Crowne Plaza Redondo Beach Prepares for Surge as Blue Whales near Coast Hotel in Redondo Beach Introduces "Whale of a Deal" Package
Hotel in Redondo Beach, CA offers package for guests in town to see the blue whales.

REDONDO BEACH, CA, September 28, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Dozens of blue whales have made their way to the coasts of Redondo Beach, just south of Los Angeles, and enthusiastic travelers have followed in kind. The Crowne Plaza Redondo Beach Hotel has seen a boost in reservations from guests eager for their chance to see these remarkable giants of the ocean up close.

This marks the second consecutive year that blue whales have migrated near the coastline of Redondo Beach beginning around August. Despite their immense size, with lengths reaching up to 100 feet, blue whales are a rare sight for the Southern California whale watching community.

Deborah Shepard, Director of Sales at Crowne Plaza Redondo Beach, is encouraging travelers not to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity:

"We're thrilled to see the return of the blue whales to Redondo Beach. As they get more comfortable with the migration, they come closer and closer to the shore, so sightings are more common than ever. Now we have whale watching cruises departing twice daily," Shepard said, adding, "Our concierge is seeing so many people who come back exhilarated and ready to tell their stories. It's truly a 'bucket list' experience."

To serve the overwhelming demand, Crowne Plaza Redondo Beach has introduced the "Whale of a Deal" package. Guests receive a $5.00 discount off the regular adult and child Whale Watching tour by Voyager Excursions along with deluxe accommodations and other great perks. The 3-hour Voyager Whale Watching Tours depart daily from Redondo Beach Marina, which is located in walking distance to the Crowne Plaza.

Experts expect blue whale sightings to continue near Redondo Beach for the next several weeks, but both hotel reservations and whale watching seats are filling up fast. For more information on Crowne Plaza Redondo Beach and the "Whale of a Deal" package, visit www.cpredondobeachhotel.com/specials
