"Don't miss the boat" Both the 2009 inaugural program aboard the NCL Spirit and the 2010 program aboard the NCL Dawn sold out. We have 26 berths for the 2011 program and already 19 are reserved. There are only 7 berths
still available. Cruise vacations continue to rank No. 1 in consumer interest and value in 2011. The 3rd annual program is aboard the NCL Star, sailing October 1st from Los Angeles, CA to Tampa, FL via the PANAMA CANAL. Ports of call are Los Angeles, Cabo San Lucas, Acapulco, Huatulco, Puerto Quetzal, Puntarenas, Cartagena, Key West, Tampa. Now is the time to experience an amazing cruise while earning your certification. Your 2011 International Tour Manager Certification Program at sea, is scheduled for October 1 to 16 October (16 days, 15 night cruise) while onboard the NCL Star. Classes on the ship are conducted only during the 6 days you are at sea. You have no classes while in any of the ports-of-call. The cruise begins in Los Angeles, CA and ends in Tampa, FL. We are currently accepting enrollments for this program. There are 6 full days of class while we are at sea, beginning at 8:00 a.m. and ending 5:30 p.m. They are conducted in a private meeting room. Outside of classroom hours you are free to participate in all ship activities. Please note: you will be spending some time in individual and small groups for study and preparation as well as three hours on a motorcoach upon leaving the ship in Tampa. Most of the assignments can be completed prior to the start of the cruise program. Of course, all meals, entertainment, in-port excursions, etc. are available to the students and guests. Worried about the extra cost of certifying and cruising solo? Students willing to share will be assigned a student roommate. You will have the opportunity to talk with your roommate prior to the start of the program. You may bring non-student guest travelers at the regular NCL rate. Non-students cannot attend any of the classes but can join you at your graduation ceremony, on the motorcoach portion of the program in Tampa, and (outside of classroom hours) enjoy all the ship and shore amenities with you. Take advantage of these prices which are below NCL rates. We are offering a substantial discount for early enrollment and payment. The cruise portion cost per student (2 people to a cabin) is significantly below the NCL price. For those enrolled with IGA as a student aboard the NCL Star, the cruise portion of your program is substantially reduced. If you compare our prices with those on the NCL web site, please make sure to add $369.97 per person for taxes, port charges, etc. to the prices listed on the NCL web. IGA balcony cabin berths are only $2668.97 which includes
taxes, port charges, etc. Category BC. Price to you as a student
with IGA is a $540 savings over the NCL web price. You can still
get one through IGA when you take the certification program even
though NCL is showing balconies as sold out. We have one balcony
cabin still available. With the NCL site showing oceanview and balcony cabins as sold
out, this is your only chance to sign up and get one of the
remaining berths aboard this very popular cruise at a very low price. Guest prices are balcony $3458.97, oceanview $2498.97, and interior
$2018.97 including taxes, port charges, etc. The total price for your International Tour Manager
certification program is the same as in any of our USA or international
locations. There is a $200.00 registration fee and $1425.00 tuition
for a total of $1625.00. If you enroll by phone or fax, the original
signed enrollment form must be received within 7 days of your enrollment. After your initial registration fee for the program ($200.00) and for your berth ($200.00) aboard the ship (total $400.00) you can begin to pay in monthly installments up to July 1, 2011 when any unpaid balance must be made to be paid in full. Pay in multiple payments over the next months via personal check, credit card, or PayPal. It doesn't change the overall price to you, however, it does help spread out your investment in your education and career for those that want this option. Your Embarkation: Saturday 01 October 2011 scheduled for 4:00 p.m. and private party at 5:30 p.m. Your Disembarkation: Sunday 16 October 2011, a motorcoach tour with students narrating and finishing at the Tampa airport. Ports of call: Los Angeles, Cabo San Lucas, Acapulco, Huatulco, Puerto Quetzal, Puntarenas, Cartagena, Key West, Tampa Sat 01 October: Los Angeles- 4:00 PM We suggest enrolling as soon as you can make an informed decision for the 2011 program. The last two year's programs filled quickly and we could not accept all wanting to participate. Space is limited and based on availability. This cruise with NCL, and certification program by IGA, is capacity controlled, subject to availability and will be closed for enrollment when maximum capacity in the program is reached. Your enrollment form for the IGA Certification At Sea program is included when you order a catalog. As with all of our other courses, you may enroll by telephone, fax, email, or mail as you wish. All students and guests must have a valid passport, with at least 6 months before expiration past 16 October 2011, to board the ship. Address any questions to us at: 1.877.442.4862 or 303.780.0131 or daniel@bepaidtotravel.com This special low cruise price offer is good only for students taking the October 2011 International Tour Manager course aboard the NCL Star. In the event you enroll in this class and cruise, and then withdraw from the class, it is understood your cruise portion will also be cancelled along with any guest(s) you included as part of the group contract. Students enrolled in this program will have a special session providing a unique look at the roles you play while on a tour and how best to play them. Special IGA guest and presenter is Dave Johnson, a writer, trainer, and performer with the World Humor Organization, Inc. and Chicken Lips Entertainment. He has written and performed in customized shows and training programs for businesses, government groups, schools, and other organizations across the country and internationally. Some of the Certification at Sea graduates said the following: This was a once in a lifetime experience. The combination of travel and learning was an excellent idea. --Cassie Berube, California I was able to take my 1st Caribbean cruise and learn to be a Tour Manager. I cannot imagine taking a cruise without having something like this to occupy my time during the days at sea. Everyone (instructors and students) were very supportive and helpful. What a great group of people! --Andrea Keay-Gilbert, Colorado I loved the course! I have tremendous respect for IGA and was so pleased to be a part of this course. This has been fun! --Karen Arnold, Washington This experience has been wonderful. I never thought you could combine work/study with such a wonderfully relaxing experience. It is an experience I recommend without hesitation. Thank you. --Joselyn Carreras, NC I learned a lot, met a great group of people, saw wonderful sights at the ports, and had a terrific cruise. What more could anyone ask for! --Pat Perkins, Canada The combination of education and a cruise is unbeatable! It has been a fantastic experience. I am looking forward to my career in Tour Management and am very impressed with everyone. --Amy Davis, ME |
