NCL simplifies its new brochure
NCL claims it has simplified its offering in its new 2010/2011 Freestyle Cruising brochure to help agents.
It says it has introduced new simplified cruise itineraries, better value cruise-only fares and more attractive group benefits to help agents sell.
Launched at this week’s Cruise Convention, the brochure gives agents the opportunity to upgrade early booking customers to the best available stateroom in their category when booking before 31 August (excluding Norwegian Epic itineraries).
These savings can also be applied to group bookings.
General manager UK Stephen Park said: “We have standardised our fly-cruise packages and made cruise-only prices even better value by removing included costs such as parking and kids’ packs.
“This means agents can pass better fares on to customers and tailor holidays to guests’ individual needs, making extra commission along the way.â€
NCL has also introduced new simpler cruises for the UK market for 2010 / 2011 including seven-night combinable eastern and western Caribbean itineraries onboard its newest ship Norwegian Epic, to be launched in 2010, and combinable seven-night itineraries for both Norwegian Gem out of Venice and Norwegian Jade from Barcelona.
“Shorter round-trip itineraries are easy for agents to learn to sell and come with an attractive price point,†added Park.
