The company\u2019s popular Galapagos Islands nature cruise, scheduled for February 19-28, 2009 has a few spaces available and the company is allowing bidders to \u201cMake Us an Offer\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Says company President Matt Holmes, \u201cour travelers have been thrilled in the past by the opportunity to make a bid on a dream trip that may previously have been out of their reach price-wise. It really is a win-win situation; we get to fill a couple of vacant slots, and our guests get to take advantage of an amazing deal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Just how amazing? Competition for the few spots is typically fierce, but winning bids are often between 25-40% below the listed price of the trip. \u201cIt wouldn\u2019t be a viable policy to do it for every trip, but now and then there is a perfect opportunity to share a really good deal with our guests,\u201d adds Holmes.<\/p>\n<p>To bid on the February 19-28, 2009 departure, simply e-mail your offer to info@boundlessjourneys.com, or call 1-800-941-8010.
