About Expedia Cruises
Expedia Cruises Franchisees own and operate a full-service retail travel agency that's connected to their local community - backed by the most recognized travel brand in the world - Expedia. Each Expedia Cruises location is a full-service leisure travel agencys that helps customers book All-Inclusive Resorts, Coach & Rail Tours, Vacation Packages, Homes & Villas, Insurance, Flights, Hotels, and Activities. Plus, Expedia Cruises franchisees enjoy tremendous buying power with every cruise line and land supplier. This means that they'll earn some of the highest commissions in the industry. A single franchise location can be continuously scaled over time as the Franchise Owner grows their team of Vacation Consultants (travel agents) who sell travel on their behalf from the store, or their home offices.
