SAN DIEGO, June 22, 2006 — America’s Vacation Center / American Express (AVC) announced today that they have reserved more than 15,000 cabins on upcoming cruises in order to save customers money and deliver more onboard amenities.
"With so many exclusive cabins, AVC can offer consumers rates that they won’t find anywhere else, as well as space on cruises that are sold out for other travel agencies," said Brad Anderson, co-president of America’s Vacation Center. "Not only will they save money, but most of those cabins include extra amenities to give customers more bang for their buck."
AVC’s 15,000+ cabins are especially useful to large families, church groups, clubs, corporate incentives, and other groups. While other travel agencies will be unable to provide even one cabin on sold out cruises, AVC may be able to offer multiple cabins to that group, so they can all go on the trip together and not have to worry about changing dates or itineraries.
In addition, AVC has arranged extra amenities including onboard coupon books, bathrobes, free photos, prepaid gratuities, free bottles of wine with dinner, shipboard credit to spend on anything from drinks to shore excursions, and more.
"Imagine scouring travel web sites to find everyone is sold out of the cruise you want," said Jeff Anderson, AVC’s director of marketing. "Then you call AVC to find that not only do we have space, but we’re selling it at a fraction of the brochure rate and we include hundreds of dollars in free bonus amenities as well."
