CRUISECO has partnered with Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) in a major new initiative to help travel agencies navigate the financial pressures of COVID-19, allowing them to bank early commissions as they drive future cruise sales.
The move was unveiled to members of the consortium late last week, with Norwegian Cruise Line to deliver 3% upfront commission to Cruiseco agents on NCL cruises booked between 01 Oct and 31 Dec.
The incentive scheme was unveiled by Cruiseco marketing manager Adam Vance, who told TD “every person who is going to cruise in the next 12-24 months is sitting on an agent’s database somewhere…NCL is investing in members, who in turn communicate and promote via their databases.
“Early commissions help solidify the travel agent and Cruiseco member channel,” he said.
The 3% prepayment is valid right across the NCL fleet for sailings through until 2023, and includes bookings made on any of 40 Cruiseco NCL fly/cruise or stay/cruise packages, as well as all cruise only offers.
Normal commission will still be applicable to all bookings made in the normal booking/deposit/full payment timeline, and all new bookings are eligible, including cash sales and Future Cruise Credit redemptions.
