7th Annual Carlson Wagonlit Travel/holland America Line National Promotion Includes Stateroom Upgrades Of Up To 7-categories

Travelers Also Receive $50 Travelers Checks on Qualifying Purchases

MINNEAPOLIS, MN (Monday, January 30, 2006) - In celebration of Carlson Wagonlit Travel Associates' 7th Annual National Promotion with partner Holland America Line, the two travel powerhouses have teamed up to provide travelers with one of the year's most outstanding vacation values. From February 1-28, discerning travelers who book qualifying 2006 Holland America Line cruises through participating Carlson Wagonlit Travel Associates can receive up to a seven-category stateroom upgrade along with a $50 travelers check. That represents an opportunity to save significantly on some of the top cruises offered in this special promotion.

The offer is valid on select 2006 sailings and may range from one-category to seven-categories depending on ship, itinerary and sailing date selected. For example, the stateroom upgrade of up to seven categories is available on the most popular international "destination" being booked by Carlson Wagonlit Travel Associates this year: the Caribbean. In the 2006 Travel Trends Survey of 363 Carlson Wagonlit Travel Associate agents throughout the United States – conducted November 28-December 16, 2005 – 76.3% said Caribbean cruising was one of the five top international "destinations" they are booking for 2006.

Up to seven-category upgrades are also available on other popular destinations including Hawaii, Mexico, Europe, Canada and New England, as well as the Panama Canal. Additionally, up to six-category upgrades are available on Holland America Line's renowned Alaska CruiseTours. Up to three-category upgrades are available on Asia Pacific and South America, while upgrades of up to two categories are available on Holland America's super-popular Alaska cruises, as well as Australia and New Zealand.

"Increasingly, savvy travelers understand that cruise vacations offer them one of the most economical, value-driven options for seeing the world in style, often for significantly less than what it can cost for a comparable land vacation," noted Roger E. Block, CTC, executive vice president of the Carlson Wagonlit Travel Associate Division. "By partnering with Holland America Line for the seventh year in a row, our customers have the peace-of-mind in knowing that they're booking a winning combination of superb accommodations, exceptional itineraries and unmatched experiences that leave nothing to chance. We book Holland America Line with the confidence of knowing their staff will take excellent care of our customers."
