Walmart & Carnival Guarantee Low Fares
Miami Travel News ( Press Release )
Travelers shopping for an adventurous, romantic or relaxing vacation at guaranteed
lowest fares on any of the
World's Leading Cruise Lines can visit Walmart.com and start packing their
bags.
Walmart.com, a unit of Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., and Carnival Corporation
(NYSE: CCL), the world's largest cruise operator, have entered into an
exclusive marketing and sales agreement to provide dream cruises at every
day low prices - prices so low, in fact, that customers will be refunded the
difference if they find a better deal on an identical cruise vacation within
14 days of booking. Carnival Corporation owns all six of the cruise
companies that compose the World's Leading Cruise Lines' membership.
Customers can now choose from extraordinary specials on the World's Leading
Cruise Lines - Carnival Cruise Lines, Costa Cruises, Cunard Line, Holland
America Line, The Yachts of Seabourn, and Windstar Cruises - by logging onto
Walmart.com. There, they'll see specials ranging from a three-day Bahamas
getaway for $247 to a seven-day Mediterranean romance package for $3,749.
They can book the package by calling 1-800-288-6030. In addition to
advertised specials on Walmart.com, customers have a world of choices with
any ship, itinerary and departure date offered by the six cruise lines by
calling the toll-free number.
Carnival, Holland America, Windstar, Costa, Cunard and Seabourn are
providing the extraordinary cruise specials, many of which feature
promotional pricing, discounts and value-added features like cabin upgrades.
Wal-Mart Vacations, a unit of Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., is lending its
travel-service experience and resources to the agreement. Wal-Mart
Vacations operates travel agencies in six states.
"The world's leading retailer is teaming up with the World's Leading Cruise
Lines to provide every day low prices on hundreds of dream cruise
vacations," said Duane Futch, director of global travel services for
Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. "These vacation packages are delivering the quality
and savings that Wal-Mart and Walmart.com customers have come to expect.
There are no membership fees, service charges or hidden costs - just great
value for our customers."
"Carnival, Holland America, Windstar, Costa, Cunard, and Seabourn are the
leaders in cruising," said Jack Anderson, executive director for the World's
Leading Cruise Lines. "We are very excited to be the exclusive cruise
vacation partners for Walmart.com. Our organizations share a commitment to
quality, value, innovation and customer service. As the cruise industry
continues its rapid expansion, one of our biggest challenges has been to
develop the retail support needed to market and sell these fantastic
vacations. This new relationship provides us with the ability to put our
wide range of vacation products in front of millions of potential new
customers with a company that has a proven track record in the retail sales
arena."
"Through Walmart.com, millions of new customers will be able to take
advantage of great values provided by Wal-Mart Vacations and the World's
Leading Cruise Lines," said Futch. "Just as we are lowering the cost of
living through our stores, clubs and online services, we are making it more
affordable for all Americans to enjoy excellent vacations."
Each member of the World's Leading Cruise Lines excels in a particular style
of cruise vacationing: the contemporary sparkle of a Carnival "Fun Ship,"
the five-star sophistication of Holland America Line, the classic British
tradition of Cunard Line, indulgent intimacy and luxury with the Yachts of
Seabourn, the casual elegance of Windstar Cruises, and the Italian charm of
Costa Cruises -- individual styles, individual ships, sailing with a shared
passion to please each guest. The six leading cruise lines offer all of the
best: 458 destinations, 87 countries and seven continents.
