Cruise Integrations

Updates

• Crystal Cruises - the cruise line has recently started feeding out Getaway cruises which are part of a longer cruise. As these have the same cruise names as the full cruise, these are fed out with the full name followed by '-#-Night-Getaway' (ie "Baltic Palaces & Panoramas-5-Night-Getaway"). To prevent issues with line breaks and for clarity, these are now being overwritten so the information is in parenthesis instead, with spaces instead of dashes (ie "Baltic Palaces & Panoramas (5 Night Getaway)")

Announcements

• Hurtigruten - the integration with the Hurtigruten flat files is set to be released on Tuesday 15 June. Due to the current situation, we have decided to increase the announcement time to one month instead of 1-2 weeks as usual. This is to make sure any of our customers that may not currently have IT support for their website have the time to investigate whether such a large increase of data can be handled by their system.
  • The integration will add roughly 1700+ sailings, with many featuring long itineraries due to some of the ships also operating as ferries, increasing the amount of stops for the cruise.
  • Should you wish for us to turn off Hurtigruten until you are certain your system is able to handle such a large increase in data, please let us know at support@widgety.co.uk and we will temporarily lock it on your key. Simply email us again once you are ready to take in the cruises and we will unlock it back.
  • The dedicated integration page will be published by the end of next week, to be available on our Content website as usual.
