I see that a lot of conjecture and assumptions are

- the Zeus Travel site may go down again for maintenance at any given moment as the web designers continue work on filling in all of the blanks. Every time the site has been available for viewing, progress has been made. The fact that bookings now redirect to the Rezdy site is the latest in progress that's been made.
- speaking of Rezdy: yes, it's primarily directed towards tour operators. The last I checked, operating cruise tours is part of PVEI's business model. While one of PVEI's goals is to operate cruises using its own ships, there's no reason why they can't offer tour packages featuring other cruise companies on their web site for booking. And, since Zeus has travel agents currently on staff, I'm sure they're able to take care of the flight arrangements when a cruise is booked.
- as of right now, the Zeus web site is unable to provide reservations for air travel, car rentals or hotel bookings...this is true. However, Zeus' affiliation with Amadeus would allow them to use the Amadeus API on their website to provide that ability. It's not integrated yet...but could be in the near future.
