Job description

We're hiring a Remote Travel Consultant who specializes in cruises. This is one of the most lucrative and loyal niches in the entire travel industry, and we're building a team of consultants ready to own it.

WHY CRUISES

Here's what most people don't realize about the cruise industry:

Cruisers cruise again. The repeat booking rate is one of the highest in travel. Sign a client once, serve them well, and they come back to you for the next 10 to 20 years.

Per-booking commissions are strong. Cruises bundle the entire vacation (lodging, dining, entertainment, transportation between ports) into one bookable product, which means higher commissions per sale.

The supplier landscape is rich. Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Norwegian, Princess, Cunard, Disney Cruise Line, MSC, Holland America, Celebrity, Virgin Voyages, Viking, and luxury lines like Regent and Silversea. Each one is its own learning track and its own commission stream.

Group bookings multiply your income. One wedding party, family reunion, or church group can book 20+ cabins on a single sailing.

This is a niche where expertise compounds. The longer you do it, the more you know, the more you earn.

WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR

You don't need to have cruised before (we'll get you on ships with our agent perks). What you DO need:

Attention to detail. Cruise itineraries are complex. The agents who succeed are the ones who get the details right the first time.

Patience with the planning process. Cruise clients often shop and ask questions before they book. The consultants who close are the ones who guide patiently.

A willingness to specialize. The best cruise consultants know their cruise lines deeply. We'll provide the training. You bring the focus.

People skills. Cruisers often book for their whole family or friend group. Your job is to make every person on the booking feel taken care of.

A long-term mindset. This is a business that pays you for years on every relationship. The agents who stick with it for a year or more are the ones earning serious income.

WHAT YOU'D ACTUALLY DO

Help clients plan unforgettable cruise vacations. That means:

Matching them with the right cruise line, ship, and itinerary for their travel style Booking their cabin, dining, excursions, and pre/post-cruise hotels Earning commission on every piece of the booking Following up so they come back to you for their next cruise, and the one after that Eventually building a book of repeat clients who book with you year after year
