Aqua Expeditions Launches Innovative Website and Enhanced Advisor Portal
Aqua Expeditions, a leader in luxury small-ship cruises, has launched a state-of-the-art website and a newly enhanced advisor portal, designed to elevate the user experience with advanced technological features and intuitive navigation. The redesign is rooted in extensive user experience research, ensuring that the website is not only aesthetically pleasing but also highly functional across various devices including desktops, tablets, and mobile phones.
Key to the website’s appeal is its “Aqua Experience” section, which introduces users to Aqua Expeditions’ core brand pillars and diverse offerings in an engaging and accessible format. Additionally, the website boasts new interactive deck plans with clickable pop-ups that detail each stateroom and social space, providing a comprehensive overview of the ship’s layout and amenities.
One of the standout features of the new website is its interactive map on the booking pages. This map details the daily course for each ship, allowing users to zoom in on each day’s itinerary. This feature is especially useful for guests and travel advisors, helping them to visualize the cruise experience and plan more effectively.
The upgraded travel advisor portal now offers an optimized landing page that simplifies the advisor account sign-up process and presents live booking capabilities. It also provides secure access to a detailed Resource Library, which contains essential sales materials such as flyers, itineraries, rates, and departure dates, all tailored to meet the needs of travel advisors.
Advisors using the portal will find it easier than ever to check availability for both FIT and charter bookings across the fleet, make reservations 24/7 from any device, and access detailed suite images and cabin information once sailing dates are selected. This enhancement significantly enriches the booking process, making it more transparent and efficient.
Additionally, the portal includes access to the Aqua Academy, a comprehensive resource of recorded webinars that delve into the ships, destinations, and the foundational pillars of Aqua Expeditions. This resource is designed to empower advisors with the knowledge they need to effectively sell and promote Aqua Expeditions’ unique cruise experiences.
With these significant digital enhancements, Aqua Expeditions is poised to provide an unparalleled online experience for both guests and travel advisors, reinforcing its commitment to innovation and superior customer service in the luxury cruise industry.
