CruiseCompare Launch Flash Sale

CruiseCompare the UK’s first cruise comparison engine has now launched a new “CRUISE FLASH SALE” section similar to that of Groupon, where discounts will only be available for a limited period of 7 days.

Each week, the site will offer its member’s discounts of up to 50% off luxury short & long cruises to destinations including the Mediterranean & Caribbean from many of the leading cruise

CruiseCompare has quickly established itself as the savvy tool for saving money.

The North East based company was founded in early 2011, by Tom Fotheringham the former digital marketing Expert for DFDS Seaways.

The Jeremie VC fund backed business has now attracted 400,000 active users to its website since being founded at the start of the year.

Managing director Danielle Fear said: “Our funding is supporting major new website features in 2011 like the flash sale, which will support our desire to become the market leader in this space.”

“Consumer response to the site has been phenomenal and we have now gained a strong email base & over 45,000 Facebook fans in a short time which has helped firmly establish ourselves in the marketplace.

“Cruise consumers now have a different mindset. They want luxury goods and experiences but they want the best deals! Our model taps into the late booking trend, which enables cruise lines to offer cruise departures behind the rate of sale, or ensure they have a strong forward booking for 2012.”

A lot of other travel brands charge for exposure but we only get paid on results so it’s completely risk free. The offers are hand picked to ensure they are exclusive within the marketplace.

For the launch we have teamed up with leading travel newsletter cheapflights to ensure we reach millions of younger & first time cruisers.

CruiseCompare does not directly sell cruise holidays but does publish prices and deals online from numerous cruise brands and travel operators.

Apart from daily publishing over 10,000 cruise deals for comparison by consumers each day, CruiseCompare also includes additional travel information for consumers on cruise news, cruise ship facts & destination guides.
