I needed something to do after my construction accident, we found Cruise Planers and it has been one of the most and rewarding things we have ever done. the training, coaches, technology, and home all are great. Any questions can get answered in a day most of the time by coaches. The home office is fantastic, could not ask for more.

I was completely new to the travel industry when I bought my Cruise Planners franchise almost 8 years ago. I'm now selling close to 2 million dollars a year. I think the tools that Cruise Planners gives it's franchisees is what made that possible.

While I work very hard - any business owner has to in order to be successful - Cruise Planners has so many programs in place to help you succeed. They're not going to give you clients, that's your job, but they have a lot of marketing tools that can help you bring in clients. You can build a business from scratch and learn everything you need to know about the travel business if you take advantage of what they have to offer.

I'm so grateful it was the choice I made back in 2016. I could not be happier. They're also very nice, trustworthy people and I believe they truly care about our success.

As a proud Cruise Planners Franchise Owner, I highly recommend the franchise to aspiring entrepreneurs. My experience with the Cruise Planners Office has been nothing short of exceptional. The level of support and dedication from their staff is truly commendable. From day one, I have received valuable guidance that has enabled me to navigate the complexities of the travel industry with confidence. Joining Cruise Planners has not only provided me with a thriving business opportunity but also a supportive community that values growth and collaboration. Plus, I’m having fun learning in this new adventure because they believe in Cruisitude!

I bought my franchise after retiring but not ready to stop working. Cruise Planners gave me all of the tools, training and skills to be a successful franchise. They are so known and respected in the industry. If you say you are with Cruise Planners the suppliers know you are to be taken seriously. They constantly are revamping tools and technology to make your life easier. I would never go anywhere else!

I joined Cruise Planners in 2016 after working with a host agency for a year. I was looking for an agency with excellent marketing and technology. I found this with Cruise Planners! They have excellent technology that saves me hours of time weekly with the social media program and there award winning group programs and reservation system and preferred suppliers relationships and higher commission. Their training is wonderful and they have many courses you can take to continue your education. I have learned so much about the travel industry with Cruise Planners and so glad I decided to go with them!

I started as an associate with a franchise of Cruise Planners back in 2019 before the pandemic hit. I didn't make any sales in 2020 and it wasn't until 2022 when I started really focusing on this work. I sold less than $600 my first year of doing this basically part to full time, and just this year alone have sold over $65k in travel. Cruise Planners has all the best technology, support, commission rates, and training. I truly feel proud to work for such an amazing company that is always staying one step ahead of the travel trends. I've learned so much through the company's trainings, their weekly Live zooms, and just from the CP community. CP Green is famous and it's wonderful to work for a company that people know about or at least have heard of.

I joined Cruise Planners in 1998 after being with a smaller company for 9 years that merged with another company. I have been thrilled with this company ever since. They have never failed to help me and guide me and support me for the last 25 years, and I couldn't be happier. My husband and partner and I joined together until his death in 2021, after which I became the sole franchisee. When he died I received tremendous support and caring from top management on down. Everyone was so nice to me and so patient with me as I took up my husband/partner's part of the business and continued on as a sole proprieter. It was very difficult going through Covid, but they were always there to help, and I am well on my way to having one of my best years ever. The helpful advice I have received enabled me to continue to do my best and be my best. I couldn't be with a better company or better people than I am now.

Best decision my wife and I made was to purchase a Cruise Planners franchise. We both retired early from the Federal Government as financial regulators. We sort of fell into this retirement career from knowing another Cruise Planner travel advisor. We did our due diligence and discovered Cruise Planners was the number one rated home-based travel franchises. The training and support are top notch and the enthusiasm from the management team is infectious and inspiring. Not only do we get to plan vacations for friends and friends of friends, we have had the benefits of traveling the world. It starts slow and with no real magic, other than providing good service, our clientele continues to expand each year. The COVID years were depressing, but we have bounced back with a vengeance, reaching over $1 million in sales for 2023. I’ve met other non-CP agents at various travel events and though our conversations, it has only re-enforced that we made the right decision with our investment with the Cruise Planners family.

I started with Cruise Planners in April of 2023. I had always been interested in travel and I am reaching the age where I am thinking of retiring but I want something to do to have a little income to go with retirement. Someone had said they were a travel agent and I asked them about it and they sent me the link to Cruise Planners. I have been impressed by almost everything that I have looked at. The people that work there truly act like they enjoy what they are doing. Everyone that I talk with about helping me with anything I need help with have been very helpful. While there is more to this business than I have ever imagined I am impressed by how much they have access to and how helpful they are to make me succeed. They are not concerned with how much I do only by how much I want to do and they want to help me accomplish that whether it is a sale a month or the top salesman in the company they will help me to succeed with my goals.
