The Cruise Globe, an app enabling users to track and log cruises, is opening a travel agency affiliated with Global Travel Collection (GTC).
The Cruise Globe was founded by Matthew Jones, Will Ellison and Emma Le Teace, who is also known as "Emma Cruises," a content creator with more than 425,000 YouTube subscribers and over 10 million monthly views.
The Cruise Globe launched in February 2025 and has more than 135,000 users who have logged some 750,000 cruises on the app. It enables users to log their entire cruising history, track live ship movements and relive cruises they've taken in the past.
Global Travel Collection said the new travel agency will seek to tap Le Teace's audience as a base of engaged cruisers who already trust the brand.
"Joining the GTC network gives us the infrastructure and relationships to turn that community into an agency unlike anything that has existed before," said Jones, The Cruise Globe's CEO.
The Cruise Globe is looking for two experienced advisors to take on the roles of founding heads of the agency, one located in the U.S. and another in the U.K.
Angie Licea, GTC's president, said The Cruise Globe brings innovation, expertise and an engaged audience to the host agency.
"By welcoming them into the GTC community as an independent agency partner, we are expanding cruise engagement across our network while creating greater opportunities for collaboration with cruise line partners and delivering more value for advisors and clients alike," Licea said.
Global Travel Collection is a host agency specializing in luxury travel. It is owned by Internova Travel Group (No. 10 on Travel Weekly's Power List).
