Luggage Mule partners with Cruise.co.uk

Luggage Mule, the baggage courier service and Cruise.co.uk the online travel agent, have agreed a deal around the company’s new cruise product offering.

The baggage service, which delivers a passenger’s bags directly from their home to their cabin for a lead-in price of £55, began its cruise operation five months ago.

It has so far delivered more than 200 bags to cruise cabins.

Seamus Conlon, managing director of Cruise.co.uk, said: “Cruise.co.uk has consistently innovated in the cruise sector and we regard Luggage Mule as a great additional service to offer to our customer base.”

Luggage Mule will be launched on the agent’s website later this month.

“We agree that it is an affordable luxury that many of our customers will take up and can be easily promoted via our home workers social media and blogging pages, simply because it’s so innovative and unique.”

Jordan Makin, managing director of Luggage Mule, said: “We carried out extensive research on the first group of bookers to fully understand which of our key USPs was the main driver of bookings.

“I was surprised that most comments were actually as simple as ‘It’s an affordable luxury, so why not’.”
