Cruiseco launches new agent portal

CRUISECO has consolidated a number of its platforms to launch CruisePRO, an agent portal that incorporates a new booking system, website, member white site solutions, online payment gateway and members’ area.

CruisePRO allows its members to make online bookings in real time from a choice of over 300 packages across 21 cruise lines.

“It is important to integrate our business support platforms to enable quick and easy business operations for members, which in turn allows members to deliver best-in-class service in market,” said Cruiseco Chief Executive Officer Amanda McClelland.

“The new CruisePRO platform drives speed to market, enabling members to take advantage of as well as market cruise line offers more seamlessly to their clients,” she added.

A further 32 cruise line brands are available through traditional channels, with a consumer-facing version of the platform also allowing members to service their clients’ needs “24 hours a day”.

The integration of many APIs into the new portal means Cruiseco members can tailor individual packages across air, cruise and land to better match the travel needs of clients.

A number of launch incentives have been announced by Cruiseco that award those who use the new CruisePro booking platform before 31 Jan 2019.

Incentives include agents who book a Music cruise going in the draw to win a cabin on Rock the Boat 2019, the first booking of each day rewarded with a bottle of Penfolds wine, and the agent who books the most Dream Cruises winning an ocean cruise.
