You're paying twice
for one job.
The typical hosted cruise advisor stacks two subscriptions to do one job: book travel. A host agency at $79/mo (plus $495 to start) for accreditation and supplier access. A separate CRM like Tern or TravelJoy at $39/mo to manage clients, trips, and intake forms. Two bills for tools that should already work together.
On top of that, your host takes 20 to 30% of every commission. And on every quote, you're calling clients for a 30-minute credit card authorization before they can even book.
Two subscriptions. One job. And a commission split that punishes you for using them.
Pirate replaces the whole stack with one $50/mo subscription:
→Quote any cruise in minutes and send a link your client can actually book.
→Drafts itineraries, emails, and follow-ups in your voice, trained on 85 cruise lines.
→Clients, trips, and commissions in one ledger. Nothing to duct-tape together.

Pricing as of 2026, sourced from each provider's public pricing page. Net figures assume a 12% blended cruise commission rate (industry mid-range across mass-market and premium lines) and ongoing-year subscription totals; the $79/mo host model includes an additional $495 setup fee. CRMs (Tern, TravelJoy) shown at annual-billing pricing. The lower-fee host model is shown at $46/mo. The commission-share host model is shown at its entry commission-share tier; no flat subscription. Franchise-model brokerages (e.g., Cruise Planners, Dream Vacations) follow a different cost structure and are out of scope. The interactive calculator uses these same assumptions; your own commission rate, host tier, or CRM bundle may differ. The first-50 lifetime 100% offer is not modeled in these tables. * The $79/mo host model commission split is undisclosed publicly; ~75% reflects the industry-typical range for hosted advisors before productivity bonuses. † The lower-fee host model commission is productivity-tiered, starting at 80% and scaling to 95%. ‡ The commission-share host model is tiered (70% → 80%) as your annual commission climbs; we show the entry tier. Pirate rows use 85/15 below $500K in annual cruise sales and 90/10 at $500K+.

200. That's it. We'd rather give 200 advisors an unfair advantage than spread ourselves thin across thousands. Every advisor gets a direct line to our team and a personal AI concierge. Once we hit 200, enrollment closes.
No. Our built-in CRM covers everything Tern and TravelJoy do: client management, trip planning, intake forms, document storage, and commission tracking. On top of that you get AI quoting, GDS-integrated bookable checkout, and direct cruise line search. Cancel your CRM subscription on day one.
That's the old way. Our AI quoting engine generates a custom, branded checkout URL for every quote. You send it; your client books directly with their own card on their own time. The booking syncs to your CRM the moment they confirm. No phone tag, no faxed forms, no 30-minute authorization calls.
Our AI pricing engine searches across all major cruise lines, including Royal Caribbean, Norwegian, Celebrity, Carnival, MSC, Princess, and Holland America. One search covers them all.
