Travelocity Kicks off 2011 Wave Season with Big Savings During 12th Annual Cruise Super Sale

Travelocity Enhances the Value of Cruise Vacations by Offering More than Just Major Discounts

SOUTHLAKE, Texas--()--The New Year’s festivities may be over, but Travelocity® (http://www.travelocity.com) is giving travelers a reason to continue celebrating. Just in time for the 2011 “wave season,” the Travelocity Cruise Super Sale kicks off this week, offering travelers up to 65 percent off cruise vacations, and up to $500* in onboard credits. These savings can be found on most cruise vacations to exciting destinations from the Caribbean and Bahamas to South America, Europe and Asia. Along with the markdowns, cruisers can get additional perks, such as free stateroom upgrades, onboard credits and more, from cruise lines participating in the popular sale.

Travelocity customers already save an average of $1,000 or more by taking a cruise versus a land vacation, and the Cruise Super Sale brings further opportunities to save. Travelocity’s Cruise Super Sale exclusive bonus offer, made in conjunction with American Express®, can mean hundreds of dollars in additional savings alone. Customers who book a qualifying cruise with their American Express Card by February 10, 2011, for sailings departing between March 1, 2011, and August 31, 2011, receive onboard credits for up to $500*, based on the length of the cruise and stateroom purchased. Travelers who book during the Cruise Super Sale will also receive a 15 percent discount on shore excursions through Port Promotions.

$750 - $1,499.99   $50
$1,500 - $2,999.99   $100
$3,000 - $5,999.99   $200
$6,000 - $7,499.99   $400
$7,500+   $500

*Offers are per stateroom, not per person and include all destinations and cruise lines with the exception of Disney Cruise Lines. For more information on these exclusive offers including a list of qualifying sailings and to book a cruise with your American Express® card, log onto www.travelocity.com/cruisesupersale.

“Cruise vacations are always a great value, and there’s no better way to display that than launching the Cruise Super Sale,” said Matt Lee, Vice President of Travelocity’s Cruises. “In addition to the exclusive sale offer, customers can also find special offers from cruise lines, such as onboard credits or upgrades that will help make their trip one they won’t soon forget.”

The Cruise Super Sale is also backed by Travelocity’s Low Price Guarantee on cruises, which promises to refund the difference between the price paid on Travelocity and any qualifying lower rate found within 24 hours of purchase for the same date, ship, and cabin category. See www.travelocity.com/guarantee for complete terms and conditions of the Low Price Guarantee.
