Carnival Cruise Line Offers Special Carnival Vista Europe Group Promotion Through February 28
Offer Features 50 Percent Reduced Deposits on Sailings and Increased Amenity Points for Travel Agents
MIAMI (January 26, 2015) – With
reservations now open for the new Carnival Vista, which debuts in May 2016 with
eight- to 13-day Mediterranean itineraries, Carnival Cruise Line is hosting a
special promotion offering reduced initial deposit requirements for group
bookings by 50 percent, as well as an enhanced amenity points program for
travel agents, through February 28, 2015.
Through
the new “Meet Up in the Med” promotion, guests may enjoy reduced deposits of
$200 per person (compared to the standard $400 per person) on Carnival Vista
sailings departing between May 1, 2016 and October 21, 2016. In addition,
Carnival is offering travel agents eight amenity points versus the normal six
amenity points for each group booking.
“We
heard from travel agents over the last year how important group business is to
them, so we wanted to present a value-driven group opportunity that not only
offers attractive options on our newest ship but also on our first European
sailings in three years,” said Joni Rein, Carnival’s vice president of
worldwide sales. “From multigenerational family gatherings to girlfriend
getaways, this promotion offers agents a multitude of ways to bring together
groups who want to visit breathtaking European destinations on our newest, most
innovative ship.”
Group
fares applicable to this promotion, which are available between now and
February 28, 2015, begin at $999. Certain restrictions apply.
Designed to connect guests to the
ocean with sweeping views and plenty to do both outdoors and in, Carnival Vista
will take cruising to new heights and introduce an exciting array of
groundbreaking new features. These include SkyRide, a breakthrough suspended
open-air cycling experience; the world’s first IMAX® Theatre on a
cruise ship; an expanded water park featuring the colorful Kaleid-O-Slide, the
line’s first raft-riding water tube slide; Seafood Shack, a delectable New
England-inspired eatery; RedFrog Pub, including the line’s first onboard
brewery, and other enhanced dining, bar and entertainment options, along with
new tropics-inspired Havana staterooms and other accommodation types.
