Run your own business from home, the way you want to...
Running your own business, from
your home, the way you want
to, is one of the most rewarding
things you can do, and the cruise
industry – as the fastest growing
sector of the UK travel industry – is a
fantastic, fun industry to be involved
in. No longer the unreachable dream
it used to be, cruising is now seen as
an ideal alternative to a land-based
holiday or short break and you can
reap the rewards of this growing
sector as part of the GoCruise
franchisee business.
GoCruise and its parent company
Fred. Olsen Travel developed a
passion for cruising while the industry
was in the early stages of its dynamic
growth and we are now one of the
UK’s leading specialists in our field.
With us, you can get on with the
business of selling and building those
all-important relationships with your
customers, safe in the knowledge that
your business has all the ABTA and
ATOL protection you need to satisfy
your clients. As part of a franchise, you never
have to feel isolated, and you’ll be
hard pushed to find a franchisor
that enjoys what they do as much as
GoCruise. We love getting to know
each and every one of our franchisees
as we welcome them into our
GoCruise family. With a support team ready and
waiting at the end of the phone
to offer guidance on business
development, industry regulations,
sales or marketing and an admin team
taking care of all those hard earned
bookings; our franchisees are never
in doubt that they are very much part
of a team. This team experience is
nurtured throughout the year with
various events, and conferences
organised for the whole franchisee
network to meet, share experiences,
have a little fun and get a few helpful
tips from those who have already
‘been there and done that’.
Whilst previous travel industry
experience is not always essential,
having the necessary skills,
commercial awareness and business
acumen required for running a
successful agency is vital. Joining a
franchise such as GoCruise, where you
have access to product training, ship
visits, a full administration service and
support on business development,
marketing and ecommerce, will
provide you with everything you need
to be successful – add to this your
drive and determination and business
growth will soon follow!
• Membership of the Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA)
• Affiliation to the Association of British Travel Agents (ABTA)
• Access to full ATOL bonding when tailor making packages
• A franchise zone encompassing on average a quarter of a million people

Ocean & River Cruising
I believe that your holiday experience should start with the service you receive from initial contact through to being welcomed home. The detail that precedes your holiday is key to ensuring everything runs smoothly, so I focus on
getting that right. I have more than 15 years of cruising experience, and have also visited many other ships, both ocean and river, to enhance my cruising knowledge. I also do online training with many of the cruise lines, to keep up to date with what is
new in the industry. I am not tied to any one cruise or travel company, which allows me to understand your requirements and find the right holiday for you. There are so many choices. I am dedicated to giving you the right holiday at the right price. Giving you the holiday that you deserve is my goal. I have many loyal customers who have gone on to recommend me to friends, family and fellow cruisers. I
cannot think of a greater recognition of my service and I appreciate this loyalty.
I have ABTA & ATOL bonding, for your financial protection and peace of mind.
There are no debit card charges and no hidden booking fees when you book your holiday with me.

As an independent cruise consultant, and not tied to selling cruises with any specific company, I can help you find your ideal cruise whichever company it is with. My aim is always to book the right cruise for you.I have personally cruised with many different cruise lines, both ocean and river, and also make a point of visiting ships in port to give me a better understanding of what the differences are. This helps me to find you the right cruise. While onboard I always try to get photos and videos, which are available to view on my website www.cruiseswithgocruise.co.uk.The river Nile, being the longest river in the world, is a real interest of mine, and I have a dedicated website www.nilecruiseswithgocruise.co.uk to give you more information on cruising the Nile, and land based holidays in Egypt.
I understand that while many of my customers love cruising, they also like to try different holiday experiences, whether it is a luxury beach hotel & spa, an escorted tour, or perhaps something more bespoke. So I have put together this leaflet to show you some of the holiday companies and cruise lines I can offer you...

We had a three day training course at Head Office. We learned about
product knowledge, administration and the systems. They talk you
through your own business and all the aspects of it, such as sales and
marketing. They give you a good feel for that.
Ted Knights — GoCruise Franchisee
The Head Office team take care of all the administration leaving
me to focus on building the business, selling, and looking after my
customers. This ability to give the personal touch and customer
service does make all the difference.
Martin Hay — GoCruise Franchisee
The franchise means I can combine my enthusiasm for travel with a
business. With opportunities to visit ships and travel the world, I can
