Arrangements
We can support your
activities in a number of ways. Some examples:
Sales Support
One of our hostesses
is flown to a harbour outside Malta. There
it is her job to arouse enthusiasm among
the passengers for your excursion programmes
in Malta. Alternatively, she can meet
the shore excursion manager before embarkation
for a thorough briefing and provide support
material (guide books, maps, information
leaflets, videos etc). This way you are
sure that your passengers will be well
informed, and you will sell more excursions!
You will find other
possibilities in the made-to-order programmes
that we put together on request, particularly
forincentive
groups.
Incentive Programs
Welcome Band
We can welcome your
passengers with the sounds of an 8-piece or
even a 16 - piece band dressed in tuxedos.
The atmosphere is unforgettable!
Welcome Flowers
We can arrange for
your passengers to be greeted by people dressed
in folklore costumes. Each disembarking
guest will be given a flower.
Souvenir
Give-Aways
One of our hostesses
comes on board to treat the passenger
with a typical Maltese souvenir give-away.
Your passengers are sure to appreciate this
special service.
Hospitality
Tent on the Quay
Since at present
there are very limited facilities on the
quay, a hospitality tent and hospitality
hostess adds a professional touch. This
is especially useful when there are overnight
stays in the harbour.
Our hostess will
welcome disembarking passengers with a smile.
She will be equipped with a mobile phone
so she could contact one of our support
staff should anything need their immediate
attention.
We will also stock
information leaflets about Malta and display
information about art exhibitions, cultural
events, and entertainment being held whilst
the cruise liner is in Valletta.
We can also arrange
to have a Malta Tourism Authority desk
officer to answer any questions your passengers
may have about Malta.
A Taste
of Our Cuisine & Wine
We can arrange for
a renowned Maltese Chef to come on board
and prepare typical Maltese specialities
and perhaps also make a demonstration
(if time permits).
Alternatively, we
can organise delivery of delicious Maltese
cocktail-size Pastizzi (cheese cakes).
These are delicious local savoury snacks
filled with either ricotta cheese or with
peas. Or we can arrange for a traditional
Maltese baker to deliver our mouthwatering
Maltese bread for dinner. We Maltese think
that our bread is the best in the world.
You will probably agree with us once you
have tasted it.
Photography
We can commission
various experienced photographers to take
shots of your cruise liner in the Grand
Harbour, as well as of any event on the
quay or on board. We can also arrange
aerial photographs. We will need to know
what format is required and we can provide
the images on a CD-ROM.
Other Services
Postcards with lovely
Maltese scenes can be purchased on your
behalf and sent to the ship prior to arrival
to Malta. We can arrange to have them
printed with your logo (minimum order
5000). A Watercolour and limited edition
Prints of your cruise liner with the magnificent
Grand Harbour as a backdrop can be commissioned
by us from one of the most talented local
maritime artists.
These could be prepared
in advance of the visit to Malta and sold
on board the ship. (We take photographs
of every cruise ship that we represent
when in Malta so we have a stock of images
to reproduce).
Guest speakers,
ranging from University Professors to
experts highly specialized in their fields
(e.g. Archaeology, Art, History) can be
engaged to deliver talks either on board
the ship or at a venue to be arranged.
Local entertainment can be arranged on
board the liner or on the quay.
