Worldspan Introduces New Cruise Booking Solution

Worldspan introduced Worldspan Cruise, a new Web-based booking solution providing real-time access to cruise line information and complete reservations capabilities.

Launch participants in Worldspan Cruise are Carnival, Costa, Holland America and Windstar. Other lines will be added throughout 2004. Available via the Worldspan Go! Resource Center, the new booking solution puts more information and stronger functionality at the agent´s fingertips, including pricing, negotiated rates, cruise itinerary, cabin and deck plans, port and itinerary information, posting of payments and automated PNR creation.

With Worldspan Cruise, agents can use more powerful search options and will soon have an advanced user mode for easy one-step selling, without having to call the cruise line. To implement Worldspan Cruise, Worldspan has partnered with icruise.com, whose Intellicruise® booking technology features both real time booking capability and a user-friendly interface.
