American cruise line, NCL, has announced details of its new Group Sales Programme, which will reward groups with ‘Amenity Points’ depending on the cruise itinerary, duration and departure date.

Once a GTO has selected a cruise, they will be given a value of ‘Amenity Points’, which can be redeemed against onboard credit and services. GTOs are then free to spend the points as they wish. For instance, a 14-night Mediterranean cruise, departing in June 2009, is allocated eight amenity points, which could be equivalent to $100 onboard credit for every stateroom (four points), a one-hour cocktail party (two points), a bottle of sparkling wine for every stateroom (one point) and a group photograph for every member (one point).

In addition, parties of eight or more also benefit from special group pricing and one free place for every 16 adult passengers.
