According to Cruise Line International Association (CLIA), 73% of cruisers think travel advisors have a meaningful influence on their decision to cruise. So it’s no surprise that cruise suppliers love KHM Travel Group’s travel agents!
Over the years, we’ve developed strong relationships with the most recognizable names in cruising. And with those big names comes trust, top commissions for travel agents, and unique experiences for clients.
Let’s dive into a few of KHM Travel Group’s top cruise suppliers and explain why we work together so well.
Trusted by the Industry’s Best: A Look at Our Cruise Partners
The vibrancy of Royal Caribbean‘s consumer advertising campaigns matches the high energy of our travel agents. With a focus on making travel advisors look like stars, Royal Caribbean offers travel agents exclusive offers and fun contests. You can always find KHM Travel Group Agents on Vicki Freed’s monthly Coffee Talk webcasts learning about the latest with Royal Caribbean.
Carnival Cruise Line thinks travel agents rock and judging by our popular #KHMRocks hashtag, we’d have to agree. Carnival provides agents with high commissions and travel advisor resources to sell the fun of a Carnival cruise. One of our favorite memories was having two KHM Travel Agents as finalists in Carnival’s 2023 “Your Winning Plan” competition. KHM Travel Agent Kimberly Stanley from Adventure by Kim in Tupelo, Mississippi ended up winning the grand prize!
Norwegian Cruise Line is hosting our 2026 Crystal Conference on Norwegian Encore and we couldn’t be more excited to team up with them for this event. The dedicated support, along with travel agent incentives help them stand out as a leading choice for both new and experienced cruisers.
NCL Brand Ambassador Eric Stonestreet said it best: “As a new cruiser, it is an honor to have the opportunity to connect with future guests and show them how much more they can expect when they sail with NCL.”
We feel the love from Princess Cruises with every interaction with the cruise line that was first introduced to many through The Love Boat tv show. As the #1 cruise line in Alaska, Princess offers one-of-a-kind experiences to the Last Frontier–and countless other fantastic destinations. They offer stellar support for our travel agents and unique sailing opportunities too.
We can’t wait to set sail with Princess this November for a Regal Princess 7-Day Caribbean FAM!
The Celebrity Cruises brand is known for boasting an intimate feel, while still offering the variety of entertainment options found on larger ships. We especially enjoy that they offer perks for travel agents through their Celebrity Rewards loyalty program. Our agents earn points on every booking they make, which can be redeemed for cash onto a reloadable Celebrity Rewards Mastercard.
KHM Travel Group was Celebrity Cruises’ Central Region Partner of the Year 2024 – an honor we were proud to accept.
At our 2025 Crystal Conference in Orlando, a little rain didn’t stop Virgin Voyages from hosting a high-energy, entertaining party! As one of the newest brands, Virgin Voyages brings a red-hot passion for the best onboard experience for adults. Agents jump at any chance to sail with Virgin Voyages. KHM Travel Group is thrilled to have a great partnerships with Virgin Voyages’ leaders, including founder Sir Richard Branson.
KHM Travel Group is grateful to be in the Viking Cruises Platinum Circle. This achievement is a testament as to how much our travel advisors sell Viking. Their award-winning small ships have a big impact. That’s why both agents and team members enjoy any opportunity to take an enriching Viking journey. Viking was the first cruise line to always offer no NCFs (non-commissionable fares). So it’s easy to see why they are popular choice among travel advisors looking to earn high commissions.
