Norwegian Coastal Voyage brings in set departures
Niche cruising company, Norwegian Coastal Voyage, is moving towards the charter market, with the introduction of set departures to its 2003 brochure.
Passengers booking set departures, leaving on Fridays and Sundays, will save up to £100. Norwegian head of business development, Laurence Hicks said: “Our set departures are already proving very popular with 75 percent of sales from our preview brochure being booked for Friday and Sunday departures.”
Mr Hicks added that the cruise company is hoping to work with charter airlines in the future. It has secured a racking agreement with Thomas Cook, which will see its brochures in 50 of the groups cruising shops.
Mr Hicks hopes to sell half of Norwegian’s 2003 capacity by Christmas. Bookings for 2003 are up 30 percent when compared to forward bookings at this time last year, although this would be expected, as travel bookings were depressed in the aftermath of 11 September.
Set departures are available on the four main cruises, the Classic Round Voyage, the Coastal Explorer, the Voyage to the North and the Voyage to the South.
The 2003 brochure also features cruise and stay options, cruise and rail trips, and discounts for groups of ten or more.
