Agents Head To The Med
EIGHT TOP-PERFORMING travel advisors from across Australia have enjoyed a luxury famil in the Mediterranean.
The trip was part of an exclusive incentive organised by Viking and Travel Associates. Agents had the opportunity to win a deluxe veranda stateroom on an eight-day journey through the heart of the Med on board the Viking Venus.
“Our expectations were exceeded the moment we stepped onboard Viking Venus. The warm welcome made us feel at home and set the tone for the entire cruise,” said Jacqui Smart, Travel Associates Shellharbour.
The journey began in Venice before proceeding to one of Croatia’s oldest cities, Split, home to the ancient Roman Palace of Emperor Diocletian, before heading for Dubrovnik’s charming cobblestone streets.
Croatia’s Dalmatian Coast exposed the architectural splendour of medieval houses and historic fortresses, while the grand fjords of Kotor in Montenegro offered impressive views.
In Greece, Corfu’s Old Town charmed guests with its narrow streets, while the scenic fishing village of Olympia, with its well-preserved ruins, evoked glimpses of the glory of the Games before the journey concluded in Athens.
“I really enjoyed the relaxed yet sophisticated atmosphere on the ship. Watching the sunset while cruising into Kotor was the standout highlight of our trip,” added Jacqui.
“The luxurious appointments of the ship, combined with the exceptional service of the staff, the exquisite fine dining options complemented by an impressive wine list, and the rejuvenating spa and snow grotto, have gifted me with a treasure trove of unforgettable memories from this remarkable journey,” added Jonathan House, of Travel Associates Runaway Bay.
