Pullmantur Cruises presents its new catalog for the 2018 season with important new features such as the launch of Expedition to the Arctic Circle and Secret Corners of the Mediterranean, two exclusive itineraries aimed mainly at the Spanish market.
Its business card includes the following elements: more than twenty routes operated across four seas, combining exclusive and new itineraries with others that are closely linked to the shipping company; a fresh and innovative design, where images play a leading role, which seeks to reflect the spirit and soul of the company as well as captivate the future passenger even before boarding; and a change in the way fares are published: they will now include taxes and other charges, simplifying the calculation process for the travel agent.
Furthermore, the catalog reviews the main attributes of the shipping company that make it a genuine option, including its Spanish character and its all-inclusive service, which goes beyond offering passengers drinks and food, as it provides them with gourmet cuisine designed exclusively for the company by the prestigious chef Paco Roncero; unlimited drinks throughout the day; a wide variety of activities for all passengers, regardless of age; a crew that takes care of every detail; and even flight and baggage service on some routes.
Richard J. Vogel, President & CEO of Pullmantur Cruises, states: “We wanted to take a step forward in how we communicate our offerings and new features: it is now much more appealing and highlights who we are and what guests will find on board.” Regarding the 2018 offering, Vogel points out that “we are convinced that the combination of a variety of destinations, quality, our all-inclusive package, and the fact that we are the only cruise line with a 100% Spanish product results in a very attractive proposition that perfectly matches the tastes of Spanish guests.” He adds: “Following the path we began in 2016-2017, we will once again operate Canary Islands cruises in winter, another example of Pullmantur Cruises’ commitment to Spain, which is our main market and to which we dedicate ourselves season after season to offer an even better experience.”.
