Scenic Group USA has unveiled a new "Advance Commission Program," designed to assist travel advisor partners with early receipt of their commissions. Effective July 1, 2022 and running through the end of 2022, registered advisors who book their clients on any Scenic Luxury Cruises & Tours, Scenic Eclipse or Emerald Cruises sailing with a departure at least six months out, will receive their commission within 21 days after the booking is paid in full.
“We are immensely grateful for the hard work and perseverance our travel partners have shown during two of the toughest years the travel industry has ever seen,” says Ann Chamberlin, vice president sales, Scenic Group USA. “In an effort to thank them for their loyalty and reward their ongoing sales efforts as travel makes a comeback, we’ve launched this program to help ensure they will have money in their pockets faster.”

To participate in the new Advance Commission Program, agency owners, whether independent or hosted, must register with Scenic Group USA. After that registration, advisors will receive an enrollment confirmation within five business days. Eligible bookings must be on sailings with departures at least six months out from the booking date. Commissions then will be paid within 21 days of receiving full payment, which must be made at least six months before departure.
In addition, Scenic says the new incentive program will also benefits the agency's clients. They'll be eligible for pay-in-full savings offered by both Scenic and Emerald Cruises.
