Business Wire, July 7, 2008

With Cruises Offering Savings Through Home Port Departures and Insulation from the Weak Dollar, Travelocity Launches Biggest Discounts of Summer

SOUTHLAKE, Texas -- Travelocity:

What: Despite higher air fares, new fees and elevated gas prices, recent Travelocity data shows most consumers are still committed to taking their annual vacations IF they can reduce costs. Travelocity's "Cruise Bonus Days" sale arrived just in time for hungry consumers desperate for discounts.

Why: A growing number of travelers can actually cruise close to home due to the significant expansion in the last few years of U.S. port locations. Already proving to be one of the best bargains in travel due to its unique all-inclusive design, home port cruising allows you to actually eliminate the cost of a flight as well. For more information on pricing and cruising close to home, visit www.travelocity.com/homeportcruises. Adding to that value, one of Travelocity's biggest cruise sales of the year, "Cruise Bonus Days" happening from June 20 - July 31, 2008, includes limited-time special offers on all cruise lines and destinations (www.travelocity.com/cruisebonusdays).
