I thought of writing about the industry that I am most passionate about, which is the CRUISE INDUSTRY. Having spent 20 years as a part of the industry with its highs and lows, I wanted to pen my thoughts towards the industry, making me who I am today. I don’t think I can ever be more grateful.
Having said this, it is also extremely important to value the role of this great and dynamic travel industry who possibly give their blood and sweat backed with loads of research and sleepless nights to ensure that their guests not only have a great holiday but create memories that they can cherish for a lifetime. I have been working with travel partners for more than two decades, and one question that comes up time and again by them is, “Why should I sell cruises when I can sell any possible land destination?” So, while I may want to write on many aspects of cruising, I thought the most relevant to start with would be for our TRAVEL PARTNERS.
As a travel partner, you have a world of possibilities at your fingertips. Among the myriad options available, one industry that holds immense potential for growth and profitability is the cruise industry. In this article, I will highlight the key reasons why selling cruises can be a lucrative opportunity for travel partners like you.

A Growing Industry with Expanding Demographics: The cruise industry has been experiencing consistent growth, with more people opting for cruise vacations than ever before. From families and couples to solo travellers and adventure seekers, cruises cater to a wide range of audiences presenting an incredible opportunity for travel partners to tap into a diverse customer base.
High Commission Rates and Earning Potential: One of the biggest advantages of selling cruises is the attractive commission rates offered by cruise lines. Compared to other travel products, cruises often provide higher commission percentages, allowing travel partners to earn substantial revenue with each booking. Additionally, by upselling add-ons such as excursions, beverage packages, and spa treatments, partners can further enhance their earnings.
Access to Comprehensive Training and Support: Cruise lines like ours recognize the importance of travel partners in driving our sales and often provide comprehensive training and support. From online courses and webinars to fam trips and onboard ship visits, cruise lines invest in equipping travel agents with the knowledge and resources they need to sell cruises effectively.
I strongly believe that selling cruises can open a world of opportunities for travel partners like yourself. So, join us on this voyage and embrace the world of cruising to unlock the immense potential it holds for your travel agency.
