Anyone interested in the travel industry most likely know of Expedia CruiseShipCenters and their franchise opportunity. After all, with the costs of fuel going up, people want to get the most for their money. The cruise industry is a place where people can find specific things they’re looking for from a vacation, for everyone on the trip. It’s customizable to needs, and cruises are becoming the way most people want to enjoy their vacation.

Their opportunity comes with 2 different categories. There are the Retail Franchise Partners and the Home-based Franchise partners.

Retail Franchise Partners get to enjoy a business within their community and a team of Cruise Consultants to help them reach the best sales possible. The start up cost averages between $25,000 and $40,000 with a total investment that can reach up to $130,000.

The Home-based Franchise Partners are able to work from their own home office. Just because they’re working out of their home does not mean they won’t be able to have people employed under them. Through this a home-based franchise partner can act as a host agency and employ other Cruise Consultants as independent contractors. The start up cost with this opportunity is $4000 with a total investment up to $10,000.
