Travelius/CruiseGlobus, a leader in the discount cruise industry, announced the launch of www.cruiseglobus.com, a website devoted to matching cruise consumers with travel agents offering the lowest prices, many at a 50-60% discount.

“This service is free,” said CruiseGlobus founder Mrs. Antoinette Clair. “The company is able to offer the best cruise prices by having travel agents compete for the business of potential clients.”

The website process is simple. Customers complete a form indicating the desired cruise line and preferred sailing date. Within hours of providing this information the customer is contacted via email by several travel professionals with their agency’s best price, allowing for a comparison of quotes.

CruiseGlobus’ benefits are plentiful: the customer is not obligated to accept any of the offers, there is no limit to the number of requests made of the travel agents and it is possible to contact the travel agent directly to book the cruise.

Travel agents affiliated with CruiseGlobus are industry professionals who are able to provide the best rates because they continually receive up-to-date information on cruise fare discounts, promotions and special purchases not found on the Internet. The agents are equally knowledgeable about passenger documents, eligibility and other cruise-related travel services.

“In addition to the booking benefits, our website is a great resource for a variety of cruises to an assortment of around-the-world destinations,” said Mrs. Clair citing that CruiseGlobus currently presents more than 80 ocean and river cruises.

This informative function is complemented by the website’s up-to-date Cruise News section, designed to further assist customers in best matching a cruise to their needs and budget.

“While CruiseGlobus currently offers discounts only in the cruise market, plans are to expand the website’s services to additional areas within the travel industry,” concluded Mrs. Clair.
