Ten hours ashore, and only two of them are yours
The ship berths at eight and leaves at six. Ten hours ashore, and your passenger picks between an excursion contracted months ago or nothing at all. Everyone who wants something else stands on the quay searching on a phone.
You brought them to the city and earn on two hours of it
Shore excursions are bought a year ahead, in fixed blocks, at fixed prices, with real risk if they do not fill. Everything outside those blocks is revenue nobody collects.
Two choices, and one of them is nothing
The contracted coach tour, or figuring it out yourself on a quay with unfamiliar signage and an hour of daylight burning. Plenty of passengers pick the second and end up doing nothing at all.
Inventory bought a year in advance
Excursion programmes are committed long before anyone knows who is sailing. Fill them and the margin is fine. Miss and you carry the cost of empty seats on a coach.
The independent passenger earns you nothing
The ones who want to explore alone are often the ones who would spend the most. They book on the quay, on a platform that did not sail them there.
You deliver thousands of people to a city. You earn on a fraction of what they do there. No brand on it, no data from it, no revenue out of it.
The card that waits on the bed
The daily programme already lands in the cabin every evening. This is one more card on it, for tomorrow's port, with live availability behind it.
Your line here
Tomorrow: Amsterdam
What is on, back before all aboard. Scan and book.
Half past nine in the evening, turndown done, tomorrow's port on the card. They book from the cabin, and the ticket is on the phone before the ship even berths.
The same code works on the cabin card, the daily programme, the onboard app and the screens by the gangway.

Revenue ashore, with nothing bought in advance
This sits next to the excursion programme rather than against it. The difference is that nothing is committed, nothing can go empty, and it covers the passengers your programme was never going to reach.
No inventory risk
Nothing contracted a year ahead, nothing to fill, no empty coach to pay for.
No shore staff
The passenger books from the cabin on their own phone. Nothing for the excursion desk to handle.
It fits every port
The same shop covers your whole itinerary, including the ports too small for a programme.
What you will not find on this page: a spend per passenger
We could take your berths, invent a conversion rate and produce a figure per sailing. Run one ship for one season, look at the dashboard, and argue about the real number instead.

The evening before a port day
Turndown. Tomorrow's port is on the card on the bed, with a code on it.
They scan from the cabin, see what fits between berthing and all aboard, and book two tickets.
The ship berths. The tickets are already in their wallets, no queue on the quay.
Back on board on time. The line earned on hours it never used to touch.
Questions cruise & river cruise lines ask us
Does this compete with our own shore excursion programme?
No, it sits next to it. The contracted programme keeps the passengers it already serves; this covers the ones who were never going to book a coach tour and currently spend nothing with you at all.
Do we have to buy anything in advance?
Nothing. There is no inventory to commit to, no minimum to fill and no empty seats to pay for. If nobody books in a given port, it costs you nothing beyond the membership.
How do you make sure passengers get back before all aboard?
The shop is stocked per port with live availability, so what is shown fits your published times in that port rather than a generic list of things to do in the city.
Does it work in the smaller ports too?
The catalogue covers thousands of cities, including many ports that are too small to justify a contracted excursion programme of their own.
Can it carry our line's branding?
Your branding, or none. Branding is a setting with four levels, from a fully branded shop on your own web address to a neutral one where the line never appears as the seller.
What does it cost to start?
One membership: 149 euro per month plus commission on every booking, with no other fees. Cancel monthly, and applications are reviewed by hand.
Tonight at 11 pm, a guest will ask what to do tomorrow.
You will be asleep. Emma will not.
Every day without your own shop, your guests book on someone else's platform, and that is commission you never see again. One membership, cancel monthly, applications reviewed by hand.
