“Every milestone in training is a stepping stone toward confidence, community and success. What makes our training programs so powerful is that they’re built around connection,” said Charity Santiago, vice president of training and events for Dream Vacations/CruiseOne.

The franchise said in a press release that its curriculum includes the Business Intensive, Cruise Control Intensive, Foundation and Masterclass Series, which are designed to support advisors from their first booking through advanced business growth:
