Becoming a travel advisor doesn’t require years of travel experience or existing accreditation. Cruise Planners’ proven franchise business model empowers you to start your own agency with full support and training from day one.

If you’re ready to become a certified travel agent, explore the Travel Agent Certification Program to see how professional training helps you stand out from the competition.
Accreditation That Opens Doors
To be officially recognized by travel suppliers, agencies typically need accreditation codes from organizations like CLIA or IATA.
These codes give travel professionals the ability to book directly with airlines, cruise lines, and other suppliers.
Cruise Planners Franchise holds both Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) and International Air Transport Association (IATA) memberships. This means our franchise owners benefit from:
- Shared buying power through Cruise Planners’ collective revenue
- Access to exclusive supplier deals and perks
- Higher commission levels than independent agents typically earn
In other words, you’ll get all the advantages of being part of a powerful, accredited network—without having to meet revenue minimums on your own.
The Power of a Recognized Travel Agency Franchise Brand
Brand recognition matters. Cruise Planners’ national reputation and established relationships across the travel industry help franchise owners earn trust quickly.
Unlike starting a business from scratch, you’ll have the benefit of a proven system that combines strong partnerships, technology, and marketing under one respected name.
Discover how the Cruise Planners Model helps new franchise owners build their client base faster with professional tools and world-class branding support.
Continuous Travel Agency Franchise Training and Support
Cruise Planners’ success is built on ongoing education. Every franchise owner begins with STAR University, a comprehensive six-day, in-person travel agent training in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
You’ll also receive continuous guidance through Cruisitude® Academy and additional educational resources from CLIA—ensuring you always stay ahead of industry trends.
And because Cruise Planners is a home-based travel franchise, you can work from anywhere while having direct access to our Business Development Coaches, who serve as mentors to help you grow at your own pace.
