Direct Line Cruises

Checking out luxury cruises? Here’s a bug in your ear: DirectLineCruises.com. This is a fantasic, New York-based, cruise-only travel agency. Direct Line Cruises is booking reservations for the fabulous new Royal Caribbean ultra-luxury cruise ship, the Oasis of the Seas. This new ship is expected to be the queen of the cruises. The Oasis of the Seas looks absolutely amazing, offering unique features such as:

• The “Central Park Neighborhood” with a football-sized town square of greenery, and streets filled dining, entertainment, and street performances.
• A “Royal Promenade” that looks overlooks the space below, filled with shops and a Rising Tide Bar.
• A “Boardwalk” featuring an AquaTheater and Carousel at Sea (the first of its kind), with amusements, games, and attractions.

The Royal Caribbean Oasis of the Seas cruise is a seven-night Eastern and Western Caribbean cruise set to depart from Fort Lauderdale, Florida in December 2009. This new cruise ship will be the largest of her kind when she sails on her maiden voyage. It looks quite glamorous- there are images at the site– and yet you can get some outstanding reservations at Direct Line Cruises! See the site for more detail.

The award-winning Direct Line Cruises is located in Long Island, New York, and sells cruise tickets at great rates for some of the largest lines in the cruises industry.

Cruisin’ For a Cruisin’

Well, the holidays are practically over, and it’s time to address the next big thing: escaping the winter! Ha! I like winter and I like the snow (and don’t mind the cold weather, either), but by the end of January, winter’s enchantments are mighty old. Most of New York’s snowbirds take off for literally greener and sunnier pastures about this time.

This is a popular time for Royal Caribbean cruises, especially Bermuda cruises and luscious Caribbean cruises. Direct Line Cruises, the most popular cruise-line agency, is having a terrific deal for those of you who are wishing for warmer temperatures and sunny days. It’s a special treat for us in the Northeast, as the departure port for the Royal Caribbean Explorer of the Seas is in Bayonne, New Jersey. This looks very nice– a 9-night Bermuda cruise (round trip from Bayonne, New Jersey), sailing year-round in 2009, fares starting at just $899 a person.  The price is really right. There’s another deal that begins in April and runs through November 2009: 5-nights in Bermuda, round trip, starting fares at $599. I know I have many readers who enjoy cruises, so you may want to check out more deals at DirectLineCruises.com.

Direct Line Cruises has been in business since 1995. It’s a really neat story of how the company got started– a Long Island housewife took a cruise and fell in love with the experience. She started a small business making cruise reservations with various cruise lines. She became so good at it that her company became known as one of the best for customer service and low rates. Direct Line Cruises is based in Hauppauge, NY, and handles over 25,000 cruise reservations every year, They promise low rates, great service, no sales pressure, no service fees, and free travel insurance. I hope to go on a cruise sometime, and when I do, I’m looking up Direct Line Cruises. Check out the company and the great rates, call 1-800-352-8088 or see DirectLineCruises.com. And here’s hoping your little winter escape is the best yet!
