The Complete World's Largest Cruise Night Offer List!

Every year, CLIA (the Cruise Lines International Association, which is the combined marketing/PR arm for the cruise lines, as well as the primary advanced training certification agency for agents), organizes what they call the "Worlds Largest Cruise Night."

Many of you may have participated in a traditional cruise night, where a local agent hosts an event, featuring one or several cruise lines, itineraries or groups. In this virtual age, however, we've moved beyond that old model, and now can offer a virtual cruise night to everyone, regardless of where you live!

The virtual cruise night gives you the same offers and benefits as a traditional in-person cruise night, but you have the advantage of looking at the offers from the comfort of your home (or office), taking your time to evaluate and choose, plus getting one-on-one service from me, rather than competing with others for time to get your questions answered.

This year, the World's Largest Cruise Night (WLCN) is officially on October 14, 2009. While some of the offers from the various cruise lines are only good on that date, many have extended their offers over several days to give you more time. All the major lines are offering promotions for you to entice you to book your next cruise.

You'll likely be receiving lots of information this week about the various offers, but for your convenience, I've put them all in one place for you, along with some of their more notable restrictions.

In addition, my company has negotiated several EXCLUSIVE deals you won't find anywhere else! Those are also listed below.

If you're thinking about booking a cruise for this year or next, it may pay you to check out these offers and take advantage of the WLCN.

The World's Largest Cruise Night is Coming!

You may have already received some email promos for this, but if not, I wanted to give you a head's up. The World's Largest Cruise Night (WLCN) is coming on Thursday!

What is the WLCN? It's sponsored by CLIA, the Cruise Lines International Association, a combined PR and marketing arm of the cruise lines, along with the primary advanced certification agency for agents (such as my own ACC credential).

Every year in October, they sponsor the WLCN, an event which takes place both traditionally, in agencies across the country, and virtually in cyberspace. You may have attended a traditional cruise night in the past, where you gather at an agency, are presented cruise videos or other materials from one or several cruise lines, and often given special offers to book that night.

I will be hosting a virtual cruise night, where you can stay in the comfort of your office or home, view the various offers, and call or email me to participate in the savings! You get the benefit of more personal attention, plus the time you need to consider the offers and make your decision (many of the offers are good for more than just one day, for example). I will have offers from every major cruise line, but in addition, my company has negotiated several EXCLUSIVE offers for you as well.

These offers are still being compiled, but I will send them out late on Tuesday. If you're subscribed to my CruiseResource newsletter, you will receive them by email. If you'd like to subscribe, you can sign up at CruiseResource Newsletter. I will also post them here on Wednesday if you want to wait for those here.

The cruise lines are going all out to get your business. If you're looking to book for 2008 or 2009, this is an excellent opportunity. Of course, call or email me for more details, even if you don't want to wait for the offers and you want to be first in line for the savings!
