Windstar Cruises has partnered with a luggage delivery
company to offer passengers door-to-ship baggage service before or after a
cruise.
Using the firm Luggage Forward, guests can send their
luggage from their doorstep directly to their ship's accommodation and home from
the ship.
Costs vary by the cities served. To ship between New York
and Barcelona, for example, Luggage Forward charges $149 for a small (25 pound)
bag, $259 for a standard (50 pound) bag and $359 for an oversized (75 pound)
bag.
Luggage Forward serves 200 countries. Customers can track their
bags in real time.
"Whatever size your bag is, not dragging it through the
airport enhances the ease and freedom of your travel experience," Windstar
president John Delaney said.
