To help our network grow this profitable niche, Cruise Planners is excited to offer the Romance Travel Specialist Certification to their network of 2,500 advisors across the U.S. This was created from a partnership with Destination Wedding & Honeymoon Specialists Association (DWHSA), the industry’s leading experts on romance travel.
