CORAL SPRINGS, Fla., April 1, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Cabin fever is starting to set in for many Americans who are self-quarantined or practicing social distancing. Cruise Planners, the nation's largest network of home-based travel advisors, believes in the healing power of travel so much so that the company is encouraging travelers to participate in a Facebook photo contest "For the Love of Travel."

With this social media contest, the goal is to keep fond travel memories alive and have people share their favorite vacation photos. The campaign* is now live and runs through April 30, 2020. All posts will be entered to win the Grand Prize – a 7-Night Caribbean cruise for two in 2021, courtesy of Celebrity Cruises, with weekly prizes of Cruise Planners gift items.

"This contest is a fun way to spark some joy across our travel advisor network, their clients, and travelers who are spending days, and even weeks, inside their homes," said Michelle Fee, CEO & Founder, Cruise Planners, an American Express Travel Representative. "I can't wait to be inspired by the travel photos submitted as I am already reminiscing about my favorite travels and dreaming of where to go next once the world opens up again."
