The Cruisen Corporation announced the upcoming launch of a
travel advisor platform, which is designed to streamline the cruise planning
and booking process for both agents and consumers.
Set to launch in the fourth quarter, Cruisen will offers two
versions of the advisor platform: Cruisen, a free solution aimed at travel
advisors; and Cruisen Enterprise, a premium service designed for larger travel
and host agencies.
The programs were designed to centralize communication,
simplify collaboration, and enhance efficiency, which the company said would reduce
advisor booking time by up to 50 percent.
“As a successfully exited corporate travel agency and
technology startup founder, I've seen firsthand the frustration that advisors
face when juggling multiple systems and tools to manage a single booking,” Cruisen
Founder and CEO Reid Williams said.
“With Cruisen, we set out to streamline this process by
eliminating repetitive tasks, minimizing back-and-forth with clients, and
utilizing thoughtful AI to help independent advisors unlock growth and elevate
their business,” Williams continued. “Today, we're sharing our excitement
around bringing this platform to market.”
Travel advisors can sign up now for early access, which allows
them to manage bookings, collaborate with clients in real time, and simplify
room management at no cost.
For host agencies and larger organizations, Cruisen
Enterprise delivers advanced features designed to support high-volume
operations and in-app bookings. Here are some of the platform’s key features:
- Cruisen (free version): Essential tools for managing trips,
suggesting cruises, collaborating with clients, and growing their business.
- Cruisen Enterprise: Advanced booking capability designed for
larger agencies.
- Real-time Communication: Chat and collaborate seamlessly
between the advisor and client throughout the entire booking process.
- Exceptional User Experience: Cruisen provides the best
cruise search and booking mobile application on the market, and advisors can
distribute it to their customers.
- AI Based Advising: Built-in AI alongside real advisor
expertise ensures a premium, white-glove booking experience for clients.
- Efficiency Boost: Advisors can reduce the time spent on
bookings by 50%, allowing them to handle more clients and grow their
businesses.
