Friendly Planet Travel Discounts Tours to More Than 40 Countries During Cyber Monday Blowout Sale

JENKINTOWN, Pa., Nov 24, 2014 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Friendly Planet Travel is throwing the biggest sale in the company's history, discounting its complete line of international travel packages by as much as $500 this Cyber Monday, with additional savings from early booking discounts! Travelers can now book the international vacations of their dreams, all while staying within their holiday budgets.

Last Cyber Monday, Friendly Planet Travel discounted tours to 36 countries, allowing travelers to explore the world, and in some cases, for less than the cost of an airline ticket. But this year, the sale is even bigger. Friendly Planet Travel is offering discounts on every tour package in its portfolio—from fully escorted tours, to independent packages, to family-friendly getaways—allowing travelers to visit more than 40 exotic countries worldwide. The 24-hour, online-only Cyber Monday Sale covers destinations in Europe, Asia, South America, Africa, the Caribbean, and more.

"The holiday season is a time for giving, and this year, we're giving back to travelers by offering them deep discounts on all of our international tour packages," said Peggy Goldman, President of Friendly Planet Travel. "Go lion spotting in Kenya, sample pho in Thailand, or learn to salsa in Cuba, all at the lowest prices you'll see for 2015 travel. Our Cyber Monday Sale puts international exploration well within the reach of all travelers, allowing them to experience the wonders of our world at highly accessible prices. But these discounts will only last for one day, so be sure to book early before departures fill up."

Beginning Dec. 1 at 12:00 a.m. ET and ending at 11: 59 p.m. ET, all Friendly Planet Travel packages will be reduced between $100 and $500 per person, in addition to early booking discounts. Friendly Planet Travel's reservations team will be standing by during office hours, from 9:30 AM to 6:00 PM ET to answer questions and provide assistance to travelers when they call the company's toll-free number (800-555-5765). Actual reservations, though, must be made online to receive the Cyber Monday Sale savings. The discounts for each tour and departure date will be viewable on the Friendly Planet Travel website beginning Tuesday, Nov. 25 to give travelers a sneak peek at the massive savings.

Travelers can sign up to receive advance notice about all of the Cyber Monday sales by visiting the company's website and subscribing to "Hot Deals."
