Crystal Becomes Travel Leaders Network’s Newest Preferred Supplier

Crystal Cruises has just announced its newly arranged standing as a preferred supplier to Travel Leaders Network (TLN), North America’s largest agent consortia specializing in luxury and experiential travel. TLN has also previously provided key strategic sales distribution support to the cruise line’s parent company A&K Travel Group, which acquired Crystal in early 2023 after former owner Genting Group’s collapse.

With a network of more than 5,700 travel agencies across the U.S. and Canada, TLN is one of the tourism industry’s largest retailers of luxury travel, cruises and tours. It leverages the power and resources of its own parent company, Internova, to helps millions of leisure and business travelers annually in booking their ideal trips.

Through this new partnership, Crystal will be in a prime position to provide TLN’s vast portfolio of affiliated travel advisors with luxury cruise products that ensure clients enjoy exceptional experiences at sea, and the treasured memories they create.

“We are pleased to announce Crystal as our newest preferred supplier partner,” said Travel Leaders Network President Roger E. Block. “Our members are once again looking forward to offering these exceptional voyages to their clients and experience the world-class service and offerings that has made Crystal an award-winning brand for several years.”

“Crystal is delighted to work with Travel Leaders Network and its community of passionate and dedicated travel professionals,” said Vice President of Sales & Trade Partnerships for Crystal, Brandon Townsley. “Our collaboration presents a tremendous opportunity to re-engage with travel sellers throughout their vast network as well as introduce the Crystal brand to travel professionals whose clientele seek extraordinary experiences both at sea and onshore. The Travel Leaders’ team and advisor support is exceptional, which blends perfectly with Crystal’s DNA and commitment to being ‘exceptional at sea’.”
