Next Steps
GoCruise & Travel Franchisee Mike Davies had no experience but a passion for travel
GoCruise & Travel has offered me a great way to build a business with excellent support in the hugely enjoyable environment of cruising and holidays.
Like many other franchisees, I came with no travel background - but with a passion for travel and a desire to help others enjoy holidays. Critical to success and enjoyment of the business is the ongoing support across all parts of the business - including super help on marketing and working with cruise lines, a very knowledgeable (and gentle!) admin team, and full franchise management support.
The brand of GoCruise & Travel opens doors into cruise lines that continually amazes me, and being part of the Fred Olsen group provides huge financial reassurance to customers. I always feel good and confident when talking to my clients about holidays.
On top of running my own business, this has turned out to be a wonderful opportunity to visit or cruise on beautiful ships - and right now, so many people are bursting to get back onto the water and cruise.
I feel part of a wider family, always great to meet up and enjoy events together - and it’s fun!

What Our Franchisees Say
An amazing opportunity to get into the travel sector with a well established brand, very supportive Head Office team plus the global power of the Fred Olsen family behind us.
I enjoy the no pressure approach from the partners back in HQ, which enables me to mix the opportunity to own and run a cruise focused travel agency, alongside my own desire to travel regularly and see our cruise partners ships first hand.
The business model suited my long-term ambitions, and having your own postcodes where you can market yourself was a real selling point. I could see gaps in the market, so we took the big decision to relocate to Cornwall from Hertfordshire.
