MONTREAL — Air Canada Vacations is treating cruisers to an exclusive new offer that includes free airfare to Europe.

For a limited time, clients booking a European cruise that sails between May 1 and Oct. 31, 2019 can fly for free, paying only the flight taxes. Plus, they’ll receive 1,000 Bonus Aeroplan miles per person.

For bookings made between March 11 and April 7, the free flight offer and Aeroplan Bonus miles only applies to the first and second guest staring an Oceanview stateroom category or higher with Celebrity Cruises, Norwegian Cruise Line and Princess Cruises. Flight and cruise must be booked at the same time for the promotion to apply, and must depart and return from a port or city where Air Canada or Air Canada Rouge flies.

The free flight promotion is based on a maximum savings of $250 per person, and guests are responsible for paying the taxes, approximately $600 per person. The promotion is applicable to open jaws (flying into one city and departing from another), and is not applicable to one-way flights or group bookings.

Moreover, Dana Gain, Senior Director of Sales, Groups & Partnership, is reminding travel agents that “when booking our Economy Base fare, the first bag is free when you book a European cruise package with Air Canada Vacations.”
