PriceTravel
establishes itself as a pioneer in the cruise travel industry,
reinforcing the company’s leadership and innovation within the
tourism industry.
MEXICO,
D.F., (May 8, 2012) -- PriceTravel,
Mexico’s most innovative online and wholesale travel agency, today
becomes the first agency in Latin America to offer cruise travel
directly through its website and more than 100 retail travel kiosks
located in major shopping centers and department stores throughout
Mexico. The addition of cruise travel is part of PriceTravel’s
continued growth plans and conquest of the Latin American market,
including the company’s recent entry into Colombia.
Initially,
PriceTravel established an alliance with Royal Caribbean
International, who recently announced plans to expand in Mexico’s
cruise market. As a result of this partnership, PriceTravel has
become the only online travel agency in Latinamerica that allows
customers to book all routes offered by Royal Caribbean, Celebrity
Cruises and Azamara Cruises Club cruise lines directly from its
website. PriceTravel plans to offer all major cruise lines, as well
as cruise packages including the hotel + flight portion of the trip
by the end of 2012.
"Our
venture into selling cruise travel is the result of a long evaluation
and preparation process. We work closely with cruise lines and
understand that although currently viewed as a premium product in
Mexico, there are many opportunities for growth in the market’s
cruise segment. We are confident that we have the formula to
reposition the product and reach a wider range of customers who
perhaps previously viewed cruise travel as an unaffordable luxury.
Providing detailed descriptions and content, and easing the
purchasing and payment process is essential to change our customers’
and the travel industry’s current perception,” said Oliver
Reinhart, CEO of PriceTravel.
One
of the many advantages for PriceTravel customers in Mexico is that
the cruise offerings are available through an innovative reservation
system developed especially by PriceTravel, which allows customers to
compare cruise line offers, routes and prices; book up to four cabins
per transaction; and have access to information and images with the
ease that characterizes PriceTravel, all in real time.
“There
are many advantages of booking cruise travel through PriceTravel.
Aside from ease of use, having access to the personal service of
PriceTravel’s 500 travel professionals is especially important for
those who have never traveled by cruise. The wide variety of payment
options we have for all of our products - including cash; debit and
credit cards with up to 12 interest-free months; and layaway - make a
difference for our customers,” added Diego Del Vecchio, Marketing
Director of PriceTravel.
"Through
this partnership, both Royal Caribbean and PriceTravel will offer
Mexican travelers a quick and easy option to purchase cruise travel
online," added Jose Ceciliano, Director of Sales for Royal
Caribbean Mexico. "Royal Caribbean guarantees PriceTravel
customers the best vacation aboard the spectacular ships of Royal
Caribbean, Celebrity Cruises and Azamara Club Cruises. This
partnership will provide our mutual customers with a comprehensive
service, featuring the professionalism and quality that both
companies are known for."
