THE KEY TO SELLING CRUISE WEST is to promote the value, not the price. A lower priced trip that does not meet your clients' expectations is a bad value.
THE VALUE OF CRUISE WEST
- Cruise West offers life-enriching experiences in extraordinary destinations.
- Small ships can go where large ships cannot - through narrow waterways, to tiny ports, and to islands, inlets and coves without docks.
- Our focus is on up-close experiences with a focus on the destination, rather than the ship itself.
- One excursion or activity is included in all ports of call and shore stops.
- Flexible itineraries mean we can stop and linger to watch whales and other wildlife.
- An Exploration Leader offers expert narration on every sailing, and on our escorted land tours.
- Special guest speakers and local guides add insider insights.
- Tipping is neither expected nor required.
