Travel advisor consortium Ensemble has announced the launch of its first-of-a-kind Hotel Cruise Amenity Program offering exclusive hotel benefits and private port transfers for cruise clients.

Available only to Ensemble members, the program offers a significant enhancement to the overall travel experience, delivering superior value for both advisors and their clients.

Currently in its pilot phase, the program is being launched in key cruise hubs—Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, Seattle, and Vancouver—with plans to expand to additional cities in the near future.

Through this initiative, Ensemble members can offer their clients the luxury hotel amenities they expect, such as room upgrades, breakfast, early check-in, and late check-out, but also provide private transfers to their cruise port that ensures a seamless journey and simplifies the travel experience.

"We are incredibly proud to be leading the way with this innovative program," said Beth Butzlaff, Senior Vice President of Partner Relations at Ensemble. "At Ensemble, we’re always looking for ways to enhance the value our members can provide to their clients. This program does just that by combining the premium benefits of hotel stays with the convenience of private transfers to the port, offering a truly seamless start to a client's cruise vacation.”

She added, “It’s a game-changer for travel advisors looking to differentiate their services in a competitive market, and it underscores Ensemble's commitment to providing best-in-class experiences."

The Hotel Cruise Amenity Program is designed to offer Ensemble members a competitive edge, to attract and retain cruise clients by offering added-value services that streamline the pre-cruise experience.

Clients can enjoy a luxurious, worry-free stay at their hotel while preparing for their voyage, knowing their port transportation needs are handled.
