We help home based agencies and small agencies better travel the road to success through our innovative seminars at sea.

Here are some examples of our training seminars*:

* Not all seminars are taught on every sailing. Check each sailing to see the seminars being taught!

Requirement - At one person in each cabin must send in a copy of their IATAN, OSSN, TRAVEL SELLERS, TRUE, CLIA or ASTA ID card for proof of eligibility when they register. Failure to do so will result in their rate being billed at the public rate.

Please Note - Remember our agreement with the cruise lines is that attendance is mandatory for our rates to be valid. Should you sign up for our Seminars at Sea and do not attend there is an additional $100 per person charged! Our Seminars at Sea are working vacations but yes they are still vacations! We average 8 to 12 hours of training per sailing, mostly in the morning and mostly on days at sea. Plus we will offer lots of networking opportunities for the attendees.

Check out each Seminar at Sea schedule for a list of topics taught on each sailing. *Note that unlike other seminars at sea with Travel Agency Solutions the seminars we have scheduled will take place on each sailing as long as we have a minimum of 2 agents attending.
