Who are we? And why choose the best?

Abracadabra! Cruises is an Award Winning Cruise Only Agency that has been in business since 1993. Our main headquarters is located in Marietta, GA, just north of Atlanta. With years of experience working closely with a vast variety of travel and tourism companies, Abracadabra! Cruises has developed a professional reputation that other agencies just can't match. We have trained many individuals for cruise specialist careers that literally opened the world to them and their families.

So why choose Abracadabra! Cruises training over the many agencies offering on-line training? Because you want to be one of the best! Our training does require a week of in class training. This training is presented by our Home Based Agent Training Coordinators, Len & Donna Condry, as well as by our members of our office staff and management. In addition, you will also receive training directly from representatives of the top cruise lines. This is experience you simply cannot get through on-line training sessions

We are in the top 20 agencies worldwide for selling cruise vacations. We earned the prestigious honor of being named Carnival's Agency of the year for 2000. Industry prestige enables us to have preferred access to exclusive rates and promotions. Some of our suppliers include: Carnival, Holland America, Costa, Disney, Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, Norwegian Cruise Line, Radisson, and Princess.

What makes our agency program different?

We support our home-based agents with a dedicated Cruise Concierge Center. This department handles everything after the sale. This includes mailing of invoices, taking of final payments, documentation and handling any phone calls after the sale. This will enable you to focus your time and energy on selling. As a result of this, you can reach sales plateaus that typical travel agents can't.

What is required of a Home Based Agent?

Potential Home Based Agents should be ambitious, self-motivated, and outgoing. Proven sales skills are a plus as well as past cruise experience. We will teach you the sales skills necessary to sell cruises and you will have the opportunity to cruise at a reduced rate after meeting your initial sales goal. You will be required to have a computer with Windows XP Professional or 2000 Professional as an operating system and the ability to view Microsoft Word and Excel files, Internet access, a dedicated phone line with toll free access, and the ability to receive fax messages.

What is the compensation for Home Based Agents?

Agents affiliated with Abracadabra! Cruises are primarily responsible for building their own marketing plan, advertising and obtaining their own leads. We will share some of the marketing ideas successfully used by Abracadabra! Cruises that have made our agency one of the leaders in the cruise booking industry. Furthermore, once you develop a marketing plan, we may be able to provide co-op marketing dollars. This means that you will not have to pay for all of your advertising, but in many cases be reimbursed for up to 50% of the cost. Dependent upon your sales skills and motivation, you may qualify in the future for client leads. Unlike other home based agent companies, we do not charge our qualified agents to receive these leads. Typical 1st year agents who are devoting 30+hours per week earn approximately $20,000. Agents in their second year can expect to earn $30,000 plus. After a couple of years, the growth can be phenomenal. It's completely up to the agent as to how much they will earn. This is all based on your ability to close sales and maintain good follow up skills. Our agents are known for developing a personal relationship with their clients, resulting in a tremendous amount of repeat and referral passengers.

What we can offer you?

We can offer you training from the BEST! We will train you in our Marietta, GA office. Our next class is now forming. You will receive a weeklong intensive course on cruise sales instructed by our experienced staff and management. You will also receive training directly from various sales representatives of the top cruise lines. Training in our office will enable you hands-on experience with WinCruise (our inter-office computer program), meet the in-house staff, and view Abracadabra! Cruises from behind the scenes.

Before Cruise School you will be given information for class preparation. We will provide you with worksheets, brochures and training manuals. There will be a test at the end of class and it will be necessary to earn 90% or better to be affiliated with Abracadabra! Cruises Past experience and classes have shown that as long as you complete your pre-Cruise School worksheets and work diligently in class, you should have no difficulty passing the exam. However, our training is very intensive and requires a serious student to complete and succeed. All training materials are yours and will assist you when you return to your home office. Upon successful completion of cruise school, you will be given a graduation certificate.
