| CMG’s World Wide Cruise Centres

Cruise Marketing Group has
signed up 25 affiliate travel
agents for its new operation
designed to increase sales and
return on investment.
NOW available to all Australian travel
consultants, World Wide Cruise Centres
(WWCC) partnerships are offering additional
agent commission at point-of-sale on a wide
range of product.
The extra commission is payable on product
offered by a developing network of preferred
suppliers as well as the company’s wholesale
division, Seven Oceans Cruising, and GSA
operation Cruise Abroad.
Seven Oceans Cruising brings exclusive
packages for cruise-tour, fly-cruise and cruiseonly
products across most cruise lines, while
Cruise Abroad can present special offers on
behalf of Croisi-Europe, Fred Olsen Cruise
Lines, Cruise & Maritime Voyages Marco Polo,
Star Cruises and Norwegian Cruise Lines.
Other benefits include a dedicated and
personalised website, exclusive territories,
sales aids, training, subsidised advertising and
other promotional and operational
opportunities.
Cruise Marketing Group announced the new
venturethis week and confirmed that a
partnership with WWCC does not require
agents to cease any of their current
relationships or affiliations within their
business.
“This operation is perfect for all agents, but
especially for those who have enthusiasm to
increase their cruise business, but are not
quite sure how to go about it at this time,”
Fred Sparksman, managing director, WWCC,
told CW.
John Simos, managing director of Seven
Oceans Cruising, said that he was most
impressed with the revenues already
generated by the new group and is looking
forward to more agents joining WWCC.
Peter Marshall, managing director, Cruise
Abroad, said he believed the opportunity
exists for agents to “benefit greatly from the
brands represented”, especially Croisi-Europe
which provides the largest range of river cruise
product in Europe, plus new operations in Asia.
WWCC also offers agents access to its small
ship cruising range as an added benefit “to
make sales in this very lucrative section of the
cruise market”.
