Turn Hours of Cruise Package Building into Minutes

Still juggling multiple supplier sites, spreadsheets, and daily pricing updates just to get one cruise package live?

Cruisetek is Traveltek’s advanced cruise packaging product, built for travel businesses that want to create their own distinctive cruise packages and get them to market fast. What used to take a product team the best part of a day can be done in minutes. Everything runs from one platform, packages price themselves live, and your website updates automatically.

Cruisetek works seamlessly alongside iSell. While iSell’s built-in cruise packaging lets agents present options dynamically after a customer selects a sailing, Cruisetek goes further, letting you pre-build, curate, and brand complete cruise packages as your own product, with full commercial control over what’s promoted and at what margin.

Who Is Cruisetek For?

Cruisetek is designed for travel businesses that want to sell their own packaged cruise product, not just act as a booking intermediary.

It’s ideal for:

Tour operators building branded cruise packages

Cruise-specialist travel agencies who want more control over their product and margins

Product, commercial, and marketing teams who need to react quickly to cruise line deals

Businesses already using iSell who want to take their cruise offering to the next level

Any travel company tired of the daily spreadsheet, multi-tab, supplier-portal grind

With Cruisetek, you can cut that in half on average – freeing your team to focus on what actually generates revenue.

“When we launched our cruise division, we had a choice: spend 12-18 months building a booking engine and integrating multiple Cruise API’s or invest that time creating the premium customer experience that would set us apart.

Partnering with Traveltek meant we were live in 14 weeks, and every pound we saved on backend technology will be  invested in service and product that our customers actually care about. We are excited for the future of our cruise division.”

Si Morris-Green, Director of Cruise, On the Beach

“Working with Traveltek has been a true partnership in every sense. They don’t just provide technology, they actively listen to our frontline teams and Independence Group members to understand the real challenges they face daily.

Quote Builder is the perfect example of this collaborative approach. From the initial conversations through to development, Traveltek worked hand-in-hand with our staff, building the tool based on their direct feedback and real-world needs. The result is a solution that genuinely makes our teams’ jobs easier and helps them deliver better service to our customers. It’s refreshing to work with a technology partner who sees us as collaborators, not just clients.”

Jonathon Woodall-Johnston, COO, Hays Travel

“I was amazed by Cruisetek when I first started at Traveltek. I have over 20 years’ experience in the travel industry across sales, operations, product, and account management, with TUI, the Titan Group, and cruise.co.uk, so I know first-hand what it’s like to build and sell cruise packages the hard way. To think of how many packages I could have built in half the time, with less admin and no spreadsheets, that would have been a big win.”

Hayley West, Head of Partnerships, Traveltek

Since joining Traveltek, I’ve not stopped challenging myself. I’ve had the opportunity to work on a number of projects solving complex problems which in turn promotes my personal growth and development. The people here are really helpful and supportive and work together as a team to provide innovative solutions for our customers. We’re going through a major transformation of our product range and I’m excited to be a part of this evolution.

Shona McKenzie, Software Developer

“I have had an amazing first few months working at Traveltek, helped of course by the super friendly and helpful people here. The collaboration is brilliant; from product workstreams, idea workshops (innovative ideas collected across all departments) and listening to feedback from customers. The ‘Vision’ is clear here and working on making that a reality makes it an exciting place to be.”

Claire Thomson, Product Manager

“I joined Traveltek 2 years ago and it has been an amazing experience so far. I’ve been part of some incredible projects and picked up really great skills along the way. Everyone is really helpful and being in the role of a Systems/DevOps Engineer has exposed me to technology and processes I was not familiar with in the past (coming from a more traditional Sysadmin role). I’m always learning new skills at Traveltek and I’m enjoying being part of such a hardworking and great team.”

Tony Malek, IT Systems Engineer

“When we were looking at partners to work with, Traveltek was the clear choice. Their years of experience and commitment to delivering a world-class product, made our decision easy.”

Cruise Planners

“By adding the CruiseConnect platform to our growing technology offerings, we are providing our members a booking tool that will create efficiencies in the ever-expanding cruise segment.”

Mast Travel

“We have used iSell for over 6 years, and it has proven to be the ideal travel software solution for our business and now powers the entire booking journey from quote to booking, CRM, documentation and mid-office finance.”

Island Escapes, Australia

“Traveltek’s Cruise Website Builder has significantly streamlined our cruise booking processes for the Odyssey Travel App website, making our sales and marketing of the major cruise lines more efficient and user-friendly. The night and day difference in our product offerings sets us up for success thanks to the customizable search features and beautiful interface we now have. It’s truly world class and was years ahead of what my team could have developed ourselves. The support from the Traveltek team has exceeded our expectations, ensuring a smooth and successful implementation.”

Stephen Scott – Founder/CEO, Travel Hub 365 & the Odyssey Travel App

How Cruisetek Works

Cruisetek’s packaging model is built around cruise clusters: pre-configured sets of pre- and post-cruise options that attach to your chosen sailings. Here’s how it works in practice:
Create sets of pre- and post-cruise options, as simple or as complex as your business needs. Each cluster can contain any combination of flights, hotels, transfers, and attraction options. You might build a simple two-option cluster for a popular Caribbean departure, or a detailed multi-hotel cluster for a Mediterranean sailing with multiple embarkation ports. This process takes just minutes.
You’re in full control of what gets surfaced and how. Promote a specific, margin-boosting hotel. Return multiple results ordered by price or class. Showcase a range of accommodation levels (3-5 star), transfer types (private or scheduled), and flight options – all within one search. There are no limitations on how your results are structured.
Once clusters are built, you attach them to the specific sailings you want to package. This gives you a curated product range, not an unfiltered list. And if a package is selling well, you can replicate it instantly across different cruise lines and dates. No starting from scratch, no new spreadsheets.
When a booker enters the customer’s criteria, Cruisetek runs live searches across your chosen suppliers, retrieves available options, and presents everything on screen as a single packaged price in one click. Live pricing. No checking cabin portals. No mental arithmetic on margins. And the package goes straight to your B2C website automatically.

Cruisetek works inside iSell - no separate system to learn

If your team already uses iSell, Cruisetek sits natively within it. No new platform to log into, no additional training from scratch. Your bookers work in the system they already know.

What Cruisetek Delivers for Your Business

A product your competitors can't easily copy

Building your own curated packages, with your chosen hotels, flights, and transfers, at your own margins, means your cruise product is genuinely distinct. You’re not selling the same thing as every other agency with access to the same supplier catalogue.

Meaningful time savings across your team

Up to 8 hours of manual work is reduced to minutes per package. That’s the time your product team gets back to developing new offerings, your sales team gets back to closing more deals, and your website gets fresh content automatically.

Better margin management

Optional. Recommended if you want to load your own flight or hotel inventory alongside live supplier content within clusters.

A sales team that can actually sell

When packages are pre-built, priced live, and sitting ready in the system, your agents can focus on the customer conversation rather than scrambling for information. Shorter calls, faster decisions, more bookings.
