Riverside Luxury Cruises has partnered with Jerne to offer a simplified solution for the cruise line and travel advisors to manage hundreds of hosted and self-guided river cruise familiarization opportunities.
Tim Morgan, CEO of Jerne said: “According to our survey of hundreds of top travel advisors, their priority is experiencing new product that they can share with their top clients.
“By partnering with the exceptional Riverside product, we are able to provide exactly what they’re looking for in order to build new sales for themselves and their agency.”
Riverside is offering travel advisors the ability to apply for guided experiences aboard more than 500 voyages on the Danube, Rhine, Rhône, Moselle and Main rivers through December 2025.
Managed through the Jerne platform, travel advisors will be able to build a profile that tells the story of their business and search and apply for familiarization opportunities that align with their product focus.
They can also manage and share all of the content that they’ve created during their experience – providing valuable ROI to Riverside and to both the travel advisor and their travel agency.
Jen Halboth, CEO of Riverside Luxury Cruises said:
“Partnering with Jerne gives us an efficient and effective platform to manage the vetting, application process, and marketing opportunity related to hosting travel advisors.
“Riverside values Travel Advisors’ indispensable role in creating unforgettable experiences for their clients and we understand it’s important to experience a travel product firsthand.
“When they see it, they sell it. we can’t wait for more travel advisors to share all of the beautiful experiences they see with Riverside and recommend us!”
