Travel agents to benefit from MSC Cruises’ new onboard booking initiative
MSC Cruises has created a new open booking initiative for passengers who want to make a reservation at sea without committing to a particular vessel, itinerary or sailing date.
The new initiative is designed to complement MSC Cruises’ Future Cruise programme, which was introduced six months ago.
With a £100 deposit, passengers can now secure their next cruise while onboard an MSC ship. They will then receive a certificate giving them up to 12 months to select their preferred sailing date.
The travel agent who made the original cruise reservation will receive the full commission from these new onboard bookings.
Passengers receive up to £200 on onboard credit per cabin – if they select their ship and departure date within 60 days of making the onboard open booking.
Alternatively, they can book within one year and still receive up to £100 in onboard credit.
UK and Ireland sales director Steve Williams said: “We want to offer our guests more flexibility in choosing their next ship and sailing date and the open booking programme gives guests onboard up to a year to make that decision while earning future credit for their next holiday at sea.”
