Testimonials
Working with Cruises International really gives me the best of both worlds. As an independent contractor I'm able to run my business the way I want to, but with a strong support system of seasoned travel agency staff members behind me. This allows me to spend my time doing what I really love: planning perfect vacations for my valued clients!?
Working with Cruises International is one of the most rewarding experiences I have ever had. Every day is a new and exciting learning experience. Each staff member exhibits a wonderful attitude of support, knowledge and expertise which they willingly and freely share. With the help and support of Cruises International, I have learned more about the travel business than I ever knew and have been able to increase my sales. I truly enjoy the opportunity to work with such a dedicated and caring group of people.
Cruises International has offered me an excellent opportunity as an independent contractor. With outstanding support and weekly sales meetings, we are able to provide outstanding service to our clients that exceeds their expectations, and as a result of their satisfaction, they become returning clients. Because of Cruises International's ongoing support and training, and being part of the Signature Travel Network, our individual business grows significantly by being able to provide clients with the best possible value and an outstanding experience.
