Britain’s First Online-Only Cruise Booking Platform Launched

Researching and booking your perfect cruise online is set to be made simple and seamless with the launch of Supercruises

The cruise travel specialist is the UK’s first online-only booking engine, independently working with fourteen of the world’s largest cruise lines to enable consumers to curate and purchase every aspect of their cruise experience online, in a uniquely simple and user-friendly way.

Whether you are a cruising enthusiast or completely new to cruise, Supercruises’ development team has created the most comprehensive and user-friendly booking search engine for the sector.  Holiday makers can browse from 11,000 different global cruise packages, in 30 global regions and covering over 1000 ports. The site includes all the latest deals from leading cruise line operators including P&O Cruises, Norwegian Cruise Line, M&C, Royal Caribbean, Princess, Regent Seven Seas and Cunard Line, among many others.

To help both first time passengers and those looking for a specialist experience, discover their dream cruise, the site’s team of travel booking experts has developed over 50 separate how-to guides to cruising. These cover topics ranging from ‘cruising with the family’ and ‘shore excursions’ to ‘onboard tipping policies’.

With a mission to become the world’s most comprehensive and sophisticated online cruise booking engine that puts travellers back in control, Supercruises boasts over ten separate search filters, more than twice as many as leading competitors. The site’s superior search engine enables users to better select their trip experience, filtering from destinations and preferred cruise operator all the way down to ship size and style of cruise experience.  To make comparing different holiday options easy, Supercruises is the first booking engine able to generate up to four side-by-side comparison views, allowing you to differentiate between package itineraries, cruise vessels, onboard facilities and cabins, alongside the best possible price.

Having found your ideal package and selected your desired options, Supercruises then allows you to purchase your entire experience through its booking engine.  The site does not charge any booking or credit card fees, with all transactions safeguarded through the service’s full membership of ABTA, providing travellers with complete peace of mind. The ‘Manage by Booking’ area of the site then allows you to see all the details of your upcoming cruise trip conveniently in one place.

Alexander Panagopulos, Chairman and Chief Executive of Supercruises, commented: “Cruise is one of the world’s fastest growing and most innovative holiday travel categories. We believe that modern consumers deserve the same ability to research, compare and find the best value cruise experience that they currently enjoy and expect when booking hotels or flights online. With the launch of Supercruises, we have created an independent service designed from scratch to allow both first-timers and cruise enthusiasts to select and book their dream cruise seamlessly and fully online, in just a few clicks.  We are honoured to be working in partnership with the most famous and respected names in cruising to enable more people to experience the joys of cruise and find and book an unforgettable experience, designed just for the them.”

Customer service is one of the pillars of the Supercruises booking experience. While Supercrusies has been designed to allow consumers to discover and book their cruise experience without the need to speak to anybody, the site does offer extensive customer support via web chat and email. For consumers who would prefer to speak to a real person, Supercruises has a dedicated UK customer helpline, to provide technical and after-sales support only.
