Link 24/7 to each cruise line’s reservation system and full content agreements. Offer your customers identical content to what the cruise lines offer through their own channels. Sabre Cruises also allows you to access all applicable negotiated rates.
Easy to use
The tool is broswer-based, so no formats are needed.
Add value to each booking
Designed with the agent’s workflow in mind, information is integrated naturally into the standard booking path. This includes pre- and post-sailing packages, selling upgrades and amenities, the ability to prepay gratuities, and noting special occasions in the reservation.
Lead-in pricing: ‘Best Available Fare’ now displays for inside, ocean view, balcony, and suite cabin categories on the sailing results page. This enables you to better match your client’s needs with each sailing without needing to click around.
Individual passenger selections
Choose options such as cruise line insurance and pre- and post-sailing packages at a passenger level so you can meet the individual needs of all your clients.
Save your specific agent preferences
No need to retype them with every booking. Items such as preferred sailing region, maximum number of sailings per page, preferred country of residence, and agent name and telephone number will automatically populate for you based on settings you select.
