TravelPulse Canada founder and president John Kirk is aboard Celebrity Ascent, the latest ground-breaking ship from Celebrity Cruises’ Edge series.

Kirk is spending time with Allan Brooks, Celebrity’s Director of Sales, Canada. With nearly 25 years with the company, including almost 13 aboard ships as a Cruise Director, Brooks is a true expert on the product.

"Babbling Brooks" with John Kirk, Episode #1

Click on the video link for an in-depth tour of Celebrity Ascent, and a discussion on sustainability, dining options, entertainment, public spaces and the value of the travel advisor.

The video doubles as the first episode of a 12-part monthly series called ‘Babbling Brooks,’ which will see Brooks and Kirk explore the world of Celebrity Cruises while offering sales tips and product insights.

The ‘Babbling Brooks’ title is a nod to Brooks’ days of travelling the world on Celebrity as a cruise director, when he produced a daily show under that name, informing guests of the day’s activities and opportunities. 

With TravelPulse Canada, Brooks will keep Celebrity sellers informed throughout 2024, with monthly ‘Babbling Brooks’ updates.
