MSC Cruises Adds Group Booking Incentives

MSC Cruises is launching a new group booking promotion this summer, giving U.S.-based travel advisors and their group clients access to extra rewards on cruises sailing through November 2023. Incentives include discounted cruise fares, free berths, bonus amenity points, and more.

“Travel advisors know the unmatched value of a cruise vacation better than anyone, and our goal at MSC Cruises is to provide the best value of all,” said Lynn Torrent, executive vice president and chief commercial officer for MSC Cruises, USA. “Unlocking additional savings for our guests and adding incentives for our value travel advisors makes relaxing at sea and exploring our World of Discovery more attainable than ever.”

Bonuses include:

Discounted Cruise Fare: First and second guests in each stateroom receive discounts based on cruise length ($30 per person for two to six nights, $50 per person for seven to 11 nights, and $100 per person on cruises of 12 or more nights).

Bonus Amenity Points: Travel advisors can use amenity points toward sweetening the deal for clients with enhancements like stateroom gifts, cocktail parties, Wi-Fi or onboard credit. The points can also go toward items for advisors themselves, like bonus commissions, accelerated tour conductor berths, or marketing funds.

Waived Deposits: No deposit is required for up to 16 staterooms.

Tour Conductor Credits: Two free tour conductor berths per 16 berths booked.

Travel advisors can qualify for the new booking incentives by booking new groups of eight or more staterooms between June 23 and August 21, 2022 for sailings departing November 1, 2022 through November 30, 2023.
