Holland America Alaska Group Sales e-Kit

The kit includes a number of selling tools designed to help maximize group sales on Holland America’s cruises and cruise tours in Alaska and the Yukon.

Among those materials are a 2009 Alaska and the Yukon brochure, a detailed map showing tour routes, a flier detailing the cruise tour modes of travel, a variety of postcards for agents to mail, sample group rates including group advantage program (GAP) amenities and a current hotel promotion offering a complimentary or reduced rate hotel stay in Vancouver or Seattle.

To cut down on paper waste and mailing costs, most sales materials have been transformed into email-ready sales tools. Agents may email materials including the main brochure, along with a separate map. For clients who prefer receiving mail, the postcards can be ordered and mailed.

In addition, travel agents can offer groups special pricing with substantial savings off the early savings fares. A group pricing flier in the e-kit details starting rates on select dates, GAP points earned and the tour conductor ratio.

Groups can also pre-book customized shore excursions and tours, arrange for private transfers and hold private parties and meetings. There is also a Culinary GAP program and a Family Reunion GAP package.
