Voyages to Antiquity, the cruise industry’s premier specialty enrichment cruise brand, introduces an enticingly low single supplement of 10% on three itineraries if booked by February 28, 2013.
“Demand among single travelers has been so strong that we’ve increased the number of dedicated single cabins to 26, which represents 12 percent of the ship’s total inventory, and offer cabins in a variety of categories from inside to deluxe outside with balcony,” said Voyages to Antiquity’s Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Jim Applebaum. “Single travel is one of the fastest growing segments in the travel industry, especially in the case of destination travel brands where the demographic is generally the mature market.”
