Become a Cruise Seller
Turn your love of cruising into income. Sell cruises from home with some of the highest commissions in travel, a low cost to start, and hands-on guidance from a cruise seller who sold his first cruise in 1972.
Cruising is the fastest-growing corner of travel — and one of the most rewarding to sell. Cruise lines pay generous commissions, reward group business, and love working with sellers who know their product. You do not need a storefront, inventory, or a background in travel: you need a host agency, some training, and a passion for cruising. We help you get all three and start earning.
Why Sell Cruises?
High commissions
Cruise lines pay among the best rates in travel — commonly 10–16% of the cruise fare, before group credits and supplier bonuses.
Low cost to start
No storefront, no inventory, no employees. Begin with a low annual membership through a host agency and keep the bulk of what you earn.
Work from anywhere
Run your cruise business from home, on your own schedule — full-time, part-time, or as a growing side income.
Booming demand
More people are cruising than ever, and they want an expert to guide them. That expert can be you.
What You Get
Host-agency placement
We match you with a reputable host agency that gives you accreditation, supplier access and commission payments — chosen to fit your goals.
Cruise specialist training
Cruise-line certification programs and practical training so you can sell every major line with confidence.
Booking tools & support
The systems, rates and back-office support that let you quote and book like a seasoned pro from day one.
Mentorship
Guidance from cruise-selling veterans — including the founder of this program — as you land your first bookings and grow.
Commissions & Earning Potential
Cruise is one of the highest-commission products in all of travel, and the earnings compound as you build repeat clients and group business.
A handful of bookings a month makes a comfortable side income; a loyal client base, repeat cruisers and group departures can turn cruise selling into a full-time living. Group bookings are especially powerful — they multiply a single effort across many cabins and earn free "tour-conductor" credits on top of commission.

Becoming a Cruise Seller — Frequently Asked Questions
How much can I earn selling cruises?
Cruise lines pay some of the highest commissions in travel — typically 10–16% of the cruise fare, before group credits and supplier bonuses. Your income scales with how much you sell: a few bookings a month is a nice side income; a repeat client base and group business can become a full-time living.
What does it cost to get started?
Far less than almost any other business — no storefront, no inventory, no employees. You start with a low annual membership through a host agency, work from home, and keep the bulk of every commission you earn. We help you choose a plan that fits your goals.
Do I need experience or a license?
No prior experience is required, and selling cruises does not require a license in most of the U.S. You get training and cruise-line "specialist" certifications through your host agency. What helps most is a love of cruising and a willingness to learn — the rest we help you build.
What is a host agency and why do I need one?
A host agency gives you the accreditation, supplier relationships and commission payments you cannot get on your own, plus booking tools, training and support. You sell under their umbrella and keep your share of every commission. We place you with a reputable host that fits your plans.
Independent or hosted — what is the difference?
Independent agents run their own business but need a host agency for accreditation and supplier access. "Hosted" simply means you operate under that host. It is the fastest, lowest-cost way to start selling cruises professionally, which is why we recommend it for almost everyone new to the field.
How do I start selling cruises?
Tell us your goals and we will match you with the right host agency and get you trained and selling. Most new cruise sellers can make their first booking within weeks.
