With our accreditation, you’re authorized to take additional training programs – such as Royal Caribbean University – which is a complimentary virtual program straight from the source.  These courses are only accessible to travel agents and will guide you through Royal Caribbean’s ships, amenities, destinations, etc.  You’ll get insider information on new products or promotions, authorized marketing material, and access to exclusive travel agent booking systems.

Experts don’t learn everything in books – and Cruise Vacation Experts typically cruise!  While a “free cruise” isn’t what you’re going to get, graduates of the University and sellers of Royal Caribbean are also eligible for exclusive travel agent offers and other perks!

And Royal Caribbean is just one example – Many cruise lines offer similar training programs and perks to their travel agent partners!  The Cruise Industry loves Travel Agents & we love them!
