Windstar Cruises is stepping up its technology game to make it easier for travel advisors to do business with the small ship line, today announcing a new integration with its first booking engine partner, Revelex.
Revelex, known for aggregating cruise inventory across more than 40 major lines, offers a seamless platform for advisors to book cruises globally, all in one online location. This new partnership is set to revolutionize the booking process for travel advisors working with Windstar.
“Revelex’s Power Agent 5 offers access to a global cruise API, allowing our travel advisor customers greater control of the booking process,” explains Joe Romans, Revelex Senior Vice President of Sales. “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 expressed her enthusiasm for the new booking engine and its potential to enhance engagement with Windstar’s award-winning boutique cruises. She emphasized the appeal of Revelex to advisors who already use the platform and its expansive 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 said. “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 the Caribbean.”
With this integration, travel advisors can expect a more efficient and flexible booking process, enhancing their ability to offer Windstar’s unique and immersive cruise experiences to clients worldwide. This partnership is a significant step forward in Windstar’s ongoing efforts to support and empower the travel trade industry.
