Your reservation system for river cruises

Numerous river cruise providers suffer from outdated IT. Manual processes, old-fashioned interfaces, and few opportunities to attractively offer additional services are spoiling the business. Even though the travel products being offered are of high quality. What is the point of having a vast offering if the sales range is too small? How can you present your services attractively if you do not have the means to do so? How can manual efforts be minimized if the technical prerequisites for modern, effective processes are not in place?

Increase your sales by appealingly offering travel products with our modern Internet Booking Engine and our powerful reservation system. Connect to existing sales networks with our interfaces and suddenly expand your sales reach in entirely new areas. In addition, automate your processes with our powerful reservation system. 

Everything from a single source: ISO is your contact for a fully comprehensive solution for the front-end and back-end.

Powerful combination: IBE & Reservation System

Out of the box vacations are out; individually packaged river cruises are in. However, how do you present the numerous individual offers to your customers in an attractive and fast way?

Our Internet Booking Engine is tailored precisely to the needs of cruise operators. Use the interactive deck plan or present additional services such as arrivals and departures by train, bus, or flight, as well as pre-and post-cruise programs. If a customer wants to change or buy something after they have booked, no problem, you can also accommodate them. It is no problem with the IBE and the reservation system from ISO Travel Solutions.

How our e-commerce and reservation solutions work

Our e-commerce solutions focus on selling your in-house and third-party products. Promote your portfolio on your booking website with live vacancies and powerful images. Additionally, offer your products via interface or as a white label to any partner. From the interactive ship deck plan to the optional excursion, everything is displayed and bookable online.

Our artificial intelligence (AI) based tool, Travel:tailor, supports your workflow. Based on your rules, the tool presents all relevant products to generate more revenue and increase your customer satisfaction at the same time.

In addition, our Travel:up Video tool can attractively complement all your offered trips. Showcase videos in a new perspective. Using individual scenes, our software creates a personal video tailored to the customer's needs. It addresses the customer directly with personal messages, as each video is customized. All videos are generated fully automatically and then sent to customers and prospects. Your videos are interactive and directly linked to the customer's booking, so they can book additional services directly from the respective clip.

Our Pacific core system manages all of these activities. Pacific is not only a versatile and flexible reservation system, but it is also the perfect fit for any river cruise operator. You can use it for any trips, packages, FIT, groups, or charters.

Due to its modern architecture, we can integrate all the required modules individually into your existing IT landscape.

Maximum automation of processes: everything from requests and options to bookings, through to the manifest and financial accounting.
