If you love cruising—and who doesn’t love exploring sun-drenched Caribbean beaches or European river towns—here’s a simple truth: you’re already doing half the work that professional travel agents do. You research destinations, compare itineraries, sift through cabins, and navigate booking details. So why pay for that expertise when you can get paid to do it?
Cruising Free, the no-cost program from Cruise Brothers (established in 2010; part of a trusted family agency going back to 1972), empowers everyday travelers—just like you—to become independent travel agents at zero cost—no sign-up fees, no monthly dues, and zero quotas.
You Earn Real Commissions
Every time you book a cruise or land-tour for yourself, friends, or family, you earn 50–70% of the commission from the travel vendor—straight into your pocket. For instance, a $700 cabin might pay $350 in commission—of which $175 could go to you, with nothing taken from your travel budget.
✈️ Discounted & Familiarization Travel
Cruising Free agents gain exclusive access to:
Familiarization trips (“FAMs”), often at reduced rates—or even fully free.
Seminars-at-sea and other discounted industry events
Discounted or complimentary cruises—from inaugural sailings of new ships to vendor-sponsored specials.
Imagine the next time you sail, you could pay far less—or even travel free—all because you’re booking for yourself and earning a commission.
✅ Free Tools & Dedicated Support
Cruising Free provides agents with no-cost access to:
CBAgentTools – a fully equipped booking portal featuring promotional rates, commission tracking, invoicing tools, and a library of trained webinars.
One-on-one coaching – dedicated Team Leaders help you master the tools, guide you through booking your first trips, and help you expand into land tours, group travel, destination weddings—you name it.
Customer care backup – their award-winning corporate team handles client paperwork, travel issues, payments—so you stay focused on growth, not admin .
🎯 Totally Flexible Side Income
There’s no pressure to work full-time. Use Cruising Free as a side hustle, a way to fund your own travels—or grow into something more. As Stella Brewer, a part-time agent, shared:
“For my first attempt … No upfront money required … a bit of a kick back to myself. … Excellent way to try the travel industry without a lot of risk.”
Many agents treat it like a fun weekend project, earning perks and funds while maintaining full-time careers or studies.
👨👩👧 Group Perks & Freebies
Booking group cruises—family reunions, milestone celebrations—also benefits your network. You act as the organizer and get paid for it. Cruising Free supports group bookings with exclusive perks: onboard credit, better cabin placements, and occasionally additional freebies per group.
