Today marks the launch of our new Gift Certificate Program! (*sound of people cheering*)

Our new Gift Certificate Program enables you to give the gift of a cruise, or cruise related amenity, to your uncle for his birthday, your sister for her wedding, your wife for your anniversary or anybody else who you know would enjoy The Cruise Web Gift Certificate.

Our Gift Certificates are available in any denomination and can be used by anyone for anything cruise related.  From spa treatments, to shore excursions to a free cruise compliments of you, The Cruise Web Gift Certificate gives you the flexibility of offering that special someone (or someones) a wide variety of gifts that they will surely be able to use and enjoy on their next cruise.

For more information about our new Gift Certificate Program, call one of our knowledgeable Cruise Consultants today!

Here at The Cruise Web, we understand that our company is only as good as the effort put forth by our employees. 

To show our appreciation for our employees, we hold an annual anniversary drawing where each employee gets a chance to win a free 7-day cruise for two.  

Each employee receives one entry into the drawing for each year they’ve been on the team.  Last week’s big winner was Warren Turner, a Cruise Consultant that has been with us for four years and counting. Now, Warren gets his pick of a fabulous 7-day cruise for two to take at his leisure.  Though reports have not been confirmed, the rumor is that Warren is thinking of some place warm and sunny.

In an industry first, Crystal Cruises is offering just six intrepid holiday travelers a new two-day excursion to the windiest, coldest and least populated continent on the planet.

In below freezing temperatures, the brand new rugged and rare overland excursion will take Crystal guests to King George Island, Antarctica.  Brave adventurers will trek through remote villages and a petrified arctic forest once covered by glaciers, to scientific research bases, and to the breeding and stomping grounds of three species of penguin, elephant seals and fur seals.  Available with Crystal Symphony’s 19-day Christmas/New Year cruise departing December 20 from Buenos Aires, the “Extreme Overnight Adventure in Antarctica” is limited to only six guests.  Among other destinations, the voyage features three days cruising Antarctica en route to Valparaiso, Chile.  [Read more →]

Our Sales manager Michael Harris has long impressed his coworkers with his prowess at extraordinary eating.  Whether it’s polishing off an entire basket of the hottest wings Buffalo Wild Wings has to offer or being a member of the Cruise Web lunch group “The Meat Heads”, Michael is always pushing his own gastrointestinal boundaries.

But this past Saturday at the Anne Arundel County Fair, Michael put his reputation on the line.  As seen in this video captured by his biggest fan and wife, Michael (wearing the white shirt and black hat) clearly dusts the competition.  As you can see Michael devours a quarter watermelon in under a minute.

As rules require, he accomplishes that feat, using only his mouth.  For his efforts Michael takes home not only the title of Anne Arundel County Watermelon Eating Champion, but also a trophy and a series of ribbons declaring his championship.

Congratulations Michael!  You’ve made The Cruise Web proud!
