or a FAM
trip. Cruise and Travel University will immerse you in
a total learning experience. You'll learn about cruising and while
on a ship, about selling as you're surrounded by fellow salespeople
and about service while experiencing some of the highest levels
of service anywhere - all this while earning your TSC credits.
There are perhaps
many reasons why you believe you cannot go - children, work,
commitments, etc.
But there is one very good reason why you
should - PROFIT!
