NEW YORK, Dec 19, 2008 (GlobeNewswire via COMTEX) -- TZOO | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Travelzoo (Nasdaq:TZOO), a global Internet media company, would like to remind travelers that the week of Jan. 5, known in the travel industry as "Dead Week," is one of the best times of the year to take advantage of great deals. Travel companies are releasing deals for between 50 and 70 percent off the regular price for travel during this time. Travelzoo's editors and producers see a trend of more and better "Dead Week" bargains than in the last six years.

"Traditionally, the first week of the New Year is extremely slow, due to leisure travelers returning from holiday vacations and business travelers getting back to their daily routines. This usually results in more aggressive pricing from travel suppliers," said Gabe Saglie, senior editor at Travelzoo. "However, this year we are seeing an unprecedented amount of jaw-dropping deals."

Destinations for which currently many hot travel deals are offered include New York City, Mexico, Hawaii, Western Europe and the Caribbean. Listings of such deals can be found at Travelzoo's Web site at http://www.travelzoo.com/deadweek.

The following are examples of the spectacular "Dead Week" deals Travelzoo's editors have found for travel between Jan. 5 and 11:

* CARIBBEAN - $169 for a 4-night cruise to the Bahamas including an onboard ship credit of up to $500 -- Travelers can cruise the Bahamas for 4 nights on the Norwegian Sky for less than $43 per day. This amazing deal includes accommodations, all meals, entertainment and an onboard ship credit for up to $500. This travel offer is valid for a January 5th departure date. * MEXICO - $85 per person, per night for an oceanview room at an all- inclusive Los Cabos resort from BookIt.com -- Travelers can save over 50 percent and kids stay for free. This price includes accommodations in an oceanview room, all meals, beverages (alcoholic and non-alcoholic), entertainment, spa credits, hotel taxes and gratuities. * HAWAII - $119 per night at the newly renovated 4-star Wyland Waikiki -- Travelers can stay in one of the 401 newly renovated guestrooms which feature Wyland artwork, designer wood furnishings and 26" high-definition flat panel television. This price also includes free breakfast. * IRELAND - $499 for a luxury 7-night package with air from Unlimited Vacations & Cruises -- This incredible package includes six nights in a 3-bedroom luxury villa at one of Europe's top-rated resorts, car rental, and airfare from New York, Boston or Washington D.C. * NEW YORK - $139 per night for a studio suite at the Selburne Murray Hill -- Travelers can save over $200 and stay in a suite at the newly renovated Shelburne Murray Hill hotel which is just a few blocks away from the Chrysler Building and the Empire State Building. This offer is valid 7 days a week.

In addition to the lower prices, the "Dead Week" is also a great time to travel as airports, resorts and hotels are less crowded, making the travel experience more relaxing and enjoyable.
