Encore Cruises recently hosted its first annual SEA U, the cruise wholesaler’s new seminar-at-sea program. Sailing aboard the Celebrity Eclipse on a one-week Eastern Caribbean itinerary out of Miami, Encore’s inaugural SEA U event welcomed 130 participants (some shown here) from across Canada and 13 cruise line partners. Participants took part in information-packed sessions from the cruise lines, briefed on Encore’s services and offerings, and also had the opportunity to check out the Carnival Liberty while in port in St. Thomas. Next year’s SEA U 2013 will be held April 21-28 aboard Allure of the Seas. Registration details will be released soon. (http://www.encorecruises.com)
