The Role of Small Travel Agencies in the Cruise Market
In the cruise market, characterized by an increasing variety of itineraries, cruise lines, and promotional offers, standing out can be a real challenge—especially for small travel agencies and independent agents.
These professionals often find themselves competing with large players equipped with advanced technologies, marketing resources, and complex (and costly) sales tools. Yet, thanks to smart and accessible solutions like CRUISEA, small agencies now have a genuine opportunity to play a leading role in the cruise market.

CRUISEA Search
With CRUISEA, every operation becomes simple and immediate. In just a few clicks, the travel agent can search for the ideal cruise using highly customizable advanced filters, quickly identifying the best solutions to meet the client’s needs. Once the perfect offer is selected, it’s possible to generate a professional PDF, complete with all itinerary details and personalized with the agency’s logo and contact information, ready to be sent to the client or printed.
The platform also allows easy management of bookings and cancellations, optimizing time and minimizing errors. Additionally, thanks to a dedicated feature, agents can print eye-catching flyers for the storefront, perfect for promoting the most attractive offers and drawing the attention of passersby.
The entire communication and presentation process is fully customizable: every email, offer, or document produced through CRUISEA reflects the agency’s visual identity, helping to strengthen the brand and offer an increasingly professional and recognizable service.
In an increasingly international market, CRUISEA’s multilingual function is a decisive competitive advantage. Agents can serve clients of different nationalities in their preferred language, improving the experience and increasing conversion chances. Moreover, the platform is fully customizable: logos, signatures, and agency details can be inserted, perfectly integrating with the brand identity, even when operating as part of a network or host agency.
