Expedia Cruises Franchise Information

Business Model

Expedia Cruises retail locations allow franchisees to build a team of independent Vacation Consultants who share their knowledge and work together to drive sales. As an Expedia Cruises franchise owner, you support your travel agents and earn a share of the commissions – the bigger and more successful your team is, the stronger your financial return.

Key Benefits
  • Build equity in a scalable retail business, backed by one of the largest travel brands in the world – Expedia
  • Join forces with a proven franchise system with more than 35 years of success
  • 30+ million cruise passengers expected to board ships in 2023
  • 100+ member corporate support team dedicated to helping you build out your Center and achieve your business goals
  • Funding and financing options available to franchisees
Marketing Support
  • Marketing tools to help create customizable marketing material
  • In-house produced flyers
  • Email marketing and support
  • Social media marketing and support
  • Assistance with Center Events
Training Programs

During your location build-out, you’ll simultaneously be learning the ins and outs of the travel industry and attending a week-long intensive training session, called Cruise Management Academy (CMA), at the Vancouver corporate office. During CMA you’ll take a deep dive into the entire Expedia Cruises system and connect with Subject Matter Experts who will answer any questions you may have.

In addition to CMA, Expedia Cruises has established a sales training program called The Navigators Approach. This step-by-step sales methodology was developed exclusively for Expedia Cruises and to help franchisees teach their Vacation Consultants how to sell travel, even if they don’t come from a sales background. With a suite of leadership tools and train-the-trainer workshops for franchisees, you will be able to deliver The Navigators Approach with confidence.
