With cruising being such a wonderful experience, it should come as no surprise that the logical cruise progression leads us straight to the river.
River cruising, be it in Europe, Asia, Africa, The United States or in Vietnam, provides the avid cruiser with yet another experience that will last a lifetime. It is the logical “next” step after the Caribbean, Alaska, The Panama Canal and The Med. What’s left? The River.
If there is validity to the marketing strategy of “entering the conversation prospects are already having with themselves,” then river cruising is the ideal conversation starter, enhancer and embellisher.
In order for the travel professional to “enter-the-conversation,” he or she must place themselves in position to do just that…. enter.

- Read, review and edit the sales letter found in your kit. You will be sending this letter to your targeted groups.
