In honor of National Cruise Vacation month, Norwegian has created a number of customizable resources travel partners can take advantage of such as a variety of downloadable marketing tools designed for agents complete with e-mail blasts, banner ads and flyers at www.nclagentsalesevent.com. Plus, for the first time ever, the portal also provides agents with customizable e-cards and sharable content for Facebook and Twitter allowing them the convenience to socialize with clients easily and frequently.
Norwegian also just launched the Norwegian Epic Virtual Inaugural (www.norwegianepiclive.com) where partners can explore the ship with Cruise Director Silas Cook through a series of informational videos on dining, accommodations, entertainment, family activities, solo travelers and luxury at sea. The site also includes helpful links to interact with Norwegian and Epic fact sheets available for download in order to help agents learn about and promote the ship.
