June 23, 2023

When it comes to niche travel, luxury stands out as one of the most sought-after and captivating options. It offers not only profitability but also a touch of glamour. However, the true power of choosing a niche lies in its ability to cultivate a loyal clientele and drive repeat business. Adam Martindale, a successful franchise owner at Cruise Planners, understands this firsthand. As the leading producer for Oceania Cruises in North America, Martindale has mastered the art of catering to foodies and luxury travelers who are passionate about wine.

While Martindale has found his niche in luxury group travel, he has gone above and beyond by specializing in serving LGBTQ travelers. His commitment to excellence is evident through his takeover of the popular Meet Me Onboard forum, a vibrant platform connecting like-minded travelers. With over 30 years of experience working for renowned cruise lines, luxury hotels, and resorts as a Food and Beverage Director, Martindale knows exactly how choosing a niche can propel a business to extraordinary heights.
