Virtuoso has announced it has officially selected Passport Online Inc. as a technology partner, rolling out access to its North American agency network for Passport Online’s Tandem Cruise Booking Engine in November. Tandem is the first official cruise booking engine technology partner for Virtuoso. 

Tandem is a B2B tool that finds, compares, quotes, and books cruises from a single web-based system. Virtuoso member agencies will be offered a customized version of this, which includes unique features and content designed for them and includes only Virtuoso preferred partners and Virtuoso exclusive programs. Agencies will also be able to add a B2C version of Tandem at an additional cost.

The Tandem tool allows advisors to search for land and cruise offers and book the cruises online in one central location: Virtuoso.com. It provides Client Base Live Connect integration, segmented reporting, email marketing tools, cabin availability and selection, interactive deck plans, full ship information and extensive booking modification functionality. 

Tandem’s selection is the result of its participation in the Virtuoso Incubator program in 2015-2016. A program to foster new technology, Virtuoso Incubator seeks out, refines through travel advisor testing, then introduces tools to enhance service levels, provide efficiencies and ultimately help its members maintain their competitive edge, Virtuoso said.
