CRUISEHQ is celebrating its first anniversary, marking a year defined by “exceptional performance, strategic partnerships and unwavering trade support”, the company said.
The Flight Centre Travel Group (FCTG) wholesale cruise marketplace has achieved significant growth over its first 12 months (CW 17 Apr 2024), expanding its product portfolio, and building relationships with key partners across the industry.
CruiseHQ draws on extensive expertise across air, land and sea from FCTG’s product portfolio, which enables it to curate a diverse portfolio of cruise holidays, combining premium product with competitive pricing and exclusive inclusions.
The wholesaler’s introduction was first revealed by Cruise Weekly almost two years ago (CW 30 Aug 2023), amid FCTG’s plans to scale up its cruise business – which also included the reintroduction of the Cruiseabout brand (CW 24 Aug 2023).
“What we’ve accomplished in our first year is a reflection of the strength of our partnerships and the confidence the industry has placed in us,” General Manager Caroline Hitchen told CW.
“We are proud to have built a platform that is trusted, effective and constantly evolving to meet the needs of our partners
“We’re excited for what lies ahead and remain committed to creating lasting value for our travel partners and suppliers, both in Australia and beyond,” she added. MS
