In the Competitive World of Cruise Vacations; One Company Gives Valuable Travel Insurance to Every Customer at No Additional Charge; the Perk Is Making a Difference in the Number of Bookings, and Giving Travelers a Greater Sense of Security

DANBURY, CT -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 10/11/2005 -- Worry-free travel is now available on any cruise ship courtesy of http://www.eCruises.com, now offering travelers free insurance protection.

"We do not want anything to stop people from enjoying the cruise vacation of a lifetime, so we decided to give away free travel insurance to all our customers," explained Sy Ripka of eCruises.com.

The protection comes in the form of a genuine insurance policy issued by iTravelInsured (iTI). Passengers are covered for cruise interruption and cancellation, emergency medical and dental expenses, emergency medical evacuation, travel delay, and baggage delays and losses. Coverage begins the moment they go out the door of their home until the moment they return.

"This is the best travel protection insurance you can get, and we give it to you at no extra charge when you book your cruise from eCruises.com," said Ripka.

There is no question of the genuine value of this travel perk. On average, for a $1,000-cruise, the cost of cruise insurance provided free by eCruises.com would cost travelers buying it on their own $110 per person. The benefits are generous. eCruises.com offers up to $20,000 per person for emergency medical evacuation, up to $1,000 per person for lost baggage, and up to $10,000 for emergency medical or dental expenses.

Travelers do not like surprises, and with eCruises.com they do not get any. The price quoted for the cruise includes everything. Unlike other companies that quote a low price for the cruise and then add on the port charges (NCFs) and government taxes and fees, the price quoted by eCruises.com includes those fees, plus the complimentary travel insurance. Cruisers can hear or see minute-by-minute real time pricing and details on over 10,000 sailings from now until mid 2006, by calling 800-223-6868 or by visiting http://www.ecruises.com.
