Good news for geeks who love to spend their holidays onboard a large liner heading off into the sunset – you can now find real-time information on an iPad app. Cruise travel retailer iCruise.com have announced today the launch of Cruise Finder (TM) a brand new iPad app which basically will provide the user with real-time pricing and booking functionality. This is largely the same functionality that is on offer at the company’s website (www.iCruise.com).

Easy retrieval of cruise data

Assuming you are the proud owner of an iPad, you are able to access up to 30 cruise lines, 250 cruise ships and 12,000 itineraries. This is all accessible through multiple, easy-to-use calendars and options. The developers were involved with creating more than 20,000 high resolution route maps and images showcasing destinations, key onboard rooms and interactive resizable deck plans. I decided to test this out by selecting an Alaska cruise provided by my employers, and was greatly impressed by ease at which I could locate the data. It has a particularly impressive data retrieval speed, and presented the information in a visually pleasing graphical interface.

According to co-founder of iCruise parent company, WMPH Vacations, “We’ve seen a significant increase in traffic to our website from iPad users. We built this app to make it very easy for them to find a cruise with a high-quality, user experience that is consistent with other iPad apps in the travel industry.”

Simple cruise pricing and booking capability

One of the best features of the app is the online pricing and booking capability for up to 10 top rated cruise companies including Royal Caribbean, Celebrity Cruises, Princess Cruises, Holland America Line, Norwegian Cruise Line, Disney Cruise Line and Carnival Cruises. As a user, if you prefer to speak to another human being before deciding to book, you can call the iCruise reservation line in Delray Beach Florida USA.

iCruise have been busy with their app development over the past twelve months. This particular app is in the top 40 most popular travel apps for iPads, and follows in the footsteps of the Cruise Finder (TM) produced exclusively for the iPhone and Android mobile phone operating systems. They have also recently updated their online offering with a fully functional mobile site, complete with booking capability.

The Cruise Finder(TM) iPad App is available as a free download on the iTunes App Store. For more information, please visit: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cruise-finder-icruise.com/id381074627?mt=8
