Carnival Cruise Line has unveiled a new 2026 lineup of ship tours and Seminars at Sea in the next wave of the company’s “Funnel Faves” campaign.
The company said that the programs are designed to showcase the onboard experience firsthand and reinforce Carnival’s commitment to supporting travel partners with opportunities to learn, connect and sell the Carnival vacation experience with greater confidence.
“No one delivers fun like Carnival, and that starts with giving travel advisors the chance to immerse themselves in that experience,” said Janet Wygert, senior vice president of trade sales and marketing.
“By expanding our ship tours and Seminars at Sea, we’re reinforcing our commitment to giving them the tools they need to grow their business and connect with the Carnival brand,” added Wygert.
Carnival said in a press release that it will offer 60 ship tours across the fleet throughout 2026 to give travel advisors more tools to grow their business and deepen their expertise.
Advisors will have complimentary access to key public spaces, lounges and staterooms, and enjoy a hosted lunch on board.
The company will also host eight Seminars at Sea exclusively for travel advisors, providing discounted sailings that combine training with direct experience of Carnival’s entertainment and amenities.
Carnival added that additional perks include:
- A welcome cocktail reception with the sales team
- Exclusive Carnival training seminars
- Ongoing interaction with the sales team throughout the sailing, and
- Fun Funnel Faves swag.
Ship Tours and Seminars at Sea are part of Carnival’s growing suite of tools offered under the Funnel Faves umbrella.
These programs are designed to help advisors develop firsthand knowledge they can use to guide clients better and convert more bookings.
Carnival said the Funnel Faves program will continue to expand throughout the year, providing advisors with new opportunities.
Travel advisors can learn more about the Ship Tour program and how to book their cabin for a Seminar at Sea by visiting the company’s website.
