i nearly went for canalcruise.co.uk a couple of weeks ago myself.

i reckon if you developed the site and sold holidays you'd make money... are there many affiliates for this kind of thing?

golfcruise?? whazzat?

 

[charlie]

so you think develop only - no resale value?

My niece runs an egypt holiday company so I picked up a few nile cruise domains but purelly to develop (when I get the chance). Not sure about resale though.

In 2004 worldwide cruise passenger numbers grew 8.4% to 13.4m, in a year when capacity increased by a similar percentage.

The UK sector – including river and ocean cruises – was right in line with the
worldwide market as it, too, grew more than 8% in 2004 to another record total of 1.14m.

Although it was a year when there were no major capacity increases in the UK cruisemarket – apart from the arrival of Cunard’s QM2 which meant that QE2 was dedicated to the UK – sales grew 7% with the sector outperforming the overall foreign holiday market for the third year in succession.

not a mega market but stelios cant be wrong!
i know these do cruise affiliate but its a very particular part of the market
