| TRAVEL IDEAS Cruising For Bargains (NAPSA)—The next time you want to take a cruise or other vacation, it may pay to go surfing first. That’s because a little online bidding at a travel auction site could get you a world class cruise vacation for a fraction of what the price would normally be. Around the world cruises for a dollar? With online auction bidding, travelers enjoy tremendous bargain power. For example, one travel-auction web site, SkyAuction.com, now has more than 40 different cruise vacations, including transAtlantic luxury cruises, available for travelers to bid on. This service also delivers similar bargain opportunities for air travel packages, whether it’s a honeymoon, ski vacation, dive tour or various other get-aways. Visitors to the site simply register and makeoffers on trips. Users can start the bidding process—and conceivably win a trip—for as little as one dollar because vacation packages offered on the site can not have a preset minimum price. In fact, this noreserve, one dollar opening bid policy is what makesthesite particularly unique. Since 1998, travelers who have visited SkyAuction.com have won trips including an eight day cruise in the Mediterraneanfor less than 300 dollars, a Thanksgiving week cruise through the Bahamas for just over $250 and a week cruise in Bermudafor less than $350.
