Want to get into the very profitable niche of Small Ship Cruising?

There are two ways to do it --find some new clients OR...turn your existing clients on to an experience they will love!

Join Carol Parsons for a practical, tactical session on how & when it is appropriate to convert clients from big ships to small ships and from land tours to a small ship cruise.

After joining our session you will have a better understanding of:
• The customers' common denominators-psychographics & demographics
• Some really smart qualifying questions to ask
• Knowing when to recommend a Blount Small Ship Adventure

Your clients will thank you - and you will be earning healthy commissions along the way!

During today’s virtual travelogue, learn more about the three yachts that make up the American Safari Cruises fleet. The Safari Explorer carries 36-guests, the Safari Quest 22-guests and the Safari Spirit just 12 guests.

The staterooms feature TV/DVD players, iPod docking stations, and private baths, some with Jacuzzi tubs, Tempur-pedic® memory foam mattresses and heated tile bathroom floors. Our flagship, the Safari Explorer, offers Commodore Suites featuring a separated sitting area and a sliding glass door overlooking a small balcony.

In addition to exercise equipment and a whirlpool spa, each of the yachts carries kayaks, skiffs and stand-up paddle boards. Their relatively small size enables them to go where big ships cannot.
 
Underwater cameras mounted on the bow of each yacht provide a 24-hour view into the world below the water’s surface. Colorful images are streamed into the staterooms over designated TV channels and to the main salon’s large screens. Each inclusive yacht cruise features a professional Expedition Leader/Naturalist and local guides that provide educational lectures and narration on the destinations as well as arrange behind-the-scenes visits ...
