From Cruise Lover to Cruise Earner: How to Monetise Your Passion for the Sea – My Story

If you’re anything like me, your love of cruising runs deep. You know the feeling — that buzz of boarding day, the sparkle of the sea, the thrill of discovering a new port, and the sheer bliss of waking up with the ocean on your doorstep. But what if I told you that passion could be more than just a holiday habit? What if your next cruise wasn’t just booked… but paid for (and possibly earning you commission too)?

That’s exactly what happened to me. I went from being someone who counted down the days to her next sailing, to someone who now gets paid to share, promote, and book the thing I love most: cruise holidays.

So, What Does That Actually Mean?

I didn’t suddenly become a travel agent overnight. I joined a business that let me become an Independent Travel Agent (ITA) — fully trained, supported, and connected to the world’s biggest cruise lines. I didn’t need experience, a shop front, or a certificate in travel sales. Just passion, internet access, and a willingness to learn.

Now I can:

  • Book cruises for friends, family, and followers — and earn commission
  • Access exclusive deals and travel perks
  • Promote cruise content I already love talking about
  • Grow a team of fellow cruise lovers, and earn through helping them do the same

But Isn’t That Just Being a Travel Agent?

Yes and no.

You can book cruises (and earn commission on every booking), but the bigger opportunity is this:

You can build a business around your love of travel — working as little or as much as you like, on your own terms, with the flexibility to fit around life, work, kids, dogs, or even your next sailing.

It’s not about selling cruises on street corners. It’s about sharing something you already love, and showing others how they can do the same.

Real Talk: Why Cruise Fans Make the Best Reps

Cruise lovers already:

  • Know the difference between Princess and Celebrity
  • Have a camera roll full of sunsets and ship shots
  • Chat in Facebook groups and share advice
  • Get asked, “Can you help me find a cruise like that?”

Sound familiar?

If you’re already doing half the job, why not get rewarded for it?

Not Just About Money — But That Helps

Of course, earning commission is lovely. I’ve paid for my own cruises. I’ve earned while at sea. I’ve reinvested into my travel fund. But more than that?

I’ve found community. Confidence. And a brand new sense of purpose.

Cruising has always been my escape. Now, it’s also my opportunity.

Ready to Test the Waters?

I’ve created a small community where I share what I do, how it works, and how you can try it too — no pressure, just real info and real stories from people who love to cruise.

If you’ve ever thought, “I wish I could just do this for a living” — maybe it’s time you did.
