Southwest Airlines is now offering customers the ability to book a cruise on Southwest.com. The airline began its new program at the end of March. Passengers can chose between these cruise lines: Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, WIndstar, Holland America, Norwegian Princess, Radisson, Disney and Crystal. “Southwest serves many of the nation’s busiest port cities and we wanted to give our customers the added convenience of booking a cruise while on southwest.com,” said Kevin Kone, Southwest vice president of interactive marketing. He added customers will have access to many discounted cruises. The Dallas-based Southwest services 59 airports in 58 cities in 30 states. –Report by David Wilkening–
