HOLLYWOOD, FL — ***** Cruises is offering travel agents an array of perks with its *****’s Caribbean Celebration group promotion.
The limited-time program features special rates, higher commissions and other bonuses for booking groups of eight or more cabins aboard ***** Luminosa and ***** Mediterranea on new 10- and 11-night sailings roundtrip from Miami next winter.
Travel agents who book during the group promotion can offer clients cruise-only fares starting from US$699 per person, double occupancy.

For every eight cabins sold agents earn one free berth plus an agent-rate cabin, based on double occupancy. Other promotional perks include 50% reduced deposits and options for cocktail parties, onboard credits and complimentary wine or Prosecco.
