Sailing since 1837, the client is the pinnacle of British cruising with some of the largest and most modern cruise ships in the world. They wanted to provide an online mobile booking experience to travelers that is fast, easy, and intuitive.

The main objective was to include an onshore mobile channel for shore excursion bookings to ease other excursion booking channels by automating all manual booking processes, expediting bookings, and improving overall customer experience and engagement.

Problem Statement

The client is a leading British cruise line with over 11.5 million guests sailing every year providing authentic travel experiences on land and sea for over 180 years.

Despite already having a website for excursion bookings, onshore self-service kiosk systems, and customer representatives, the client handled the entire shore excursion process manually, such as excursion booking, pass issuance, rebooking, payments, etc.

Although the self-service kiosk systems automated most of the onshore booking process, the kiosks were outnumbered to service the travelers at scale.

As a result, the customer had to wait in long queues to book their shore excursions. Meanwhile, on the other hand, the customer executives faced difficulties scaling the services to new bookings, which impacted the overall booking experience of travelers and employee efficiency.

To overcome these challenges, the client wanted to complement their website, kiosk systems, and customer service executives with a customer-facing mobile application for iOS and Android for a personalized and seamless booking experience.

Since the client lacked competencies in mobile app development, Zuci Systems was chosen as their technology partner for end-to-end mobile application design and development.
