Carnival bids for pre-Christmas sales with preview brochure
Carnival Cruise Lines is offering £500 per couple early booking discounts in a 2006-07 preview brochure.
The savings apply to bookings confirmed before December 31. The lead-in rate is £899 for nine-night Caribbean fly-cruises on two departures of Carnival Triumph in November 2006 including a £100 early booking discount.
Carnival claims the brochure features a range of “easy to book” cruise holidays packaged with scheduled flights, hotels and transfers with all prices including taxes and non-commissionable fees.
The programme includes Caribbean departures on five ships from Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Tampa, Port Canaveral and Galveston. Los Angeles or San Diego can be combined with Mexican Riviera cruises on two ships leading in at £999; while New England/Canada cruises from New York start at £935.
The brochure also features Carnival Liberty’s second year in the Mediterranean, with an expanded programme of 15 departures from Rome, visiting Naples, Dubrovnik, Venice (overnight), Messina, Barcelona, Cannes and Livorno.
UK and Ireland sales and marketing director Lynn Narraway said: “This preview brochure has been designed to be both ‘easy to read’ and ‘easy to book’ for potential travellers, featuring fly/cruise prices for a range of stateroom types and popular itineraries right through 2006 until end of March 2007. We’ve introduced some great early booking savings to encourage pre-Christmas bookings”
