NCL to pay commission on NCFs
Norwegian Cruise Line announced it will start paying travel advisors commission on non-commissionable fares (NCFs).
It applies to the travel agent community worldwide.
NCL says it is the first major contemporary cruise line to pay on NCFs for new reservations booked outside of the 120-day window.
“Our Partners First philosophy remains top of mind, and our decision to pay commission on NCFs is further proof of our commitment to this community,” said NCL President and CEO Harry Sommer.
“We want our partners to thrive.”
It says it will further help travel partners establish a stronger relationship with their clients and increase brand loyalty.
“Our travel partners are incredibly important to us and our business; it is a true partnership,” said Gary Anslow, senior director of sales UK&I at NCL.
The payment of NCFs will go into effect on 1 January, 2023 for new reservations made 120 days prior to sailing for cruises departing 1 May, 2023 onwards.
To qualify for the NCF commission, travel partners will need to submit a marketing plan to their NCL Sales Support Team by 31 December, 2022.
