Des Moines, Iowa (Sept. 7, 2012) – CruiseCompete, an Iowa-based travel company, has been listed on internationally renowned magazine Travel + Leisure’s prestigious “Top 60 Best Apps and Websites for Travelers”.

"We are honored to be one of only two cruise web sites named to the “Top 60 Best Apps and Websites for Travelers”," said CruiseCompete co-founder and CEO Bob Levinstein, because Travel + Leisure is so well respected in the travel industry." CruiseCompete's revolutionary, market-based approach to cruise shopping has long been praised by cruise travelers and recommended by travel industry experts alike.

CruiseCompete LLC founded in Iowa in 2003, enables consumers to select a cruise, then receive multiple, competing quotes from more than 350 independent cruise travel agencies. Consumers can compare prices, see agency ratings and reviews, and then contact agents directly for more information or to book cruise travel.

Consumers post over 1,000 new cruise quote requests on CruiseCompete each day on average, and receive approximately five to seven quotes from travel agents in response to each request.

"While it always raises eyebrows when people hear that we started an international cruise business in landlocked Iowa," said Des Moines-resident Levinstein, "It's really the ideal place to live and work."
