If you’re new to booking cruises, this travel niche might seem intimidating at first. Not only are there countless destinations to choose from, but there are also endless ship options to book your clients on. While many cruise companies fit the bill for several types of travelers, here are a few lines you can match your clients up with.

For Your Adults-Only Cruisers

Whether they have kids at home or not, your adult-only travelers are usually looking for atmospheres that are sans children. There aren’t too many cruise lines that sail without youngsters, but Virgin Voyages does fit the bill. A great way to learn more about this cruise line is by taking its Seacademy training and becoming a First Mate.

For Your Families

A waterpark at sea, arts and crafts, kid-approved cuisine – what more could a child ask for? Your family travelers will find all this and much more when sailing with Royal Caribbean. If you’re interested in becoming an expert on all things Royal Caribbean, the first step would be enrolling in Royal Caribbean University and working through the courses and modules.

For Your Budget-Conscious Clients

With the prices of almost everything skyrocketing these days, it’s no surprise your clients might want to save a few bucks on their vacation. One cruise line known for being inexpensive is Carnival Cruise Line. Your clients can visit a number of destinations at a low cost, which is ideal for groups of friends traveling on different budgets. You might even be able to snag your clients one of the limited-time cruise deals.

For Your Adventure Seekers

Some clients can’t get enough adrenaline and are constantly in search of the next off-the-beaten-path locale to visit. For travelers looking to explore remote destinations and immerse themselves in intriguing animal encounters, you might want to offer an adventure with Lindblad Expeditions-National Geographic.

For Your Wellness Travelers

If your clients are interested in enhancing their best selves while cruising, AmaWaterways can help them do so. With active excursions like biking and hiking, a dedicated wellness program and spa experiences, travelers are able to find rejuvenation both on and off the ship.

Whether it’s a family planning their spring break vacation or a couple checking off their bucket list expedition trip, this list offers a starting point for you while keeping in mind there are many other cruise lines to consider. And with wave season in full swing, you can help your clients secure a discount with these wave season cruise deals.
