Sun Island Tours has unveiled its largest ever incentive for travel agency staff, and it is set to be one very attractive offer. The incentive, which has been named the Sun Island Tours Croatia Mega Self-Famil, has been unveiled alongside the 2026 Mediterranean Cruising brochure launch. Crafted with the concept of stimulating the travel agency staff and promoting the Mediterranean as the ultimate destination for 2026, the incentive gives agency staff members the chance to win themselves a free cabin during the cruise in Croatia aboard a small cruise vessel.
A Grand Prize Worth Over $130,000
The Croatia Mega Self-Famil incentive offers a prize valued at over $130,000, making it a highly attractive opportunity for registered travel agents in Australia and New Zealand. The incentive will run weekly from July 1 to November 30, 2025, with a lucky agent winning a lower deck cabin on a 7-night Croatian small ship cruise each week. The winning agent can bring along one guest to enjoy the beautiful coastal views and intimate cruise experience.
Each week, Sun Island Tours will contact the winning agent, who will be able to choose their preferred month of travel in 2026, with the finalization of travel dates occurring in December 2025. This opportunity is open to all full-time, registered travel agents based in Australia and New Zealand, making it a highly competitive and rewarding incentive.
How to Participate
Participation in this exciting incentive is easy and accessible to all eligible agents. Agents can enter the competition by booking and depositing any Croatia small ship cruise between July 1 and November 30, 2025, for travel at any time during 2026. The process is simple: agents need only to complete the booking, and they will automatically be entered into the weekly draw.
This initiative not only benefits agents with a chance to win free travel but also supports them in promoting the unique Croatian cruising experiences to their clients. The inclusive nature of the competition, with no complicated requirements or conditions, ensures that it is accessible to a wide range of agents.
A Glimpse into the 2026 Mediterranean Cruising Brochure
The new 2026 Mediterranean Cruising brochure is at the heart of this incentive. The full-color, 51-page brochure showcases a range of Mediterranean cruise options, featuring some of the most popular destinations in the region, such as Greece, Croatia, Italy, Malta, and Turkey. Each page is designed to inspire both agents and potential clients by displaying the stunning beauty of these destinations and the variety of cruising experiences available.
Included in the brochure are detailed itineraries, maps, and sailing dates for each cruise, along with special early bird discounts that are prominently highlighted in red. These discounts provide significant savings for clients who book early, which is a key selling point for agents promoting these cruises.
Furthermore, the brochure contains detailed information on the ships, which range from handcrafted wooden gulets to small ships and mid-sized vessels operated by Celestyal Cruises. A special section dedicated to Croatian small ship categories offers agents insights into the different ship styles and the experiences they offer, helping agents better tailor their sales pitches to their clients’ preferences.
Supporting Travel Agents with Tools and Resources
To ensure agents have all the resources they need to effectively sell the cruises, the brochure features QR codes linked to each product’s webpage, where agents can access live availability and further details. This integration of technology ensures that agents can easily access up-to-date information and book cruises for their clients with ease.
The hardcopy brochures will be distributed in July, with additional orders available from TIFS and BrochureNet starting in August. Agents are encouraged to request the brochures early to ensure they have them on hand for upcoming sales efforts. Sun Island Tours also offers agents access to an online portal, where they can access deck plans, the latest vessel images, and consumer-friendly PDF itineraries, making it easier to sell these cruises to their customers.
A New Era for Mediterranean Cruises
The incentive is not just about the prizes; it is about promoting the incredible experiences that small ship cruises offer in the Mediterranean region. Small ships, which can access more intimate and less commercialized ports than larger cruise liners, provide an authentic experience of the Mediterranean’s unique culture, history, and natural beauty. These cruises are a perfect way for clients to immerse themselves in the landscapes of Greece, Croatia, Italy, Malta, and Turkey without the overcrowding often associated with more traditional cruise options.
The importance of personalized travel experiences has never been higher, and small ship cruises offer exactly that—intimate, tailored adventures. Whether clients are looking for cultural exploration in Greece or to relax on pristine beaches in Croatia, these cruises provide unparalleled access to the Mediterranean’s hidden gems.
Brochure and Incentive Distribution for Travel Agents
Though Sun Island Tours continues to hold true in providing the best resources possible for travel agents in selling cruises through the Mediterranean, the company’s dedication towards assistance in the travel agent field can be seen in this new incentive. In addition to putting brochures in hands, Sun Island Tours provides agents with complete training materials and internet support so that agents will be comfortable speaking about and selling these individualized vacations.
With the competition running during November, there are numerous opportunities for agents to participate and win, but they are also being provided with the best tools they require in order to win when booking 2026 Mediterranean cruises for their clients.
