Luggage Service Launched To Carry Bags For Cruise Passengers

A new luggage service has been launched offering cruise passengers a hassle-free way of transporting their luggage to a cruise ship.

The service, launched by door-to-door delivery specialist Luggage Forward, allows cruise passengers to have their luggage picked up and delivered to the cruise ship for a one-off fee.

Implementing a state of the art logistics interface as well as predictive tracking technology, Luggage Forward claim they can deliver luggage to over 40 different cruise lines at 170 ports around the world.

Luggage Forward currently operates a global luggage shipping service for airfare passengers. The door-to-door transportation service is available in over two hundred countries around the world, and offers a luxurious, stress-free way for passengers to travel.

Aaron Kirley, co-founder of Luggage Forward, said: “For more than 10 years, we have been enabling travellers to save time and hassles at the airport. For cruise passengers, we provide additional value by eliminating the need to carry bags between the airport and their cruise”.

For cruise passengers, the new home to ship luggage system offers an easy and convenient way to transport luggage, and is sure to be popular with those flying to their cruise ship as well as those carrying large amounts of baggage.

Kirley claims that Luggage Forward’s new cruise luggage shipping system will not only help passengers but the cruise lines themselves, too: “We’ve been able to provide our partner cruise lines with a new revenue stream, both pre-cruise and onboard, while reducing overhead required to handle luggage shipping requests.”
