LOS ALTOS, CA--(Marketwire - Mar 27, 2012) - TripInsurance.com (www.tripinsurance.com), the most trusted online resource to help travelers find the travel insurance coverage they need at savings of 40% or more, has signed a new sponsorship agreement with Cruise Radio (www.cruiseradio.net), the Internet radio resource for cruise travelers. With this new sponsorship agreement, TripInsurance.com will now be able to reach more than 125,000 listeners and readers each week who have a special interest in vacation cruising. In addition to reaching Web listeners, Cruise Radio is distributed to passengers aboard Royal Caribbean, Holland America, Celebrity Cruise Lines, Norwegian Cruise Lines, Carnival Cruise Lines, and other global cruise carriers.
Cruise Radio caters to the interests of cruise passengers of all ages. More than 15 million passengers booked North American cruises last year, and 33.7 million Americans say they intend to take a cruise sometime in the next three years. Cruise Radio was created to provide these travelers with the latest news and updates on the world of vacation cruising, including cruise planning and special travel packages. By sponsoring Cruise Radio, TripInsurance will be able to reach cruise travelers as they plan their next vacation trip, offering special insurance offers and packages custom-designed to suit the needs of cruising enthusiasts.
"Cruise travel continues to grow in popularity, but even a journey with the best cruise line has calculated risks. You can become ill or miss a connection on a stopover; there are dozens of things that could happen to ruin your cruise," said Dan Skilken, President and CEO of TripInsurance.com. "That's why experienced cruise travelers take out travel medical policies, trip interruption, cancellation insurance, and other types of coverage. Cruise Radio is the perfect channel to reach our customers."
"We are delighted to add TripInsurance.com to the Cruise Radio family," said Doug Parker, Host and Creator of Cruise Radio. "Our listeners are very sophisticated when it comes to travel-related issues. Many of them travel extensively both for pleasure and business, and they understand what could go wrong on their next cruise and what is likely to go wrong. After high-profile events like the Costa Concordia, I am sure that more of our listeners will want to learn more about TripInsurance.com."
