Membership fees start at $ 39 per month.
“Technology is a focal point of our program. Our technology was designed with the user in mind,” said Anthony Hamawy, president of Cruise.com. “The ease and efficiency of the system puts the products, pricing and amenities at your fingertips allowing you to focus on selling. Personalized websites are also available which allow agents to offer their services 24/7. We’re talking cutting edge technology without paying franchise fees.”
In addition, discounted rates and amenities through Cruise.com will be available to agents affiliated with the new host agency. Cruise.com has the ability to hold group space on thousands of sailings as well as negotiate many exclusive promotional rates and value adds.
