Sponsored content by Cruise Planners, Featured Blogger of the Month

Amber Sprague Costa has always had a deep-rooted passion for travel. Spending her 20s exploring the globe, she transitioned to life on land with a clear goal: to become a business owner. With eight years of experience working on cruise ships, Amber was drawn to Cruise Planners for its robust support system and the promise of independence it offered.

Amber’s decision to join Cruise Planners was fueled by her desire to work for herself while leveraging her extensive travel experience. For the past ten years, she has thrived as a franchise owner, attributing much of her success to the comprehensive support and innovative technology provided by Cruise Planners. The CP Maxx system has been instrumental in keeping her business organized and efficient.

Marketing is a crucial component of Amber's strategy. As a travel influencer, she effectively uses social media, complemented by Cruise Planners' CP Social program, to build trust and connect with clients. Amber's authentic posts, often sharing her own travel experiences, resonate deeply with her audience, reminding them that she is not only knowledgeable but genuinely passionate about helping others plan their dream vacations.

Attending the Cruise Planners convention is a highlight for Amber each year. It offers invaluable opportunities for networking, learning from peers, and staying updated with industry trends. The sense of community and support among franchisees is something Amber cherishes.

In the ever-evolving landscape of travel, Amber is proactive about embracing new technologies, including AI. With the backing of Cruise Planners' Home Office, she feels well-prepared to adapt and thrive amidst these changes.

Amber's journey with Cruise Planners exemplifies the "laptop lifestyle." She enjoys the freedom to explore the world while managing a successful business. This flexibility allows her to continue her adventures and make a great living doing what she loves.
