Bahamas Paradise Cruise Line partnered with TravTech’s integrated booking application Cruisebase, opening the gateway for sales by online travel agencies.

Cruise.com became the first leading OTA to offer seamless booking for the line with the Cruisebase software addition.

Easy online booking

Cruisebase travel agent users and their clients can efficiently access booking inventory for both Grand Celebration and Grand Classica directly online. The integration allows Bahamas Paradise Cruise Line to connect with large intermediary partners and hundreds of thousands of their clients.

'The popularity of our convenient and flexible two-night cruises continues to grow with a wider customer base of many first-time cruisers as well as seasoned travelers seeking a quick escape,' CEO Oneil Khosa said. 'Partnering with TravTech’s leading technology and Cruise.com, one of the top online cruise sellers, broadens our distribution strategy, providing greater access to Bahamas Paradise Cruise Line’s unique offering of a two-night cruise and cruise & resort stay.'

TravTech, developer of web-based travel applications with its flagship application suite CruiseBase, is the primary technology supplier of Cruise.com.

New markets

'The growth of Bahamas Paradise Cruise Line in such a short time is an exciting story and TravTech is delighted to partner with the team as they expand their reach into new markets,' said Vinod George, EVP of TravTech. 'We look forward to bringing such innovative partners onto the booking platform and supporting the growth of their products.'

Cruise.com, a subsidiary of Omega Travel, Inc. based in Dania Beach, Florida, is one of the leading online cruise sellers delivering personalized service and exceptional value to its customers.

'With the trend of shorter sailings catering to guests with busy schedules, the Cruise.com team is thrilled to welcome Bahamas Paradise Cruise Line to our portfolio of leading cruise products,' said Anthony Hamawy, president of Cruise.com. 'We recognize the line’s two-night sailings are exactly what so many of today’s consumers are seeking.'
