HOW ROYAL CARIBBEAN HELPS TRAVEL PARTNERS GROW
Greetings Travel Partners!
At Royal Caribbean, we're always striving to push the outer limits of our industry with larger, more innovative ships like the forthcoming Allure of the SeasSM, and exciting new partnerships like our recently announced relationships with Dreamworks Animation and pop artist Romero Britto. With every groundbreaking step, we are sure to attribute our growth back to our foundation - the hardworking travel agent partners like you that make Royal Caribbean a worldwide success.
Our growth together is a top priority to us. That's why we work to provide you with unique tools and opportunities that will help you connect with clients, make and close the sale, and expand your business. We hope you:

COLORFUL COMBINATION: ROYAL CARIBBEAN TEAMS UP WITH ROMERO BRITTO FOR FIRST BRITTO AT SEA STORE
We're proud to announce a spirited, innovative collaboration with our new partner, modern day pop art icon Romero Britto. Allure of the Seas will feature the first Britto Store at Sea, featuring a wide array of artwork, posters, gifts, luggage and more. The artist will create two original pieces exclusive to Royal Caribbean for our guests to purchase: a custom painting that will be available as canvas giclees, as well as a Royal Caribbean-inspired plush teddy bear. In addition to the onboard store, an original sculpture featuring Britto's well-known butterflies will grace the gardens of Central Park, directly in-front of the store, providing guests with a cheerful photo opportunity.
