Madrid, April 5, 2018 - Pullmantur Cruises – the only cruise line in the market that brings the Spanish lifestyle to the cruise travel experience – and Iberia have reached a collaboration agreement whereby the airline will offer more than 90,000 airline seats between April 23 and October 29, 2018 to bring the cruise line's guests closer to their departure port.
In this way, the Spanish airline will connect Madrid and Barcelona with Athens, Helsinki, Rostock, Trieste and Trondheim, cities where Pullmantur Cruises carries out the embarkation and disembarkation of its 'Greek Islands', 'Baltic Capitals', 'Norwegian Fjords', 'Venetian Rondo' and 'Expedition to the Polar Circle' routes.
Pullmantur Cruises' President & CEO, Richard J. Vogel, highlights several reasons for choosing Iberia as a strategic partner: "We have taken into account their flexibility in responding to the needs we present to them, and without forgetting that it is one of the most prestigious and punctual airlines in the world, which undoubtedly enhances the experience of our passengers."
In this vein, Vogel points out: “One of our priorities is to guarantee our guests a wonderful experience; and this isn't limited to the time they spend on board, it begins long before, even before the ship has set sail.” “Having such renowned partners as Iberia helps us achieve our goal,” adds the President & CEO.
Iberia's Sales Director in Spain, Víctor Moneo, highlights the collaboration with Pullmantur Cruises, "a prestigious brand in this sector, and with whom we are proud to work."
Regarding the upcoming season, Moneo points out that “we are increasingly collaborating with Pullmantur Cruises in more destinations, and this summer we will exceed 90,000 airline seats throughout Europe to serve their cruises, a travel segment that is gaining momentum year after year in our country.”.
Boarding with greater ease
In most of the itineraries where Pullmantur Cruises offers the flight included in its fares, as in the case of those operated by Iberia, it also has a free service that facilitates the boarding of its passengers.
Thus, they check their luggage at the Madrid and Barcelona airports and find it at the door of their cabin, once they have checked in at the port of embarkation, thus contributing to greater comfort.
