Costa Offers Agents Chance to Be Part of Inaugurals

Costa Cruises will debut two new ships in 2009 and the line is giving travel agents a chance to be part of the celebrations.

Agents who reserve and deposit a Europe group or combination of Europe groups totaling at least 60 passengers will be entered for the chance win a stateroom on either the Costa Luminosa or Costa Pacifica inaugural.

In addition to the promotion, travel agents will have rates discounted off Early Booking Fares, Amore Points and new amenities such as the ability to command 17 percent commissions. Group fares for Costa’s 2009 Europe itineraries begin at $499 per person.
