Travel Village Group makes cruise site bookable in bid to capture ‘half of the market’

Group chief executive Phil Nuttall told TTG the “open all hours” Southampton Cruise Centre site would enable customers to book cruises released in the early hours of the morning and during peak periods.

P&O Cruises, Princess Cruises, Cunard, Celebrity Cruises, Royal Caribbean International, MSC Cruises, Norwegian Cruise Line, Oceania Cruises and Regent Seven Seas Cruises have all added their products to the site, with more waiting to join the venture according to TVG.

“This has been a project we have been working on for several months to ensure our family business remains relevant to our current guests and to those we are looking to attract to our brand,” said Nuttall.

“With more people comfortable transacting higher-value products online, we simply have to be in this arena. The cruise lines are telling me that I am missing half the market."
