Carnival Cruise Line is turning up the fun for travel advisors, unveiling a new 2026 lineup of ship tours and Seminars at Sea in the next wave of the company’s Funnel Faves campaign. Designed to showcase the onboard experience firsthand, these programs reinforce Carnival’s commitment to supporting travel partners with valuable, engaging opportunities to learn, connect and ultimately 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.”
Giving travel advisors more tools than ever to grow their business and deepen their expertise, Carnival will offer 60 ship tours across the fleet throughout 2026. 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 specially discounted sailings that combine training with direct experience of Carnival’s entertainment and amenities. 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 – all designed to build expertise and confidence to help advisors grow their business.
Ship Tours and Seminars at Sea are part of Carnival’s growing suite of top training tools offered under the Funnel Faves umbrella. These programs help advisors develop firsthand knowledge they can use to better guide clients and convert more bookings.
Travel advisors play an essential role in Carnival’s guest experience and overall brand growth, and the Funnel Faves program will continue to expand throughout the year to provide them with new opportunities for success.
