Would you mind shelling out $1million to get a domain name that has a letter more than yours?? This is what exactly the British Travel company has done. They own the domain name cruise.co.uk and they bought the domain cruises.co.uk shelling out £560,000 ($1.1 mln) virtually for a single letter.

Why do people spend a lot on domains?

The reason is pretty simple. It’s a one time buy. The word cruises is placed top in search engines compared to cruise and the chances of getting potential customer is more even though it’s just a matter of a letter. In the long run, it can turn very profitable.
