It is hard to believe that we have been working together for over 25 years!
I want to congratulate America's Vacation Center for creating an industry leading host agency program for professional cruise selling agents. The results clearly show that your independent home based professional agents have amazing incomes that far exceed the industry average. We wish we could clone America's Vacation Center!
It is with great pleasure that Carnival Cruise Line has grown to become the World's Most Popular Cruise Line, and that America's Vacation Center has become one of the top sellers of Carnival's "Fun Ship" Vacations. Today's Carnival offers so much more than ever before. Fabulous entertainment, friendly casinos, Spa Carnival, Total Choice Dining, Camp Carnival, and over 60 exotic ports of call.
America's Vacation Center's growth has truly been remarkable. It's no wonder both our companies have grown to be industry leaders.
We look forward to the next 25 years!

Dear America's Vacation Center/American Express
Congratulations on your impressive sales and customer service for more than 3 decades! Your ability to match each guest with the right vacation has led to tens of thousands of happy travelers sailing on our fleet of exciting ships. Our 20th ship, Freedom of the Seas, brings a new dimension to the "Get out There" theme of a Royal Caribbean Cruise. You can catch a wave on the industry’s first FlowRider, climb a rock wall, go ice-skating, or create your own adventure aboard the largest ship afloat.
With so much to do, our guests know that we are not your average cruise line and we are glad that AVC agents are knowledgeable and can help our guests find the right Royal Caribbean cruise that suits their needs.
In 2007 and 2008, we'll be introducing two more Freedom-class ships and as we grow, we know AVC's sales will grow as well. We're glad to have America's Vacation Center as a top seller of our unique cruise vacations and we look forward to years of continued success together.

Dear America’s Vacation Center,
Thank you for the amazing amount of business you give Brendan Worldwide Vacations.
We hear time and time again how AVC is in a league of it's own, having created a home-based business opportunity that not only dramatically increases travel agents' incomes, but provides unparalleled support and training. Your successful home-based network is now the talk of the industry.
Congratulations on developing Agent Power 5.0, the industry leading Web-based software integrating everything an agent needs to sell and service vacations. We've seen the success of Agent Power first-hand, and it's an invaluable resource to agents.
Brendan has been in business for 38 years, and we are proud of the memorable vacations we have created for hundreds of thousands of our satisfied customers. Our partnership with AVC significantly enhances Brendan's success because AVC is one of the primary host agencies we work with, bringing us repeat customers, year after year.
We look forward to expanding our partnership with AVC over the coming years!
Sincerely,
Gary Murphy
President

Congratulations on your incredible success selling Oceania Cruises! Your outstanding professional home-based agent network has led you to become our most valued travel partner.
Oceania Cruises has achieved remarkable success by providing award winning itineraries, service, and dining. Our ships feature a country club, casual atmosphere that appeals to even the most sophisticated traveler. America's Vacation Center's unique host agency concept allows your home-based agents to live a lifestyle of success. I am extremely impressed with the amazing incomes that your home-based agents are able to earn because of their affiliation with America's Vacation Center. From what I know, the average AVC agent earns 10-20 times what other home-based agents are earning.
We look forward to continue working together in the future with America's Vacation Center and sharing our award winning cruises with our mutual guests.
Sincerely,
Frank Del Rio
Chairman
Oceania Cruises

Dear America's Vacation Center,
As President of Celebrity Cruises, I want to commend you for your outstanding support of our company!
The first time we met, I knew that AVC had something very special. Since then, you have succeeded in creating one of the industry's best home-based agent programs and became one of Celebrity Cruises top sellers. Everyone in the vacation industry has been amazed at the productivity and incomes that your professional, independent home-based agents are making. We are impressed that year after year they just keep getting better.
Congratulations on creating Agent Power 5.0, the industry leading Web-based software that integrates everything an agent needs to sell and service vacations. Having a Web-based, integrated system that features a powerful customer data base, marketing, booking engine, invoicing, and commission tracking is impressive by itself, but now that you have added e-mail and customer service features, you are truly at the leading edge of host agencies. Your new home-based version of www.americasvacationcenter.com allows your home-based agents to have a cutting-edge Web site of their very own. I like the fact that home-based agents can now compete with anyone by having their own professional Web site that is powerful and cutting edge.
Celebrity Cruises continues to innovate and grow as well. We have a top-rated fleet and are excited about our new Solstice class ships that will revolutionize the premium cruise guest experience beginning in 2008! We are also adding many new and exciting destinations! Stand by for some very exciting and innovative Celebrity announcements!
Once again, congratulations on creating an amazing home-based independent program!
Dan Hanrahan
President

Dear America’s Vacation Center,
Congratulations and thank you for creating a network of Crystal specialists across North America.
While you are recognized by the premium and mass markets, you are one of Crystal’s top producers because you also know how to sell luxury. As vast as your system is, you have been able to train your experts to sell up, further demonstrating that all agents have luxury clients. While you are known for your technical skills, we appreciate you for your selling skills. It is because of your talent, creativity and your unequivocal professionalism that you enjoy an elite standing as one of Crystal’s best travel partners.
We are honored that the readers of Condé Nast Traveler and Travel + Leisure magazines, many of whom are your clients, have voted Crystal Cruises the “World’s Best Large-Ship Cruise Line” for 11 consecutive years. From our distinctive Creative Learning Institute with complimentary Yamaha keyboard lessons and Berlitz language classes to our European trained wait-staff in the Crystal Dining Room to our specialty restaurants featuring the cuisine of Nobu Matsuhisa, Wolfgang Puck and Piero Selvaggio, the difference is “Crystal Clear.” Frette bathrobes and Egyptian cotton linen in every stateroom, along with one of the highest space per guest ratios at sea, continue to demonstrate the many features of Crystal’s Value Proposition. America’s Vacation Center’s cruise experts get it. You understand the fine nuances of Crystal Cruises, and the extraordinary quality, innovative choices, abundant space and impeccable service that distinguish the Crystal product.
Thank you for your continued support. We look forward to another great year together.
Best Regards,
Gregg Michel
President
Crystal Cruises
