September 23, 2008 - NCL has launched a dedicated Alaska brochure offering five new itineraries for 2009 - and agents who are quick off the mark can make the most of an early booking incentive to upgrade guests up to seven stateroom categories on their Alaskan adventure.

The Freestyle Cruising Alaska brochure showcases brand new Alaskan Adventures including Alaskan Seascapes to the Golden Gate, which takes in Ketchikan and San Francisco, and Pacific Coast & Sawyer Glacier, setting sail from Los Angeles, cruising to Vancouver.

A new addition also featured is an add-on tour of Alaska's Denali National Park. Beginning in Anchorage, the tour offers the opportunity to fly across the Chugach Mountains, as well as a guided coach tour through the Park itself. This tour can be combined with the classic Alaskan Seas &Glacier Bay itinerary on Norwegian Pearl.

The brochure takes advantage of NCL's 'Better Stateroom, Better Price, Better Book Now' autumn campaign, allowing guests to save up to £190 per person.

The promotion enables agents to capitalise on free upgrades of up to seven stateroom grades, as all staterooms within a category - inside, oceanview and balcony, are now the same price. The offer applies to all 2009 Alaskan packages booked before October 31,2008.

Brand new itineraries include:

• An 8-night West Coast Discovery fly-cruise on board Norwegian Star travels 19 September: Fly UK/Vancouver - Victoria (British Columbia) - Astoria (Oregon) - Cruise the Pacific - San Francisco - Los Angeles/Fly UK, and is priced from £1349 per person.
