Ensemble has unveiled a new hotel cruise amenity program, offering exclusive hotel benefits and private port transfers for cruise customers. The program, currently in a pilot phase, is available in Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, Seattle and Vancouver, with plans for future expansion.

Through this initiative, Ensemble members can provide their clients with hotel amenities such as room upgrades, breakfast, early check-in and late check-out, along with private transfers to cruise ports. The program aims to enhance the pre-cruise experience for travelers.

"We are incredibly proud to be leading the way with this innovative program," said Beth Butzlaff, senior vice president of partner relations at Ensemble. "At Ensemble, we're always looking for ways to enhance the value our members can provide to their clients. This program does just that by combining the premium benefits of hotel stays with the convenience of private transfers to the port, offering a truly seamless start to a client's cruise vacation."
