CruiseCompete Sales Up 25 Percent During First Four Months of This Year |
|
Despite the nation's economic slowdown, CruiseCompete.com today reported it has experienced a 25 percent increase in year-over-year sales for the first four months of 2008. |
CruiseCompete.com is providing more than 4,000 cruise quotes per day to prospective cruise travelers.
"Budgets may be tight, but most people are not willing to give up their vacations," said Heidi Allison-Shane, CruiseCompete.com spokesperson. "CruiseCompete.com instantly makes consumers smarter shoppers by letting many of the biggest cruise agency specialists compete for their business. More families and groups seem to be booking cruises so far this year. Cruises offer something for everyone and typically are the best vacation value out there.
"Seven night Mediterranean cruises appear to be the most heavily booked right now. We're seeing lovely Mediterranean cruises with a balcony on a luxury ship being booked for as low as $3,000 or less for a couple."
Other extremely popular destinations include the Caribbean, South America, Hawaii and the Canada/New England region. Many Alaska cruises for this summer are already sold out and holiday season voyages to the Caribbean also are filling up.
