PARIS, August 2026 – Ahead of its debut at Virtuoso Travel Week, Worldia is introducing a new outcome-driven travel collection, dedicated pre and post cruise experiences, and a next generation of advisor sales technology, alongside the expected onboarding of more than 75,000 new advisors across North America in the second half of 2026.
The Connected Cruise, by Worldia
Pre and post cruise extensions are among the highest-value opportunities available to travel advisors, and among the most underserved. Worldia is changing that. The new Pre & Post Cruise Experience brings together immersive cultural stays, culinary itineraries, wellness escapes and privately guided touring across all of the world’s leading cruise gateways. Each extension is built to connect seamlessly with a client’s core cruise itinerary: priced, confirmed and managed within a single booking, under a single operational guarantee.
Worldia calls this the Connected Cruise: an end-to-end journey that begins before embarkation and continues after disembarkation, giving advisors a natural way to deepen the client relationship, increase booking value, and deliver an experience that no cruise line can offer on its own.
“Today’s travelers aren’t thinking about separate cruise and land vacations. They’re thinking about one complete journey,” said Erwan Corre, Co-Founder and Chief Revenue Officer of Worldia. “Our Connected Cruise approach allows advisors to extend the vacation beyond the ship, creating richer experiences while making it easier to deliver a seamless itinerary from beginning to end. It’s another step in bringing the Connected Trip vision to life.”
Wellth, by Worldia
Worldia also announced the launch of Wellth by Worldia, a new outcome-driven collection of tailor-made travel experiences designed around how travelers want to feel, not simply where they want to go.
Rather than defining wellness by amenities alone, Wellth by Worldia evaluates experiences across five core wellness pillars:
- Movement
- Recovery
- Mindfulness
- Nature
- Nutrition
These pillars enable advisors to curate journeys around the outcomes their clients are seeking, whether that is improved sleep, stress reduction, active exploration, deeper connection with nature or simply the opportunity to disconnect and recharge.
The launch comes as wellness tourism continues to be one of the fastest-growing segments in global travel. According to the Global Wellness Institute, the wellness tourism economy is projected to exceed US$1.4 trillion by 2027, as travelers increasingly prioritize experiences that support their physical, mental and emotional well-being.
While investment in wellness hotels, resorts and experiences continues to accelerate around the world, advisors are often challenged by fragmented inventory and inconsistent definitions of what wellness actually means.
“The wellness travel market is experiencing tremendous growth, but the inventory remains highly fragmented,” said Ryan McElroy, Strategic Advisor at Worldia. “Every destination, hotel and supplier defines wellness differently. Wellth by Worldia creates a common framework that helps advisors curate travel based on desired outcomes rather than marketing labels. As wellness inventory continues to expand globally, advisors need a smarter, more connected way to discover, package and sell these experiences.”
Continued North American Momentum
The announcements follow significant momentum across North America.
Through new strategic partnerships with leading host agencies, consortia and travel organizations, more than 75,000 travel advisors are expected to join the Worldia platform during the third and fourth quarters of 2026, further expanding one of the industry’s fastest-growing Connected Trip ecosystems.
New Advisor Sales Enablement Technology
At Virtuoso Travel Week and the Virtuoso Technology Summit, Worldia will also preview a new suite of advisor technology designed to help advisors generate more leads, increase conversions and grow their FIT business.
New innovations include:
- Dedicated advisor landing pages designed to drive more qualified FIT inquiries and increase conversion.
- AI-powered voice technology that enables advisors to engage prospective travelers through natural conversations while qualifying leads and capturing new business opportunities.
- Continued enhancements to the Connected Trip platform, bringing together itinerary creation, supplier connectivity, operations and traveler support into one seamless advisor experience.
