Air Canada Vacations' New Cruise Booking Platform, Plus Bonuses For Agents

Agents have a great new way to book cruises.

Air Canada Vacations has announced the completion of phase one of the new Revelex® Power Agent 5.0 cruise booking engine upgrade. For a limited time, ACV is offering a 5% Bonus Commission when booking any cruise-only or cruise package using the new platform.

Bookings are valid between August 28 and September 18, 2019 for travel between August 28, 2019 and December 31, 2020. The 5% Bonus Commission is only applicable on the cruise portion. Conditions will apply.

“Phase one of Revelex® Power Agent 5.0 is an important milestone for us,” said Nino Montagnese, Managing Director at Air Canada Vacations. “The first phase of implementation focuses on the cruise component of the package. The second phase, coming later in 2019, will allow agents to dynamically book air + cruise together.”

User-friendly, simple, and fast, the new Revelex® Power Agent 5.0 platform allows travel agents to easily search for multiple cruise lines at one time. Users will immediately notice a larger and easier to read booking screen, with pop-up reminders outlining terms and conditions related to rate codes. The new view also includes a right-margin display of the booking steps, and upgrade/downgrade selection buttons.

Travel agents will have access to shop, book and pay in one easy transaction. Agents can book Fly and Cruise with more confidence thanks to Air Canada Vacations’ NEW Cruise Promise feature: Lowest Airfare. If a lower-priced flight is found with Air Canada or Air Canada Rouge, ACV will pay the entire cost of the flight for all passengers on the cruise booking.

The program features no deposit required on flights when flight and cruise are booked together up to 30 days before departure. In addition, all flights are 100% refundable, and one name change is permitted up to 30 days prior to travel. Customer even have the ability to earn Aeroplan® Miles.

With the ACV&ME loyalty program, travel agents who book hotels and groups will receive 600 points per room for packages of 7+ nights; 400 points per room for packages of 3-6 nights and 300 points per passenger for Group bookings. ACV&ME loyalty points can be redeemed for Aeroplan® Miles, travel vouchers or Visa gift cards.
