North America’s Full-Service Retail Host Travel Agency Franchise
Expedia Cruises provides a recognized brand and industry resources to support its franchise network.
Expedia Cruises™ began franchising in 1987 and is a leading seller of travel in North America. Our network of retail host travel agency franchises is rapidly expanding, with over 260 locations currently open or under development. Our growth is driven by three overarching factors:
- The power of the Expedia brand allows us to capture new shoppers and turn them into life-long customers. Plus, some cruise inquiries from Expedia.com and Expedia.ca are sent to our franchise locations
- Our proven business model is affordable to start and extremely scalable
- Our omnichannel approach, and deep integration with Expedia, makes for a seamless booking experience
