TT Bureau

Cruisehost Solutions — operator of the booking systems Cruisea and Cruisec for cruises — has agreed to a cooperation with AIDA Cruises. Accordingly, Cruisehost may connect its systems with the booking system of AIDA Cruises via the cruiseline’s XML interface. Travel agencies working with Cruisea or Cruisec thereby obtain seamless access to the entire range of AIDA’s cruise offers, including all cabin categories, additional offers and various other information. The technical implementation is expected to be completed by the end of this year. The newly-formed agreement applies to all countries where Cruisehost is active. To make use of this new feature, travel agencies only require an additional agreement with AIDA Cruises.

Akhil Kapur, Founder and MD, Cruisehost Solutions, explains, “We are happy about this agreement because over 9,000 agencies in more than 20 countries now have the possibility to optimally access the offers of AIDA Cruises and present them to their customers via our systems.
