Worldspan introduces online cruise booking
Agents using Worldspan are being offered real-time booking connections to cruise lines via the internet.
The GDS has introduced Worldspan Cruise with links to Celebrity Cruises, Cosmos, Cunard, Fred Olsen, Kuoni, Longwood Holidays, Ocean Village, P&O Cruises, Princess Cruises, Royal Caribbean International and Somak.
About 13 additional cruise lines and tour operators will be introduced through the system in the near future.
By logging on to www.worldspancruise.com, Worldspan user agents gain a real-time connection for current availability, bookings and instant confirmations.
Worldspan Cruise was developed to interface seamlessly with the TravelTradeX cruise shopping and booking platform, which links to the internal reservation systems of cruise and tour operators.
Graham Nichols, Worldspan vice president and general manager EMEAA said: “This excellent product is the result of intensive consultations with leading cruise and tour operators, trade associations, cruise specialist travel agents and TravelTradeX, which runs under ABTA.
“By extending this superior industry-wide service to all Worldspan agents, we are helping our agency partners create new revenue streams, while supporting the industry’s goal of continued innovation and investment in cruise marketing.”
