Advantage unveils Cruise Finder tool
Advantage Travel Partnership has launched the Advantage Cruise Finder, to help agents compare more than 650 ocean and river cruise ships worldwide.
Members can use the system to find out detailed ship information, itineraries and pricing and it is completely customisable by ship, port, destination or cruise line.
The platform is designed and powered by travel technology specialist Widgety, which has agreed to offer it exclusively to Advantage members for a limited period.
The brand new bespoke system was unveiled at the Advantage Cruise Conference onboard Ventura today and will be available next week to agents.
The system is provided free of charge to Advantage members if they access it via the Advantage members’ intranet.
Members who want to be able to share the system with their customers, by making it available on their agency website or Facebook page, will be charged a small monthly fee.
Advantage Cruise Finder automatically works on mobiles, tablets and desktops.
Analytics can help highlight trends, based on searches and downloads.
Claire Brighton, senior commercial manager, Advantage Travel Partnership, said: "We are incredibly excited to provide our members with a searchable cruise list on Facebook for the first time, with easy links to their websites.
"Working closely with Widgety, Advantage Cruise Finder has been designed for travel agents who do not have a large development budget, want to avoid hefty set-up fees and want a solution that can be built and installed within a few hours."
