WHY SHORELINE DESTINATIONS
About Shoreline Destinations
We put our expertise to work in helping clients plan their ideal vacation. Whether it's to the Caribbean, Mexico, Europe and beyond, we have the experience in creating curated experiences for our clients. We do more than book travel; we are advocates for our clients from the start of planning until the trip is complete. Our work is based on years of professional experience, hundreds of hours of travel industry certification and training, exploratory trips so we can bring first hand knowledge, and a team of women who have been around the globe. There aren’t many places we haven't been!
There are many host agencies to choose from. Here are just a few reasons to choose Shoreline Destinations!
Top supplier relationships and commissions
Industry technology (CRM and proposal systems)
Training and resources
Yearly familiarization trips
Our team! We are a group of ladies with the same goal in common and we aren't in this to be the biggest agency… we prefer to consider ourselves boutique and have the right agents, not the MOST agents. When you are part of the SD team, you’ll be able to quickly reach out to others when you have a question. You’ll also be invited to our monthly team meetings and any supplier meetings.
Here’s What Makes Us Different
Hands-On Support: From onboarding to daily operations, we’re here for you. Our active internal Facebook group, mentor support, and regular training ensure you’re never alone.
Efficient Processes: We’ve built smart systems to help you work efficiently while providing top-tier client service.
Marketing Made Easy: We offer branded assets, a beautiful website featuring our agents, templates, and social tools to promote your business.
A Community That Shares: Tap into team knowledge for destination advice, supplier recommendations, or when you just need a second opinion.
Referral Opportunities: Not comfortable with a destination? Pair up with another team member to build the itinerary—you stay lead on your client.
Room to Grow: Start with the tasks you love, and evolve into new markets—honeymoons, groups, cruises, and more—with full support.

Backed by your own recent and extensive personal travel experience
Who This Role Is For

Someone who may not have a large personal book of business, but brings deep industry knowledge and system fluency
A collaborative professional who enjoys contributing to a team and making processes smoother
Someone who values flexibility and is looking for a long-term opportunity to grow
Bonus: If you're currently servicing your own clients, you’re welcome to continue. Or if you prefer, we can help transition those clients to another Shoreline advisor so you can focus solely on support work.
