Travel Counsellors sails to success at the Wave Awards 2024

We’re delighted to announce that after sailing through to the shortlist, we’ve been officially named ‘Best Homeworking Network’ at the Wave Awards 2024.

In their 10th year, the Wave Awards recognise and reward excellence in the cruise sector, celebrating brands that have redefined the standards of cruise holidays.

We work closely with our valued cruise supplier partners to give our Travel Counsellors and their customers access to a wide range of cruise products – from high-end ocean cruises to expedition adventures and picturesque river cruises.

Janet Whittingham, Cruise Partner Manager at Travel Counsellors, said: “To have been nominated in this category was already an honour, but to have won is just an incredible achievement for everyone involved in cruise at Travel Counsellors. It symbolises the strength of our relationships with our luxury cruise partners and our discerning customers. I am immensely proud.”

Here at Travel Counsellors, we’ve also recently introduced our Cruise Ambassadors – a group of 20 of our independent business owners who have been carefully selected for their exceptional expertise and experience in selling cruises. These ambassadors collaborate closely with both our commercial and training teams, working hand-in-hand with our partners to boost the visibility of cruise products, updates, offers, campaigns, and training modules across our platforms.

The ambassadors are committed to supporting the wider Travel Counsellors community with any cruise-related queries, whether it's answering a quick question, collaborating in a TC Team on a booking, or empowering other franchisees to become more confident in selling cruise by passing on their specialist knowledge.

We’re so committed to strengthening our community with people from a diverse range of backgrounds, so that’s why we’re looking for more people to join us as independent business owners in 2025. Whether you’re a cruise connoisseur, are a whizz in another area of travel, or have never worked in the industry before, as long as you’ve got the passion and entrepreneurial vision, we’ll give you all the tools, training, and support you need to navigate the seas of running a business and set sail in an exciting new direction. Our Discovery Events are a great way to learn more about our award-winning business model and get a feel for our supportive community in a no-pressure environment. What are you waiting for?
