CRUISE PLANNERS CELEBRATES ‘WORLD’S LARGEST CRUISE EVENT’

WITH SPECIAL CRUISE OFFERS ALL WEEK LONG

Brooklyn, NY – (September 16, 2008) –

It’s the best time of the year to get the best deals on cruise vacations because October is National Cruise Vacation month. And The World’s Largest Cruise Event, October 4-10, 2008, is fast approaching. Kenneth Chow, ACC (Accredited Cruise Counsellor) and an expert Cruise Planners travel professional, is celebrating by offering clients incredible values and incentives on cruise travel to the world’s top destinations.

The World’s Largest Cruise Event is a celebration where lucky agents like me get to give the gift of great savings on cruises, and our clients are the guests of honor,” said Chow. “Best of all, Cruise Planners is extending what is traditionally one special night into an entire week of offers and incentives, so the gifts will keep coming from October 4th to the 10th.”

And by gifts we mean a prize-a-day giveaway that has been incorporated into this year’s cruise event week. Whereby Chow’s clients can enter a daily contest for fabulous prizes and ultimately be entered into the week end grand prize of a free cruise. When you combine this kind of prize giveaway with the type of exclusive promotions and great pricing Cruise Planners can offer as a high-volume cruise retailer, it’s easy to see why the World’s Largest Cruise Event is the prime sales event of the year.

Organized by Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA), North America’s largest cruise industry organization, The World’s Largest Cruise Night encompasses the entire cruise industry, as top cruise lines join with travel agents across the country to offer unbelievable prices. It also aims to help raise awareness of the fastest growing and most adventurous form of traveling—cruising.
