“As part of this promotion and in response to agents’ requests, Travel Bound has just issued its 2010 pre-/post-cruise brochure that includes new 3-, 4- and 5-star hotels and 31 new sightseeing tours, as well as 11 recently renovated properties,” says a press release.

“Travel Bound has negotiated affordable rates at a total of 77 hotels in the featured 15 cities, starting at US$43 (with some stipulations) per person per night for a 3-star hotel, US$56 for a 4-star and $81 for a 5-star,” the site says.

Free night offers are available at 23 of the featured hotels, providing an additional 20-33 percent discount.

Two-night land packages in 10 cruise cities start at US$148 per person per night, and include daily breakfast, private roundtrip transfers between airport or port and hotel, plus all hotel service charges and taxes.

Agents earn 15 percent on any Travel Bound package booked at any time.
