CRUISEONE LAUNCHES NEW CONSUMER WEBSITE

Redesigned Site – www.CruiseOne.com – Provides Travelers with Easy-To-Navigate Content, a Convenient Agent Finder and Timely Cruise Deals

Fort Lauderdale, Fla. – September 13, 2010 – The nation’s leading cruise travel retailer, CruiseOne, today announced the re-launch of their consumer website. The site, www.CruiseOne.com, provides interested vacationers all the online tools they need to make booking a cruise as easy as ever. The web page redesign impacts the main brand consumer pages, as well as the customized websites for the network’s 1,100+ agents.

Brand new features now part of the consumer-facing websites for all CruiseOne Franchise Owners include:

• Modified colors and designs adding a modern, contemporary feel, as well as more space within each page to eliminate the need to click through multiple pages to locate cruise agents, news and offers.
• A dynamic content section which includes a Featured Cruise Line, Featured Cruise Ship, and Featured Destination , unique to each agent’s site. The combination of these three sections will change on a seven-day rotation, allowing search engines to rank each agent’s site as unique from other CruiseOne sites.
• A virtual business card that includes the agent’s photo, location, phone number, and links to their social networking sites.
• A greater focus on providing consumers with rich video content.
• Added sharing capabilities throughout the website, allowing consumers to share content with friends and family via email, Facebook, text message, Twitter, Google Buzz and more than 50 other social media and social bookmarking sites.

“The redesign of www.CruiseOne.com will not only help potential cruisers learn more about a cruise vacation, but will also enhance the ability to find a travel agent that matches up with their needs, resulting in more sales for our agents and a more satisfied customer overall,” said Dwain Wall, senior vice president & general manager of CruiseOne.

In addition to the main consumer websites and customized agent websites, the companies have also re-launched their niche sites, SeaLuxe.com, Sealuxury.com, CompanyCruises.com and MemberCruises.com.
