Cruise line Voyages of Discovery were given a tour of the House With No Steps; an organisation which provides young, disabled people with accommodation, education, support and opportunities.

They then took part in some of the classes and workshops which took place. In return for their hospitality, residents of House With No Steps were invited onboard Discovery where they enjoyed the run of the ship and performed a highly skillful music and dance show for the enthralled passengers.

To round off a magical evening in style, Voyages of Discovery presented the charity with a cheque for US$50,000 to support the incredible work which House With No Steps does to help people with intellectual, physical, sensory and/or psychiatric disabilities make the most of their abilities.

Voyages of Discovery has been a supporter of the charity for many years, having now raised over US$150,000 for this worthwhile cause and its beneficiaries.

After a highly competitive pitch, Swan Hellenic and Voyages of Discovery, both part of All Leisure Holidays Ltd have appointed COMPLETE Media Group to handle their PR.

Geoff Lawrence, Sales and Marketing Director at All Leisure Group comments, “some of the most respected and recognisable names in Travel PR pitched for these accounts, yet COMPLETE really stood out. The team demonstrated their understanding of the market whilst bringing a fresh, integrated approach to our communications. COMPLETE’s depth of experience in related vertical markets also provides some fantastic cross-over opportunities and their perspective on our position within the cruise industry was in-tune with our aspirations.”

COMPLETE’s brief is to inspire a new generation of cruise enthusiasts and target existing cruise enthusiasts who have tried the big ships and now want a more cultural experience on a smaller ship.

COMPLETE aim to position both Swan Hellenic and Voyages of Discovery as the cruise lines of choice for holiday makers with a thirst for knowledge who are keen to learn about the cultures and destinations they visit. The agency will also support and generate sales of individual cruise itineraries and over the longer-term, support after-sales care and brand-loyalty initiatives.

Jos Dewing, Marketing Manager at All Leisure Group adds; “COMPLETE understand that marketing activities need to focus on delivering sales and measurable ROIs, as well as increasing brand awareness. In the current economic climate, this is more important than ever. The energy and enthusiasm of the COMPLETE team was also a deciding factor and we look forward to working closely with them.”
