MIAMI LAKES, Fla. -- GoCruiseDirect.com, which offers Web-based
cruise-booking tools, and Passport Online, a provider of cruise and
booking content for agency Web sites, announced a partnership that
will give Internet cruise-booking functionality to agencies and
consumers using PassPort Online's VacationPort shopping program.
VacationPort users include some 5,000 travel agencies,
corporations and association Web sites.
Consumers who access the sites today can review information but
must notify an agent electronically if they want to book a
cruise.
The partnership will give agents and consumers using agent sites
the ability to book VacationPort's cruise promotions in real time.
The integration of the products is scheduled to be completed in two
to three months.
