It’s Cruise Travel Month! At PTS we believe that every travel business is unique in both itself and the support it requires. This is especially true for our wonderful cruise travel businesses that come in a great variety.

Is Cruise Your Next Venture?

And now that Cruise Week is approaching, you may be considering how cruise could be a great asset to you. Maybe you want to start a cruise business from scratch. Maybe you want to expand into cruise travel. Regardless of how you want to introduce cruise, it can be a daunting decision to make. Equally, it can be an incredibly profitable one.

Our team at PTS are always excited for Cruise Week to come around in September. This week gives us the opportunity to help our members make the most out of cruise. Some of the biggest bookings that our members make are cruise bookings. With transport, accommodation, activities, and more in one booking, most customers will spend more on cruise than an average holiday abroad.

Unfortunately, a lot of travel businesses or travel professionals find cruise quite intimidating to sell. As a result, you might be missing out on some wonderful holidays that could be supporting the growth of your business. Plus, cruise could be the exact luxury customers are looking for.

So, if you are looking to start a cruise travel business, or make cruise travel a part of your already established business, you may be hesitating because cruise travel can be intimidating. If you are concerned about getting into cruise, PTS may be the right supportive fit to give you the security you need to make that next big step.

How PTS Supports Cruise Travel Members

It is because of the different needs of each business that our team at PTS strive to provide not just a support system, but a foundation. Whether your business is deeply passionate specifically about winter cruises, destinations, the luxury onboard, or simply taking excited travellers on a relaxing journey. The PTS foundation is designed to give you all the tools you may need to grow your business without restrictions.  

This applies to all our members big and small. We understand that for many cruise travel businesses, their experience and expertise are not necessarily in running a business or travel as a whole, but in the experienced onboard and the fabulous ships themselves. That is why our support is designed with complete simplicity and user-comfort in mind.

What PTS Support Entails

The cruise travel members of PTS have complete freedom to run their business exactly how they want to without PTS constricting them. They are ensured to be 100% Package Travel Regulations compliant, retain most of their profits with low fees, and have access to game-changing services at competitive prices.  

Understanding the needs of our members without forcing you to make sacrifices means our travel experts are always improving how we support your business. That’s why we work with associations, niche suppliers, and other travel experts to provide the most suitable support for every member so that we can keep up with the ever-changing landscape of travel and how that affects our cruise members. 

At the core of PTS’s support, we ensure that your clients can trust in the fabulous experiences your cruise travel business provides. With a travel trust account that protects both your monies and their monies efficiently and transparently, being a PTS member doesn’t just mean your business gets some of the best support in the UK travel industry, but so do your consumers.  

We provide one-stop software, competitive rates on currency hedging and merchant services, our Franchise ATOL, and a database of supplier partners that we trust so all the tricky tasks your business may face can be as simple and stress-free as possible and you can focus on the holidays that you’re passionate about. With easy integration and expert help with ATOL applications, familiarising yourself with the system, and beyond you can continue selling fantastic holidays without difficulty.
