DANBURY, Conn. - High gas prices and the uncertain economy may
cause a slow-down for the travel industry in general, but
bargain cruise hunters are finding the best prices in years.
"Cruise lines do not want to set sail with a ship that is
anything less than full, so last minute deals and bargains are
getting better now than ever before. A smart shopper who can
plan a cruise on short notice can get a genuine bargain,"
explained Steve Kaplan, vice president of eCruises.com.
With over 100,000 very satisfied customers, the on-line cruise
vacation specialist offers rock bottom pricing and a package of
benefits that cannot be found anywhere else.
The web site has cruise listings for over 10,000 sailings all
over the world, and the "Hot Deals" and "Last Minute Deals"
portion of the site deliver the best opportunities for
inexpensive cruise vacations to be found anywhere.
For example, a last minute deal on the Carnival Legend cruise
ship leaving from New York for the Eastern Caribbean is priced
at just $670 for an 8-day vacation. The amazing part is that
this is a total price. All the port charges, government taxes,
fees, and full travel insurance protection are included. In
fact, the company adds some perks not available anywhere else.
"Every one of our customers receives full travel insurance that
covers them from the moment they step out their door to the
moment they return. This is the best travel protection insurance
you can get, and we give it to you at no extra charge when you
book your cruise from eCruises.com," said Kaplan.
The company also gives each customer a one-year complementary
subscription to both "Cruise Travel" and "Travel America"
magazines, a combined value of $59.
The number of last minute deals on any one ship is usually very
limited, and the early bird gets the worm. Bargain cruise
hunters monitor the deals on eCruises.com and are quick to
respond.
eCruises.com is the only national retailer with one price up
front that includes everything required to get on board all
cruise ships. Cruisers can hear or see minute-by-minute real
time pricing and details on over 10,000 sailings from now until
mid 2006, by calling 800-223-6868 or by visiting www.ecruises.com.
