Are you passionate about cruise holidays? Do you want to run your own business? Are you ready for a greater work-life balance and dreaming of controlling your own earnings? Do you have incredible product knowledge of cruise lines and ships and want to unlock your potential? If that’s the case, Travel Weekly’s Best Cruise Agency 2008 is with you all the way.
As a Travel Advisor with experience of cruise, you’re well placed to provide fantastic service levels and the attention to detail to deliver exactly what your customers are looking for. New media, like satellite and digital TV, the internet and mobile phones, has made home shopping the preferred choice for millions of customers, and this is perfect for your new career as a homeworker. Because you’ll be working from a state-of-the-art travel agency in your own home, fully equipped and ready to provide your customers with the very latest information, the best possible deals and unrivalled personal service. All they need to do is pick up the phone and call you, or send you an email. It’s that simple, and customers love the special feeling they get from having their own cruise Travel Advisor – and the reassurance of knowing you’re protected by ABTA and ATOL.
You’ll need extensive travel industry experience, of course, because that’s what will give you the edge – plus you need to comply with ABTA standards. We’ll help you with advertising channels and marketing, and our own in-house repackaging operator gives you the potential to repackage deals using our ATOL licence. Plus Amadeus Cruise, our online GDS system will allow bookings to be made out-of-hours and provide an invaluable source of information on the ships.
Our unique brand of support doesn’t stop there; we’ll also provide you with free ACE membership, cruise training, ship visits and seminars, as well as UK and overseas conferences - at no charge to you.
