Love Cruising? Make It a Career

Cruise knowledge is valuable. Travel advisors who specialize in cruises help clients choose the right line, ship and cabin — and are paid commission by the cruise lines. Many work from home, full-time or part-time.

  • Learn the product: ships, lines, destinations and fares.
  • Get trained and certified: the cruise industry offers recognized advisor training and certifications.
  • Join a host agency for booking systems, commissions and support.
  • Build a client base through your own network and referrals.
