Top Canadian agents recently received a huge European treat.

TL Network Canada, one of the travel industry’s largest travel agency organizations, celebrated its 2018 Elite Members with a spectacular river cruise from Amsterdam, The Netherlands to Basel, Switzerland this month aboard AmaWaterways’ AmaPrima. Elite membership is awarded each year to 30 agencies among Travel Leaders Network Affiliate Members who are the top sellers and leading supporters of preferred supplier partners.

“We are proud to honour these agency owners for the outstanding success they have achieved,” said Christine James, TL Network’s Vice President Canada. “These recognition journeys wouldn’t be possible without support and collaboration of supplier partners like AmaWaterways and others who create unique and exceptional travel experiences for our advisors and their clients,” James added.

During this year’s trip, participants had the opportunity to experience Rotterdam, The Netherlands; Bruges and Antwerp, Belgium; Kinderdijk and Delft, Holland; and Dusseldorf and Heidelberg, Germany via history, cultural and architectural tours, biking excursions, artisan craft-making experiences and exquisite meals, among many other activities.

On board the AmaPrima, members participated in business updates, supplier roundtables and a number of special meals and receptions. The trip kicked off with a pre-cruise VIP reception hosted by the Waldorf Astoria and Hilton Hotels in Amsterdam, along with a number of memorable sightseeing opportunities in that city.
