Buying your Land and All-Inclusive Packages. Beware of non-official vendors. Agents contract for protecting clients.

Next week I'm cruising ... Next blog post April 13


Land Tour Vendors – Cruises Inc contracts for our cruise customers !

 

There were basically 3 reasons,  why I choose Cruises Inc 25 years ago (FYI, they had to approve me too).

·         Specialized in cruises.  They were devoted to the cruise industry.  Not only for  having a personal relationship, but in serving on the boards, for many years, in trying to help improve the industry, for the benefit of the cruiser.

·         The regular travel agent, or at least in my area, knew very little about cruises.  Not only, no one specialized in this area, but it seemed, that no one had even taken a cruise.  Since I had discovered, for myself, this was the vacation that “truly took me away”, then for myself, I needed to understand this industry.  And better yet, have a close-knit relationship, that I would never get, if connected to a local agency !

·         Cruises Inc didn’t focus on other travel.  Our mind would be able to stay focused on one topic.  Giving us the needed time, in taking seminars and visiting just the cruise ships, to better help the cruiser.

  

Well today, “land travel” has changed much, in being more like a cruising product …

·         One stop purchase.  Vendors put together packages, for agents to buy “for their clients”.  Instead of piecing a vacation together, the vendor can offer more of what it needed by the vacationer.  Whether it’s transportation from/to airport or to/from cities or meals included with All-Inclusives.

·         Land vendors too, have personalities and budgets.  You can read many reviews online. And select companies, like Apple Vacation, rates their properties, for the vacation to better understand.  And after you too, have experienced them for yourself, you often know next time, if you want to travel again, with this same vendor.

·         Representatives of the vendor are often on property or escorting the group.

  

And like the cruise lines, land vendors turn to agents in providing their vendor packages, for the benefit of the vacationer … 

·         Better informed before travel

·         And when possible issues arise (whether vendor related or personal customer issues), to have that needed support, of an agent.

·         Help keep folks protected from non-official companies/sites.   Like cruises, internet sites buy URL names, that will lure the searcher to their site.  The consumer thinking they are on the official site of the land vendor, when in actuality, they’re not.

 

About 5 years ago, the “land vendors” approached Cruises Inc.  Their reason:

·         Over the last 30 years, Cruises Inc continues to win awards in the travel industry, for our attention to detail.  Meaning, more happier clients, when they arrive to their destination.  Who doesn’t want happier clients, upon arrival ?  LAND VENDORS TOO, WANT HAPPIER CLIENTS – OURS !  Who could blame them, in making this approach !

·         And as the Nation’s Largest Cruise-Only agency,  we have a lot of clients.  What better way for them to reach more vacationers than with our many clients. 

  

Cruises Inc’s reason in now offering “land packages” to our customers …. Like cruises …

·         To be there for our clients.   Back our clients.  Be that go-between with possible issues.

·         We now have that special relationship with the Top Brand Land Vendors.  That contract, where the vendors “knows” which clients are ours !

 

Top Brand Land Vendors, like the major cruise lines, now travel with Cruises Inc to our annual convention.  We meet them 1^st hand, like we do the cruise lines.  Continuing to build that relationship, for the benefit of our customers, as we have with the cruise lines.

 

It’s a WIN-WIN situation.  These vendors have more access to our cruise clients, with providing their land packages and All-Inclusives.  Our cruisers can now come to us, for this same back, with “their choice” land vacation package.  And Cruises Inc now has a larger industry position, for protecting our cruise clients, with their other type bucket-list vacation opportunities and dreams.

 

With more to come … Cruises Inc Exclusive Land Vendor offers !  Just last month, we had an Exclusive offer, for our clients, with Apple Vacations.  We’re looking forward, to the future, in providing our clients more. 

Like cruises, land travel is not meant for venturing alone !   Get started today, in your “land travel” plans.  See some of the industry’s Top Brand Land Vendors below !
