A travel advisor does not push or convince people to take vacations.

People don't need help deciding to take a vacation. They need help deciding where to go, when to go, how to get there, what to do, and who to travel with.

Learning how to provide that kind of help is the foundation of our Navigator's Approach to Selling.

We teach you to focus on building relationships, earning trust, asking thoughtful questions, and understanding what matters most to your customers. Once you understand where a customer wants to go, why they want to go, who they're traveling with, and what kind of experience they're looking for, helping them make a decision becomes much easier.

As advisors grow, they continue developing their knowledge and expertise through ship inspections, destination training, our Cruise to Success program, supplier familiarization trips, annual Luxury Symposiums, and other opportunities that provide the invaluable "I've been there, done that, see here's the T-shirt" kind of real-world experience.

When you've been there and done that, you're not selling a vacation. You're sharing your experience. You don't need to talk anyone into taking a vacation. You just need to help them find the vacation they're already dreaming about.

So no, you don't have to lock your sister in the kitchen. Just open the back door and show her the world waiting outside.
