CruiseOne

Your Own CruiseOne Travel Business

 Launched in 1992 in the US CruiseOne’s franchise model has revolutionized the cruise and travel industries. In combination with its parent company World Travel Holdings (WTH) it has become the world’s largest distributor of cruise holidays with the unrivalled buying power that brings.  CruiseOne has over 720 independently owned travel franchise operations within the US.

In June 2010 WTH acquired a significant interest in the UK's fastest growing and award-winning cruise retail business Cruise118 - which now operates as a subsidiary of WTH (UK).

Cruise118’s two principal directors, James Cole and Mal Barritt, have over 25 years experience in the travel industry and the company’s management team have well over 50 years experience in the cruise travel market specifically. Cruise118 has built a business based on the strongest service ethics where “Exceptional is Standard” and has created the proprietary concept of "iCruiseConcierge".

It has now been decided to develop a CruiseOne franchise network specifically for the UK cruise and holiday market utilising the expertise, technology, systems and business relationships of Cruise118.

Purchasing a cruise and travel agency franchise from CruiseOne would make you part of this exciting and innovative company giving you the opportunity to build your own business using award-winning marketing programs and having access to a unrivalled support. CruiseOne Franchise owners will have a set of business building tools unmatched by any of the competition.

The CruiseOne franchise suits people from a wide variety of social and professional backgrounds but they will all have certain things in common – an interest in cruise and travel, a desire to succeed in creating and operating their own business and an opportunity to determine their own performance-related rewards. 

A CruiseOne franchise offers you the choice of running an office or home-based travel business with low initial investment and low operating overheads.  Whilst it allows the opportunity to work from home it also allows you the option of growing the business and to opening an office or even working from a retail store.  The choice of where to run the business is up to you and the only facility you need to supply to get started is a phone line and high-speed internet access.
Your CruiseOne franchise will include access to unrivalled buying power within the cruise industry and to deals and packages not available anywhere else. Your franchise also gives you the confidence of joining a family with sister brands that include cruise118.com, sailfromuk.com, alaskaonly.com, sixstarcruises.co.uk and cruises.com.  

A CruiseOne franchise business is yours to grow, manage and build and one which will directly reward you for your own efforts, determination and success.  The client database that you grow belongs to the franchise business for as long as you run it or until such time that you may decide to sell it on.  

You will have access to up-to-the minute cruise line and travel pricing together with proprietary systems and management information allowing you to operate your business efficiently.  You will also have access to the WTH (UK) team based in Chorley, Lancashire and a dedicated franchise support infrastructure.
