CRUISEC: The Ultimate Solution for Online Cruise Sales
In today’s dynamic travel market, where digitalization and operational efficiency are essential for growth, CRUISEC was born—Cruisehost’s B2C cruise booking platform.
More than just a search engine, CRUISEC is a comprehensive, customizable solution designed for travel agencies, OTAs, wholesalers, and networks aiming to boost online cruise sales through a flexible, professional, and high-performing tool.
CRUISEC Search
CRUISEC strikes the perfect balance between advanced technology and ease of use. The platform allows real-time booking of the best cruise deals worldwide and can be integrated as a white-label solution directly into an agency’s website—no complex development work needed. The result? A user experience fully aligned with the agency’s brand, designed to convert traffic into bookings quickly and effortlessly.
Each CRUISEC installation is fully hosted by Cruisehost, including the domain, and is powered by our proprietary CMS, Pagemaker. This allows total control over content, offers, promotions, and design. Even without technical skills, travel agents can independently update pages, customize layouts, and visually tailor the site to match their brand identity.
CRUISEC offers ready-to-use professional CSS templates, but for those seeking a deeper level of design customization, the CSS code can be edited directly to create a fully branded experience aligned with the agency’s corporate identity. This flexibility extends to agencies using different CMS platforms: thanks to the new XMLSearch & XMLOutput functionality, CRUISEC can be deployed as a white-label solution on a subdomain, while the search engine and results can be embedded in WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, or any other CMS via XML. This allows the main website to maintain full control of the customer journey while taking full advantage of CRUISEC’s robust cruise booking engine on the backend.

With CRUISEC, selling cruises globally becomes a reality. The platform is available in multiple languages, including English, German, Spanish, French, and Italian, and supports multi-currency display, enabling a truly international approach. This ensures broader accessibility and significantly expands your sales potential.
At the core of the CRUISEC experience is an advanced search engine, capable of quickly finding and comparing cruises using detailed filters: dates, cruise lines, destinations, ships, duration, and cabin type. Each itinerary is enriched with descriptions, deck plans, maps, and images to enhance the user experience and increase conversion. The platform is fully responsive, optimized for all devices—desktop, tablet, and mobile—so users can book easily, wherever they are.
One of CRUISEC’s most appreciated features is the ability to increase the average booking value through powerful upselling and cross-selling options: cabin upgrades, shore excursions, insurance, and extra services. The system can generate professional quotes with just a few clicks and supports booking of up to 8 cabins simultaneously, ideal for groups or families. Additionally, with flexible payment handling, multiple payment methods can be accepted, making the purchase process smooth and user-friendly.
