cruisePAL Itinerary Planner does not require extensive training. A user will quickly learn how to easily select ports and agents, build itineraries, send them for approval, what significantly decreases the time to value.

Simplified communications with agents

Real-time syncing with agencies for instant access to vital information is possible. cruisePAL Itinerary Planner allows for quick responses from agents on berthing and terminal availability, port costs, waste disposal, water and electricity supply, and more. Agencies are able to provide instant info about terminal details, access, pictures and alternatives. Port and terminal information can also be stored over long periods of time which the itinerary planner will use for cost direct calculations.
