 * Overview

Since its humble beginning in 1995, Direct Line Cruises has grown to become one
of the largest official agencies for the cruise industry. Amazingly, it started
as a home-based part-time job (actually, more of a "hobby") for a Long Island
housewife who simply "fell in love" with cruising after she tried it for the
first time. Then, with no previous experience (and a budget of only a few
hundred dollars), she created a business that has developed into one of the most
spectacular "overnight" success stories in the history of the travel industry.

From its corporate headquarters in Hauppauge, NY, Direct Line Cruises now
handles reservations for more than 30,000 cruise passengers throughout the
United States...and the number is rapidly increasing every year. But no matter
how big it gets, the dedicated staff at Direct Line Cruises continues to treat
every client (and future client) as a valued friend by offering honest, reliable
service and top-quality cruise vacations at incredibly low rates.

Want 10 Good Reasons To Book Your Cruise Through Direct Line Cruises?

1. Expert Staff - As an exclusive agency for the cruise industry, Direct Line
Cruises ("DLC") carefully selects and trains its staff in every important detail
about all of the major cruise lines. Their toll-free reservations line (1-800
DLC-8088) is available to answer all of your questions, provide rate quotes and
send out brochures immediately upon your request.

2. No Commissions or "Sales Pressure"- The staff at Direct Line Cruises doesn't
work on commission so you save money and they always have YOUR best interest in
mind. There's never any "sales pressure" or unwanted follow-up calls. In fact,
they won't even take your phone number unless you ask them to call.

3. Low Rates - Direct Line Cruises buys large "blocks" of cabins from several
major cruise lines. By pre-purchasing cabins far in advance of the sailing
dates, they "lock-in" the cruise line's "early booking" discounts and they get
group pricing concessions (which are passed on to you even if you are only
booking one cabin). In fact, the rates from DLC are often 40% to 60% lower than
the cruise line's brochure rates (and you always get the best rate right
up-front with no unpleasant "haggling"). So, here's some friendly advice: "You
can shop 'til you drop, but you'll still never top, the great rate you got from
Direct Line Cruises".

4. Best Stateroom Selection - You can choose any cabin from DLC's exclusive
inventory. Because they pre-purchase cabins long before the sailing date, Direct
Line Cruises typically offers the best selection of standard and deluxe
staterooms on each ship.

5. No Service Fees - Unlike many travel agencies, Direct Line Cruises never
charges a service fee for helping you make your cruise reservation. So, the rate
you are quoted is the rate you pay. There are never any unrequested "add-ons".

6. Cash Rebate for 8 Or More Cabins - Planning a cruise for a group of friends
or family? Get a cash rebate for the full fare of one person (excluding port
charges / taxes) for every 8 cabins booked. NOTE: Some restrictions may apply
for Carnival Cruises. Call for details.

7. Cost Effective Travel Insurance - Through Travel Insured International,
Direct Line Cruises provides cost-effective optional travel protection to all
our our clients. This optional plan provides coverage for travel delay, missed
connections, trip interruption, lost baggage, accident & sickness medical
expense and more. 

8. Direct Payment Processing By the Cruise Line - New clients are sometimes a
bit skeptical about Direct Line Cruises because their rates are so low when
compared to local "walk-in" travel agencies. So, to eliminate any possible
concern, DLC has arranged to have all of its client reservation deposits
processed directly by the cruise line. If you pay by credit card, you will
receive a form on which you authorize the cruise line (not Direct Line Cruises)
to charge your credit card for your initial deposit (usually $200 - $300 per
person). If you pay by bank check or money order, you make it payable to the
cruise line (not Direct Line Cruises). Within a few days after booking your
cruise, you will receive written confirmation providing full details of your
reservation and deposit payment. If there are ever any discrepancies, they are
immediately resolved.

9. Loyalty Savings - Earn points for every cruise you book through Direct Line
Cruises. Points can be redeemed for future cruises towards valuable bonus offers
such as FREE onboard credits, gift shop purchases, specialty dining, spa
sessions and more.

10. Special Promotions - As a valued client of Direct Line Cruises, you will
receive "inside information" about special cruise promotions that are not
advertised to the general public. You won't believe some of these deals!
