Summary:
Ships Ahoy Travel removes direct booking links.
Why It Matters:
The website now focuses more on lead generation through forms rather than immediate self-service booking. This might mean they want to talk to customers directly to sell higher-value group packages.
What Changed:
- Removed the "Book Now" buttons from the top navigation and several page sections.
- Removed direct links to specific Virgin Voyages destination pages (Caribbean, Europe, etc.).
- Removed the "See Sailing" buttons for the Alaska and Egypt group trips.
- Removed the Instagram social media feed and specific giveaway promotional images.
- Removed the "Subscribe" newsletter box and footer contact information like the phone number and address.
- Simplified the header by removing the logo and main menu links.
