Windstar Cruises is investing in technology to make it easier for travel advisors to do business with the small ship line, announcing a new integration with its first booking engine partner - Revelex.
Revelex aggregates cruise inventory (across 40+ major lines) and makes it seamless for advisors to book cruises on a global scale, all in one online location.
“Revelex’s Power Agent 5 offers access to a global cruise API, allowing our travel advisor customers greater control of the booking process,” explains Revelex Senior Vice President of Sales Joe Romans. “The Revelex solution is customizable for travel advisors to be able to pull web and private fares, search and book multiple cruise products, apply mark-ups and discounts with a yield management tool, and make post-booking modifications. We’re thrilled to add Windstar’s cruise products to our system and ensure an additional, easy pathway for booking.”
Windstar’s Chief Commercial Officer Janet Bava is excited for the additional booking engine and option for engaging with Windstar’s award-winning boutique cruises, citing Revelex’s appeal to advisors who already use the platform and its global reach.
“This new integration further cements our commitment to the travel trade industry as we do everything possible to create a trouble-free and streamlined booking process,” Bava says. “We’ve been searching for and identifying the best and most impactful ways to increase our distribution worldwide, and adding Revelex is an ideal way to expand our global footprint and help make more travel partners aware of the magic that is Windstar and see the broad range of destinations we sail such as the Mediterranean, Tahiti and Caribbean.”
