Notes de l'éditeur
#1 by being focused Entrepreneurial Dreams of our Franchise Partners and their customers (the agent) who makes their customer’s (the traveler) dreams come true. Our values are straightforward and are lived throughout the organization Some of the fun comes onboard our National Conference – this is our Franchise Partners aboard the Caribbean Princess in 2007.
Over 40 years of continuous growth New ships coming out every year
2,100% growth since 1970 18 New Ships for 2009 – 11 Ocean and 7 River Cruise 1980’s - Nearly 40 new ships were built 1990s - nearly 80 new ships debuted. By the end of 2006, 76 new ships will have been introduced since 2000.
The entire Partner Support team is passionate about listening to the wants of agents and delivering programs and systems that meet their changing needs. Our President and CEO, Michael Drever began as a Franchise Partner selling cruises from a packaged office complex. He has been at the helm of the company for nearly twenty years.
Expedia is the most recognized brand in travel and Expedia Inc. companies operate in North America, Europe, Australia and Asia.
The cruise industry has grown at about 8% per year Our goal is to outpace industry growth by 3 X every year - we have achieved this objective for over two decades If we were to show the previous 10 years graph – you would see the same growth curve.
Year after year we are recognized as a top account. Every major cruise line is fully engaged in everything we do, from marketing to training to attending our Cruise to Success rallies, national conference and annual Presidents Circle Awards Gala. Another achievement we are proud of, winning the CFA Award of Excellence two years in a row. This is based on an independent research by Ryerson University through a survey conducted directly with our Franchise Partners.
Franchising is all about systems. At Expedia CruiseShipCenters everyone works on one system – CruiseDesk. We call it Enterprise Customer Relationship Management because it facilitates the 360 degree operation of the business – Enterprise wide. From the individual travel agent to the Chief Executive, the tools to manage the business are built into the system.
This is our Cycle of Success. Find people who are interested in vacation travel. With their permission, market to them on a consistent basis. Provide sales and service to however they prefer - in person, over the phone or online. Deploy a retention marketing strategy to “keep customers for life”. This result of this cycle is Advocacy – which is simply customer referrals and raving fans.

Every email is linked to your website The website has an incredible amount of information – itineraries, ship and cruise line information, 360 degree tours, current pricing for all stateroom categories and more. When a client clicks on the “Book It” link – a pre-populated email is sent to your private business email account. This gives you information on the specific cruise the client is interested in – complete with departure date, ship, destination etc. Your follow-up call builds additional report and generates more sales.
Permission Marketing is personalized, relevant and anticipated. Once your clients are 7SEAS members, the system automatically builds rapport with regular communication. Newsletters are personalized to the client from the individual agent There are 7 publications to meet the clients preferences CruiseShipNews is a blend of interesting editorial and vacation offers CruiseShipWeekly keeps them informed of the latest offers to their destination of choice CruiseShipFlash is for those who are looking for last minute specials and exclusive offers we are not allowed to advertise to the public SunDreams is for those clients interested in land-based vacations And for clients who prefer luxury and specialty cruise lines – we are introducing a unique newsletter that features those products.
Every retail location and each individual Cruise Consultant has their own personal website. Because we are customer-centric, leads from our top-level domains (cruiseshipcenters.com and .ca) are routed by geography – to match the customer to the Expedia CruiseShipCenters office in their area. Leads can then be forwarded to individual consultants for follow-up.
Search over 10,000 departures in just seconds. Choose any number of criteria including a port of call that the cruise stops. If your customer dreams of Venice, just use that as the criteria and any cruise that stops there will appear in the results.
These one page sell sheets are personalized with the agent contact info, include all the detail of itinerary, price by stateroom and upgrade messaging.
CruiseDesk is linked directly to cruise line inventory systems. You will see the same information as their reservation agents including real-time stateroom availability and pricing.
CruiseDesk eliminates duplicate data entry by merging customer data with booking information so you spend far less time on administration. Even if you made the booking over the phone, CruiseDesk will retrieve the information from the cruise line system.
CruiseDesk keeps you organized with every booking through automated activity reminders.
Business Development Manager in every region we have centers Key Result Areas Implement Marketing programs Attract, retain and train Cruise Sales Consultants Review and implement operational systems for efficiencies
CruiseDesk helps you manage day-to-day operations and business planning with powerful and easy to use reporting tools.
