NCL launches fly-cruise booking platform
Norwegian Cruise Line has launched a new platform, NCL Air, for fly-cruise bookings with real-time air fares available from various UK and Irish airports.
The cruise line says agents will benefit from a simplified booking process and they’ll receive 10% commission on the entire flight package.
Agents can sell NCL-contracted fares, which give guests greater flexibility, or restricted, cheaper fares that are subject to payment and cancellation restrictions. Upgrades to Premium Economy, Business and First Class flights are also available.
Fares include checked baggage, airport and port roundtrip transfers as well as a pre-cruise hotel night, if required. For flights arranged as part of a package, NCL will provide assistance in the event of flight cancellations or delays.
Agents can book flights with a variety of airlines including British Airways, Jet2, Virgin Atlantic, easyJet and KLM on Amadeus.
To mark the launch, NCL is giving agents the opportunity to win a fly-cruise for two onboard Norwegian Epic or Norwegian Dawn. Agents will be entered into a prize draw for every fly-cruise booking they make using NCL Air before 31 December.
