Elevating River Cruises with Shorex by Travelive

About This Webinar

A river cruise may be the centerpiece of your clients' European vacation, but there's so much more to the journey than the time they spend on board. From exploring a destination with a private local guide to spending a few extra days in a city they've always wanted to visit, every sailing presents opportunities to create something truly personal.

And for travel advisors, those opportunities mean happier clients, additional commission, and more ways to make each booking your own.

Join the Travelive team for an informative webinar where we'll explore how you can make more of every river cruise booking, with practical ideas and firsthand insights from our destination experts.**

Here's what we'll cover

- Private shore excursions that offer something different:** Give your clients a more personalized alternative to the cruise line's group excursions, with private guides, flexible experiences, and itineraries tailored to their interests.

- More commission opportunities:** Learn how to earn 15% commission on private shore excursions and generate additional revenue through pre- and post-cruise arrangements.

- Pre- and post-cruise stays worth extending for:** Explore ways to turn embarkation and disembarkation cities into memorable parts of the vacation, with private touring, carefully selected hotels, and experiences your clients may never have considered.

- Seamless connections between land and river:** See how we coordinate private transfers, accommodations, touring, and logistics around cruise schedules, taking the complexity out of planning for you and your clients.

- Local expertise across Europe:** Meet the advantage of working with Travelive's dedicated destination teams, who know the ports, cities, hidden gems, and experiences that make each itinerary special.

- Flexibility to create something truly personal:** Whether your clients want a culinary experience, a cultural immersion, a private family excursion, or a luxury extension, learn how we tailor each arrangement to their travel style, interests, and budget.
