MIAMI, Dec. 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Travel agents honored Celebrity Cruises President Dan Hanrahan by naming him 2006 Executive of the Year in Travel Trade's annual industry-wide election this month. Under Hanrahan's leadership, Celebrity Cruises has made numerous efforts to put the line's partnership with travel agents in the spotlight. Among these initiatives is a TV ad in which an exuberant guest in eveningwear glowingly thanks her travel agent, Hollywood-awards-show-style, for making her Celebrity Cruises experience possible. Travel agents have reacted favorably to being positioned as crucial to the line's accomplishments, and Hanrahan says the spot reflects the way Celebrity feels about travel agents. "As the woman did in the ad, I'd like to thank our travel agent partners, too, for this incredible honor and their tremendous support," said Hanrahan. "We've always known agents are vital to our success. Our TV campaign illustrates that commitment." Earlier this year, Celebrity also launched BEST (Being an Extraordinary Sales, Service and Support Team), a program that provides monthly recognition of extraordinary effort by Celebrity's travel agent partners and its own employees. Winners in each department are determined by travel agent feedback and nominations from immediate colleagues and supervisors. "Dan has really led our efforts to help our agency partners get more of the recognition they deserve, and we promise to continue to introduce more incentive programs and selling tools to help agents be even more successful through the BEST program," said Celebrity's Senior Vice President of Sales Dondra Ritzenthaler. Celebrity has also taken its partnership with travel agents to an unprecedented level by involving them in the $55-million redesign of Celebrity Century, which set sail earlier this year. "On behalf of the Celebrity Cruises family, I'm incredibly honored," Hanrahan said. "In addition to thanking our travel agency partners, I would also like to thank our Marketing and Sales teams for their focus on ensuring we have great relationships with travel agents." Celebrity Cruises offers comfortably sophisticated, upscale cruise experiences with highly personalized service, authentic five-star dining, and extraordinary attention to detail. Celebrity sails in Alaska, Bermuda, California, Caribbean, Europe, Galapagos Islands, Hawaii, Mexican Riviera, Panama Canal and South America, and will begin sailing in Australia and New Zealand in 2007. Noted for "The World's Best Large Ships," as voted by the readers of Conde' Nast Traveler (February 2006 Cruise Poll), Celebrity's current nine-ship fleet will be joined by Celebrity Solstice in 2008, Celebrity Equinox in 2009, and a third Solstice-class ship in 2010.
