Cruise Incentives - Preferred Awards

People prefer Travel

For sales incentives, performance improvement, purchase inducements, loyalty programs, contests and sweepstakes, there is no more welcome reward than a travel certificate. And the most desirable travel certificate is Carnival Preferred Rewards. Our certificates are flexible and all-inclusive. And they give you, the provider, a wide range of options. Plus, we take care of all the details, which makes Preferred Awards the most convenient program you could choose.

Travelers prefer Cruising

Why is Carnival cruise such a great reward? Easy. Research has shown that cruising has the highest satisfaction rate of all travel alternatives. That's a very impressive fact. Even more impressive is that every year Carnival takes more guests to more destinations on more ships from more ports of departure than any other cruise line. And what is our satisfaction rate? An outstanding 98%. So, a 3, 4, 5, 7 or 8 day Carnival cruise is a great reward, especially since it includes spacious accommodations, all meals, entertainment and unlimited fun.

Cruisers prefer Carnival

When your award winners take a "Fun Ship" cruise vacation, they'll have the time of their lives! Because they'll be pampered aboard a floating resort that features spacious accommodations, three or more pools and a wealth of indoor/outdoor activities, including a golf program. They'll enjoy a choice of clubs and lounges, lavish entertainment, and a variety of fine and casual dining options. And they'll be dazzled by amenities that include the Spa Carnival^SM fitness center and salon and a large, friendly casino. For winners traveling with children, Carnival offers a wide choice of activities for kids of all ages including the supervised activities of the Camp Carnival^SM program for youngsters and - for teens - special excursions as well as their own social center, Club 02^SM.

Carnival offers more choice

Our Preferred Awards Program offers you and your award recipient greater selections of flexibility including a wide choice of destinations and convenient ports of departure.

More great reasons Carnival Certificates are such a perfect choice:


• Certificates are valid for 18 months - Budgets can be guaranteed. All costs are known upfront. This provides sufficient time to run your motivation or promotional program and provides the winners ample time to use the reward.
• Order as many or as few as you'd like - This makes it possible for you to conduct a modest promotion or incentive program or - with the same ease - a major sales drive or sweepstakes.
• Promotional Support is available - Shells, postcards and brochures are available at a very low cost to help support the promotional efforts of the incentive program.
• Winners have lots of flexibility - Participants have a choice of itineraries and departure ports. They also have the option of purchasing airfare and transfers from Carnival, their travel agent, or on their own.
• Certificates are fully upgradeable - Winners can use the certificate for the cruise and accommodations they have earned. Or they can apply its value toward an accommodation upgrade or any other Carnival cruise over any dates by simply paying the required difference.

Customized Certificates designed just for your Program:


• Premium - These certificates offer the most flexibility and the greatest number of available sailing dates. They are valid year-round and include all government taxes, fees and shipboard gratuities.
• Superior - These certificates offer most of the flexibility of our Premium Certificates at a lower cost in exchange for the additional blackout dates of June 12 - August 25, holiday weekends and sailing surrounding the Easter Holiday. These certificates include all government taxes, fees and shipboard gratuities.
• Choice - These certificates provide even greater savings since they are for the fall season only (the first sailing after Labor Day until mid-December). They include all government taxes, fees and shipboard gratuities.
• Special - These value-priced certificates, like Choice, are for the fall season only. They do not include government fees, taxes or gratuities. The recipients must pay for those at the time of booking their cruise.

Note: With purchase of 50 certificates or more, we can even create customized certificates designed just for your program.
