Cruiseabout to Host Inaugural Cruise Expo in Tauranga

Thousands of Kiwis are now opting for holidays at sea and to meet this demand, Cruiseabout, New Zealand’s dedicated cruise retailer, will be holding an inaugural Cruise Expo in Tauranga on Sunday, 25 March 2012.

Cruiseabout leader, Jessica Allan, said as Kiwis demand for cruising continues to soar, holding a dedicated Cruise Expo is the next step to bring cruise options together under one roof.

“Cruising has become one of the most popular and affordable ways to travel. Cruiseabout Tauranga is the only dedicated cruise specialist in Tauranga and the number of cruise bookings has almost doubled in February 2012 compared to the same month of the previous year.

The team at Cruiseabout Tauranga has noticed there has been interest in a wide range of destinations, particularly the Mediterranean as Kiwis love to escape to Europe.

“With a large amount of competition and a wide variety of cruises now available, cruising has become one of the most popular and affordable ways to travel. There is something to suit everyone’s budget. Cruise Expo is the perfect place to talk to the cruise specialists and grab exclusive deals available on the day.”

The Cruise Expo will be held at Sebel Trinity Wharf and will have over 70 cruise lines represented on the day, informative travel presentations and expert advice from the cruise specialists.
