Initially, PriceTravel established an alliance with Royal Caribbean International, who recently announced plans to expand in Mexico’s cruise market. As a result of this partnership, PriceTravel has become the only online travel agency in Latinamerica that allows customers to book all routes offered by Royal Caribbean, Celebrity Cruises and Azamara Cruises Club cruise lines directly from its website. PriceTravel plans to offer all major cruise lines, as well as cruise packages including the hotel + flight portion of the trip by the end of 2012.

"Royal Caribbean guarantees PriceTravel customers the best vacation aboard the spectacular ships of Royal Caribbean, Celebrity Cruises and Azamara Club Cruises. This partnership will provide our mutual customers with a comprehensive service, featuring the professionalism and quality that both companies are known for."
