Selling Tip- Experience More with Collectors’ Voyages – We’ve packaged a series of back-to-back itineraries that combine to an in-depth experience and an exceptional value. When your clients are already paying top dollar for airfare for their once in a lifetime vacation, why not suggest a Collector’s Voyage that maximizes their return on vacation investment? Guests get one set of documents and are ensured they’re booked through in the same stateroom. 30-40% of our Europe guests choose a collector- this doubles your commission! Collectors provide at least a 10% discount off the two cruises booked individually- sometimes more! With the high cost of airfare this is the best way to see Europe.

Selling Tip - See ALL of Alaska – before you present options for a 7-day cruise to clients, remind them that the only way to see all of Alaska is on a cruisetour. Whether to Denali, Mt. McKinley and the heart of Alaska, or through the breathtaking beauty of the Yukon, Holland America Line’s cruisetours make certain your clients see it all. From the product announcement: Experience: Tracing our Alaska & Yukon roots back to 1947, we’ve been showing visitors the Great Land for more than 65 years Denali, Denali, Denali: we have news in Denali! Balance of the “Must See” & the “Seldom Seen” In addition to Alaska’s major attractions (like Denali) we explore off the beaten path with far fewer guests (Seward, Alyeska Resort, Dawson City, Kluane & Tombstone Parks, the Yukon River) Flexibility & Choice: combine a 3-, 4-, or 7-Day cruise with land tours ranging from 2 to 13 days. Encourage your clients to take their time: For the best experiences guests need to take their time to see the natural wonders of Alaska and the Yukon (two and three night options in key locations) Personalized Adventures: Our cruisetours provide the guided framework for our guests to customize their individual vacations – by adding shore and land excursions along the way, every member of a travelling party can design their own personal adventure Personal Attention: All Yukon series (Y1-Y6) and Denali Plus (D8 & D9) cruisetours include the services of a Tour Concierge who travel with guests throughout the land portion of the itineraries. In addition, all tours have the benefit of our Guest Service Hosts in each location to facilitate travel needs along the way This just in…we have added peak Alaska cruise dates to Early Advantage so your clients can take advantage of these great rates.

Kluane is a vast and rugged wilderness – it encompasses more than 10 million acres and includes 5 of North America’s 7 tallest peaks, including Mt. Logan which is just a few hundred feet shy of Mt. McKinley. Until recently Kluane has not been accessible to visitors, even though the Alaska Highway runs along its border. Over the past few years, Holland America has developed extensive partnerships with local guides and tour operators to create authentic wilderness experiences in and around the park. Kluane is accessible from Whitehorse, the capital of the Yukon. Tours within the Yukon are perfect for your clients who want an un-crowded wilderness experience.
By spending more time Denali your clients can travel at a more relaxed pace and have a greater chance of seeing wildlife and sights such as Mt McKinley. We have new TRIPLE DENALI itineraries that will give your clients ample opportunity to see the wonders of Denali.
