Recently, we joined MSC Cruises and Schmetterling in Hamburg for two inspiring days of networking, collaboration, and shared industry insights. 🚢

Events like these highlight the value of face-to-face connections. They create opportunities to strengthen partnerships, exchange ideas, and explore new ways to support travel professionals.

Together with MSC Cruises and Schmetterling, we showcased how cruises can be seamlessly combined with pre- and post-stays, helping travel professionals create even more value for their clients through the RateHawk platform.

One of the highlights was visiting the MSC Preziosa, providing firsthand experience of the products and opportunities available to travel agencies.

Thank you to MSC Cruises, Schmetterling, and all attending travel professionals for making the event such a success. We look forward to continuing these conversations and building even stronger partnerships in the months ahead.
