Cruisingexcursions.com, which features approximately 12,000 excursions at more than 700 ports worldwide, has launched a new online tool that allows travel agents to create shore excursion e-brochures for their customers.

The tool generates a PDF brochure that is personalised with customer and agent name and contact details. All excursions are commissionable to agents.

Included in the PDF brochure are a range of excursions with prices for each port of call for the chosen itinerary. The excursions are from the range of Essential Collection excursions, which give guests access to the key sites at a port of call, as well as private and tailored experiences. Agents can also offer ‘Port Packages’ deals, which are bundles from three onwards.

To create a brochure, an agent needs to log-in to the cruisingexcursions.com’s website and select the ‘create PDF’ option and enter the customer’s cruise line, ship, date of departure and duration of cruise. The agent can also send an email with the personalised shore excursion brochure to their customers.

Cruisingexcursion.com’s COO Simonne Fairbanks said: “Agents are absolutely key to our company’s success and cruisingexcursions.com offers great commission – up to 16%. The new customer personalised brochure facility, developed especially for agents, allows agents to maximise each and every cruise booking they make. It’s a great sales tool.

“Suggestions are made for each port visited on the cruise and the excursions can be selected individually or as part of a multi-port package, giving the customer super value. Presenting a customer with the personalised brochure is really excellent customer service.”
