Regional flight connections are to be offered to join Norwegian Cruise Line departures in the Mediterranean
Jet2.com is to provide flights to join a selection of sailings from Venice and Barcelona.
Flights from either Manchester or Edinburgh to Venice connect with Norwegian Gem’s seven-night alternating ‘Venice and the Greek Isles’ and ‘Venice and the Aegean Sea’ itineraries depart from April 2010.
Manchester to Barcelona flights will be available for passengers to join Norwegian Jade’s new seven-night ‘Mediterranean Treasures’ itinerary from May to September 2010.
No additional regional price supplements apply for the direct departures.
NCL’s reservations team will provide all flight information at point of sale or within 24 hours for those booking through external systems, while the line’s flight desk team offers assistance with post-booking queries. Both are on hand six days a week year-round rising to seven in January and February.
NCL passenger services director Sally-Anne Beasley said: “Our affiliation with Jet2.com means travel partners can capitalise on the combined strength of regional flights and popular sailings, giving them the tools to help secure lucrative fly-cruise bookings for 2010 and boost earning potential this autumn.”
The airline’s passenger services director Phil Ward added: “Our relationship with NCL has allowed us to create a mutually beneficial package that will combine our high standards of customer service with some of NCL’s most exciting itineraries.
“Together we can offer the trade a complementary package which will help agents tailor their customers’ holiday experience further whilst also opening up cruise to a wider market.”
