With more Australians enjoying a cruise holiday each year, the demand for high quality cruise information is greater than ever before. As a leading online leisure agency, GlobeNet Travel set about developing a dedicated site to provide cruise passengers with the best research tools to find their perfect cruise. We're also looking for suitable partners in North America and Europe who can take the Clean Cruising concept to cruise passengers in these markets - contact us at partners@cleancruising.com.au.

Technology Innovations
When Clean Cruising launched, it introduced a number of innovations including:

* A powerful cruise finder that lets users quickly filter through cruise ships and itineraries.
* Cruise routes are displayed in interactive Google Maps for the first time. Want to avoid a cruise that travels back and forth over the same body of water up to 5 times? Our exclusive maps are the best way to do so.
* Using the power of Google Earth, our "Virtual Voyages" give users a 3D tour of any cruise route. The fjords are particularly amazing!

Carbon Neutral Cruising
The other significant initiative was to introduce the ability for cruise passengers to carbon offset their cruise. Emissions are calculated by combining the distance of each itinerary with research data provided by both the cruiselines and independent researchers. We've partnered with Carbon Neutral, a leading non-profit organisation that provides a verified Australian native tree planting program. For the first time, Australian cruise passengers can now cruise with a clean concience.

What can Clean Cruising offer you?

Australia is now the base for, or is being visited by some of the world's largest cruise ships. As cruise specialists, our multi-skilled consultants frequently travel on these ships and can provide first-hand advice, recommendations with free sea-land-air itinerary planning. Here's how they can help you with their award-winning skills...

•  Not ALL cabins are the same size with some up to 3 times larger for the same price. We can find you the largest cabin available in that category for your cruise!

•  Not ALL identical cabins cost the same, with savings up to 60% and more through exclusive specials often released and sold first here. Sometimes the better cabins are cheaper! We can find you the lowest price for your cruise!

•  Often the lower deck cabins can be identical in size and furnishings, but quieter, more comfortable in bad weather and significantly less in price. We can find you the best value for your cruise!

•  Identical cruises just days apart often cost far less or more due to seasonal fluctuations. We can find you the best time to cruise to suit your budget.
