NCL America spotlighted in Union Plus benefit (7/6)

SIU-contracted NCL America is featured in a new promotion offered through Union Plus, a non-profit organization founded by the AFL-CIO to secure a variety of high quality, discounted products and services for union members and their families.

The new Union Plus Cruises program began July 1, featuring Hawaiian cruises on the U.S.-flag, union-crewed deep sea cruise ships: the Seafarers-crewed Pride of Aloha and Pride of America. It also is expected to include the Pride of Hawaii when that vessel joins the NCL America fleet in 2006.

“Union Plus Cruises feature a 5 percent discount off all cruises from Norwegian Cruise Line,” the organization noted in an announcement. “There may also be other special offers with savings up to 30 percent off selected sailings. A special introductory offer will give union families free air fare to Hawaii from Los Angeles and San Francisco and reduced air fare from over 100 gateway cities.”

The introductory offer for free or reduced air fare expires Sept. 30, 2005. Interested individuals may call 1-866-867-0593 and request promotion code AIR-UP1 to take advantage of this offer, or visit www.unionplus.org/cruises

Seafarers are eligible for a number of additional benefit programs offered through Union Plus, including mortgage and real estate services, union-made checks, an online tax service, health savings, an auto-buying program, music and computer discounts and more. The Seafarers LOG periodically publishes a complete list of those programs along with contact information. The same data is available at www.unionplus.org/
