Venture Ashore revamps agent website

Independent shore excursion provider Venture Ashore has revamped its agent website to make it more user-friendly.

Key changes include being able to log in on the Venture Ashore homepage instead of opening a new browser window, a simplified booking system and a newly-designed affiliate website customised for each agent, the company said.

Venture Ashore said 2024 and 2025 itineraries are bookable now and are currently available at 2023 prices, with savings of up to 40% on offer.

Sales director Kirsty Bachelor said: “At Venture Ashore we value our partnerships and relationships in the trade community which is why it was important to us to launch a new website that eased pain points for travel agents and ensures a more user-friendly experience.

“With the launch of the new website, we have achieved that and more.

“Travel agents are now able to search and book excursions by destination which enables agents the opportunity to sell experiences for both pre and post-cruise.

“For the first time, agents can now offer bookings for land-based customers, providing extra earning opportunities.”
