Dear Travel Partners:
There’s never been a better time to be Norwegian. Being Norwegian isn’t just about the absolute
best way to cruise, it’s also the best way to do business. Join the community of travel agents who
have already become Norwegian.
Together, through Partners First, we have accomplished much. As we head into our 3rd year,
there are many exciting things to come. Norwegian Breakaway, Norwegian Getaway and
Norwegian Breakaway Plus are on the way. These ships will delight your customers and bring

As we continue to grow together in 2014, we will strengthen our commitment to you. We will:

BETTER
1. Group Rate Integrity : If the group rates are lowered, the new lower rates can be applied to
an existing group.
2. Guest Facing Amenity Dollars are protected down to one cabin.
3. New Deposit Structure:
• 8 - 16 staterooms : $0 deposit due until 4 months prior to sailing
• 17 - 99 staterooms : $0 deposit due for 60 days, then a $25 per stateroom deposit
required
• 100 + staterooms : Negotiated time line / deposit
FASTER
1. Commission is now processed upon stateroom final payment, which means you can get
paid up to 60 days earlier.
2. Commission Paid through Global Commission Payment program.
3. Group Administration has greater empowerment alleviating the need for long approval
periods.
Here's just some of the ways Groups 2.0 is Better, Faster, and Simpler:
SIMPLER
1. We have restructured our Group Types. There are now 3 - types, which makes
booking a group simpler than ever before.
• 1 - 16 staterooms
• 17 - 99 staterooms
• 100 + staterooms : Large Group contract
• Final Payment for all 3 types is due 75 days prior to sailing.
2. We now have two recall dates, 120 days prior to sailing and 75 days prior to sailing
3. The recall process is automated to include notification one week prior to sailing.
4. Freestyle dining available to groups.
Booking groups, whether for established groups (affinity) or for promotional purposes is
your can’t miss proposition to remain competitive by securing the best pricing and
protecting amenity dollars while you promote – even if you sell only one cabin.
What is the Salespal?
It’s our pricing and inventory ledger. And,
Perhaps the most powerful tool to stay up-to-date and quickly access
information.
It is updated weekly.
House all our special rates such as resident rates, gateway offers, hot
deals, military, etc.
Breaks down all our group availability.
Filters by ship, date, itinerary and much more.
Salespal keeps you competive by providing the best offers.

​Why participate in AGC on board the Norwegian Breakaway?
It’s much more than a cruise – it’s a networking, educational and powerhouse of an industry event that
will help you move your business forward.
What’s in it for me?
• Set yourself above your competitors. Gain recognition on board and supplement your Convention
experience by earning three highly valued and marketable specializations from New York &
Company, Bermuda and Norwegian Cruise Line prior to sailing.
• Boost your profitability. Develop strong lasting personal relationships with key suppliers that will
help drive up your bottom line. This event offers an innovative and intimate trade show with ample
one-on-one networking time with industry executives.
• Enhance your business and develop long lasting strategic goals. Participate in interactive
educational sessions offered by inspiring subject matter experts that will help you learn, set your
strategic goals and move your business forward.
• Experience one of the most exciting ships in the industry – one recently named Best New Ship by
Cruise Critic editors – the Norwegian Breakaway combines the best of New York City with the most
magnificent amenities at sea.
• Fun! Yes, fun. All work and no play makes for a dull existence. Get your mojo back. Join ASTA and
suppliers at inspiring networking events and parties. Enjoy the excitement and energy of New
York, the magic of Bermuda and the thrill of the new Norwegian Breakaway.
