INTERNATIONAL Cruise Council Australasia general manager Brett Jardine recently escorted ICCA’s 2012 Masters Conference, which was held onboard a TransAtlantic voyage for the first time. Agents and their partners were treated to a week of luxury and informative cruise sessions from onboard Cunard’s Queen Mary 2. Australian and NZ agents were the recipients of high praise from US-based ICCA facilitator Scott Koepf, who was himself on his 14th Masters Conference, saying the knowledge on cruising by agents down-under was of an extremely high calibre. Jardine praised the journey as a whole, labelling it a “resounding success” particularly referencing the white-gloved afternoon tea experience, held in the grand ballroom during breaks between training sessions.
