FRED. HOLIDAYS DISCOVER NEW CRUISE & STAY BROCHURE DRAWS ON CONSUMER TRENDS & INSIGHTS
As a result of their research into the latest consumer trends and insights, Fred. Holidays Discover has launched a brand new 2024/25 Cruise & Stay brochure spanning an entire range of cruise line partners, worldwide destinations and destination-rich itineraries with extended stays in charming towns and cities as well as immersive tours.
The brochure features 22 hand-crafted and carefully considered cruise and stay itineraries which have been designed to allow customers to make the most of their holiday in a hassle-free way.
Laura Wilson, product and sales manager for Fred. Holidays Discover, comments: “I’m excited about this new brochure which features some fantastic itineraries and provides the trade with a great opportunity to offer their clients a wide choice of exciting and interesting products. Through research, we have found that reason for travel – whether it’s being away for the Christmas period or visiting a destination for a specific event – is a driver for customers, along with anything that makes the trip more bucket list worthy. Whilst we have been monitoring consumer spend and found that entry level price point is factor, the value of the package is most important with longer duration itineraries and upgrades being favoured. We have therefore included more of these in this collection, along with more luxury and expedition cruise line partners, and upgraded cabin types and optional extras such as drinks packages highlighted where applicable.”
