Bidding starts from R1 and there will be four cruises on auction over a thirty day period.

(19 January 2016) Everybody loves a good deal, and almost everybody dreams of a luxurious cruise.

During the next four weeks, shoppers at South African online marketplace bobshop.co.za will have a chance to make a dream holiday come true and to secure an outstanding deal.

MCS Cruises is auctioning off four Mozambique cruises over the next thirty days, at the rate of one per week. The bidders will be battling it out for two 4-night cruises to Portuguese Islands and two 7-night cruises with visits to Portuguese Islands and to the island of Mozambique.

In all four auctions, the winning bids buy a luxurious holiday for two persons. The winners can opt to bring along up to two more persons, including children, at standard additional rates, subject to availability.

Best of all, bidding for all four cruise auctions start from R1, with no reserve. That means the buyers set the final price, which the sellers have to accept.

“This is definitely an opportunity for our users to go on a cruise for a fraction of the full price”, says Bob Shop CEO Jaco Jonker. “Winning bidders are practically guaranteed an excellent deal. However, shoppers participating in the auctions shouldn’t get carried away and offer more than they can afford. We always advise our users to set in advance the maximum amount they are willing to pay.”

In other words, no getting caught up in a bidding contest and no sipping an anticipatory glass of champagne while bidding!

The first R1 cruise auction opened on 19 January and the last one closes on 18 February. All four cruises take part in the second half of March. Everyone over 18 can register on Bob Shop and participate in the auctions.
