Challenge

Paper tickets, wasteful in many ways

Shoreside excursions are a fun element of every cruise. Guests gladly sign-up for trips which let them enjoy the destinations up close.

Excursion registration is traditionally handled using paper tickets, which are easy to lose and produce plenty of waste.

Paper-based excursion management requires manual ticket checking and generation of attendance reports by hand, which is time-consuming and error-prone.


Solution

Digital excursion management

Our ticketless reservation app does away with all the paper waste. Guests now register for excursions digitally, on their own or with help from the excursion teams.

Admissions are based on board card scans, which makes trip attendance known in real-time and visible to individual tour guides and trip managers. Missing guests can quickly be identified and contacted when necessary.

Digital admissions also make it easy to handle attendance without prior registration – guests can quickly authorize payment as they hop on the bus.

End-of-day reports are generated automatically, eliminating error prone manual work.
