Cruise Planners, headed by Michelle Fee, has a new consortia affiliation with Signature Travel Network. The move comes as American Express’ Travel Representative program is due to close at the end of this year. Cruise Planners had been affiliated with American Express for 18 years.
In a statement published in part by Cruise Week, Cruise Planners says:
After a lengthy and careful research process, Cruise Planners announced they will join the Signature Travel Network effective September 29, 2022.
The decision to join Signature came down to shared values that Cruise Planners believes will enhance the travel experience for clients of their 2500-strong home-based travel agent franchise network.
“We feel strongly that this is the right direction for our company,” said Michelle Fee, CEO and co-founder of Cruise Planners. “There are many complementary programs that Signature offers that will elevate the Cruise Planners brand and give advisors an extra edge to propel their business.”
