TORONTO, Feb. 15, 2017 /CNW/ - Sunwing is proud to announce that it has been named Canadian Partner of the Year by MSC Cruises for the third consecutive year. Awards are given to the cruise line's top performing North American travel partners for the year based on overall business growth in revenue and guests, continuous partnership support, and innovative marketing efforts that drive increased consumer awareness.
Reg Mendes, Vice President of USA & Cruise Division at Sunwing Vacations commented on the exciting news. "Delivering vacation experiences that delight our customers is of paramount importance to us and with MSC Cruises we believe that we have found the perfect partner to do just that. We've enjoyed a very successful collaboration with MSC Cruises for the past seven years, so we are very excited to be receiving this award for the third time."
Ian Patterson, Director of Business Development in Canada for MSC Cruises commented, "We're very proud of our long-standing relationship with Sunwing, as the past seven years have been a great experience in finding new and innovative ways to deliver an exceptional product to Canadian cruisers. With our already announced fleet expansion, we look forward to growing the relationship even more over the coming years."
For the coming winter season Sunwing will offer convenient fly/cruise packages on board MSC Cruises from up to 6 different Canadian gateways.
