Windstar Cruises has announced that it is expanding its groups offering with the introduction of the complimentary All-Inclusive package on all Winter Mediterranean sailings, as well as enhanced benefits on a selection of cruises as part of its Star Advantage groups programme.
For the first time ever, Windstar is offering the complimentary All-Inclusive package on all Winter Mediterranean sailings for the entire lifetime of the group up to the departure date. The All-Inclusive package is worth £73 per person per day and the offer is combinable with all other benefits including $100 per guest onboard credit, 5% additional discount on current fares, one Tour Conductor Credit earned for every nine guests and a complimentary cocktail party for groups of over 18 guests.
Windstar has also expanded its Star Advantage group programme to include one Tour Conductor Credit for every seven guests booked, 10% additional group savings on current fares, $100 per guest onboard credit and further bonus commission per guest once minimum numbers are secured. This applies to a range of 2024 and 2025 sailings in the Greek Isles, Tahiti, the Mediterranean, Iceland, Costa Rica and the Caribbean.
To qualify for the above, new group contracts must be signed with no financial commitment by 31st March 2024.
Augustus Lonsdale, Head of Sales UK & Ireland at Windstar Cruises, comments: “Groups represent a fantastic way for agents to create their own bespoke offers which can be used for collections of FIT bookings as well as ready-made or hosted groups. Our new Winter Mediterranean groups programme will allow our agents to offer best in market deals for early bookings, as well as help them stay ahead of the competition with exclusive rates later in the year. This is just another way we are encouraging agents to commit to selling Windstar in 2024 and boost their business as we aim to make 2024 the best year ever for Windstar in the UK.”
