Love to Travel? You Might be the Perfect Franchisee at This Company. With Expedia CruiseShipCenters, you'll never work a day if you're passionate about what you do.
Booking travel online can be easy and convenient. We've all done it. But when it comes to booking complex travel like a cruise vacation, it often helps to have the special touch of a real-life, human travel agent. The people behind Expedia CruiseShipCenters realize this and have made it the foundation of their retail travel agency franchise business.
Expedia CruiseShipCenters franchise owners lead and develop a team of vacation consultants who are dedicated to helping cruisegoers in their community navigate every option—from which ship to choose, to which itinerary is best, to meal times, and more—to find the getaway of their dreams. They not only sell cruises but are a full-service retail travel agency selling air, hotels and vacation packages as well.
And they're looking for new franchisees—if you love to travel. "It's really a passion business," says Jeff Warkentin, a Franchise Development Manager for Expedia CruiseShipCenters. "You get to travel, you get to meet people, you get to talk about travel every day." In other words, if you love what you do, you'll never work a day in your life.
Expedia CruiseShipCenters—which is part of the Expedia Group network of travel brands—started franchising in 1987 and has more than 255 retail travel agency locations throughout North America. Initial investment will run a franchisee between about $165,000 and $282,000, including the franchise fee of $39,000 and 18 to 36 months of working capital.
