Travelport Signs Agreement with eWaterways

eWaterways, a global aggregator of small-ship cruises, has signed an agreement with Travelport to distribute its extensive niche cruise content to GDS users for the first time.

The new content will be distributed through two separate Travelport point-of-sale leisure systems –initially the Galileo Leisure portal from November 2009 followed by the Travelport Cruise & Tour platform in the U.S. and Canada in 2010.

eWaterways offers over 1,200 contracted vessels comprising river cruise ships, hotel barge trips, expedition voyages, coastal cruises and sailing and yacht journeys, which can either be chartered wholly in many cases or booked by cabin.
