Carnival launches group booking sales offer
Carnival Cruise Line has launched a new sales promotion for group bookings, waiving its deposit requirement on selected sailings booked through June 2015.
During the ‘Great Group Getaway’ promotion, deposits are being waived on selected sailings to the Caribbean, Bahamas, Mexican Riviera, Canada and Europe departing January 2016 through April 2017.
Carnival is making it easier for agents to earn a free cruise berth, reducing the ratio from one free berth for every 15 full fare guests to a free berth for every 10 full fare guests.
On some sailings travel agents can earn one free cruise berth for every eight full fare guests during the promotional period.
"We wanted to kick off the summer season with a robust and attractive group promotion that would drive lucrative affinity and multi-generational group travel opportunities to our valued travel agent partners," said Mike Julius, Carnival’s senior managing director of field sales.
"Through our Carnival Conversations events, agents have shared that waived deposits and enhanced free tour conductor berths continue to be popular incentives for securing group bookings."
