Small-ship cruise line Voyages to Antiquity joined the American Society of Travel Advisors and will take part in an ASTA event in Dallas next week.

'ASTA is an industry leader that represents a commitment to partnership and a standard of excellence within the travel community, and we are thrilled to be a part of this organization,' said Michelle Daniels, global head of commercial for Voyages to Antiquity.

Plans to connect with local chapters nationwide

The line plans to connect with local ASTA chapters across the US, beginning with head of sales and development Denise Wilson attending the ASTA DFW quarterly meeting on Oct. 16.

'I look forward to meeting local Dallas-Forth Worth ASTA members at this event and showcasing the unique, enriching cruises offered by Voyages to Antiquity,' Wilson said. 'VTA is eager to partner with ASTA members nationwide, and we encourage members to email [email protected] to learn more about how we can work together moving forward.'

New webinars, sales tools

This partnership continues the recent expansion of the company's sales efforts in the US market. 'VTA is committed to supporting the US travel trade,' Wilson said. 'Over the past few months we have reconnected with many past partners, like ASTA, and have rolled out a new webinar series. We also have additional US sales tools launching very soon, so it’s a great time to partner with VTA.'
