Complete Cruise issues early booking incentives
Complete Cruise Solution has launched £12 million-worth of incentives to encourage early booking for 2008 holidays.
The company, which comprises P&O Cruises, Princess Cruises, Ocean Village and Cunard, is running a sales campaign from now until the end of February.
Director of sales Giles Hawke said: “The post-Christmas period is a peak holiday booking time for the British holidaymaker so we have some fantastic incentives to entice passengers to book early.
“With two new ships on offer next year, Cunard’s elegant and stylish Queen Victoria and from P&O Cruises the family friendly Ventura in April 2008, there is even more variety for people to choose from.
“We want to make sure that holidaymakers know what great offers are available to them at this time of year so they get the best choice of cruises at the best possible price.”
The company is offering savings of up to 45% on Cunard’s Queen Victoria’s inaugural season and ‘kids go free’ on selected voyages.
P&O Cruises is offering savings of up to £260 per cabin on board credit on all cruises over seven nights featured in third edition 2008 brochure and up to £750 per cabin on board credit on selected cruises in the Worldwide Exotic holidays 2009 brochure.
Ocean Village is offering savings of up to 50% on Mediterranean cruises, with prices from £545 per person.
