FORT WASHINGTON, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Gate 1 Travel, a leader in international escorted and independent travel packages, today announced 40 new North American and Caribbean independent tour and cruise packages featuring Royal Caribbean International®. Exclusively available at Gate1Travel.com, these packages will feature tours and departures from some of the country’s most desirable destinations including Miami, New Orleans, New York, Orlando, Fla., San Juan, Puerto Rico and Seattle.
“When passengers depart for a cruise, they often spend very little time exploring the port city,” said Marty Seslow, Vice President of Marketing and Sales for Gate 1 Travel. “We wanted to provide our customers with a unique opportunity to relax and explore popular cities in the United States and Puerto Rico before their departure. Spending an evening in a port city also alleviates stress because passengers do not need to worry about missing their embarkation due to flight delays or cancelations. By booking the flights, accommodations and cruise in one package, it also saves customers time and money.”
The new vacation packages with Royal Caribbean International® range in length from five to 14 days, with one to three days spent in the port city. Cruises will visit the Bahamas, Bermuda, Alaska, New England and the Eastern, Western and Southern Caribbean islands, in addition to private islands that are exclusive to Royal Caribbean International® guests. Ships feature rock climbing walls, fitness centers, day spas, adult-only pools, casinos, a Broadway-style theater, kids programs and more. On specific departures from Miami, Gate 1 Travel will send passengers on two of the world’s largest ships, Oasis of the Seas and Allure of the Seas.
Bookings are available now, with departure dates available through 2012. For more information on Gate 1 Travel’s Royal Caribbean International® packages, visit Gate1Travel.com.
