TripLoft lets you search a catalog of real cruise sailings and pull a complete cruise, its ports of call, and its onboard details straight into your proposal. You search by cruise line and travel dates to see the available sailings, then pick a specific sailing. From that point on, everything you import (description, photos, ports of call, cabins, deck plans, and onboard activities) is specific to that ship, not generic to the cruise line.
TripLoft's cruise catalog and itineraries are powered by Widgety, a cruise data provider. The cruise lines, sailings, ports of call, cabins, deck plans, and onboard activity details you see come from Widgety's database.
What you can import from a cruise search
Once you've selected a sailing, TripLoft can bring in the following, all specific to that ship:
The cruise itself, as a Cruise component with the ship's description, photos, cruise type, departure and arrival ports, and length
The ports of call, added as dated Port components on their matching days
The onboard activities you select (Dining, Entertainment, Health & fitness, Deckplans), each added as a separate Information component named for the ship
Cabins are not imported. You add cabins yourself after the cruise is in the proposal, choosing from that ship's cabins (covered below).
Search for a cruise and add it to your proposal
Step 1: Add a Cruise component and open it
From the Add Items panel, add a Cruise component to your proposal, then open it to reach the Edit Cruise screen. The search lives on the General Info tab, in the Cruise Info section.

Step 2: Search by cruise line and dates
In Cruise Info, leave the Add manually toggle off to use the search. Then set:
Departing on or after and Arriving before or on: the date window for the sailing
Cruise line: choose the operator from the dropdown (for example, Scenic Ocean Cruises)
Click Search cruise. TripLoft returns the sailings available from that cruise line within your dates, each listed by name and operator.

Step 3: Select a sailing and choose what to include
Click a sailing in the results to open the Add Cruise to Trip window. Selecting a sailing means selecting a specific ship, so every detail in this window belongs to that ship.
The window has two tabs:
Cruise Details: the ship's photos, cruise type, departure and arrival ports, length, rating, and full description. Below that, an Itinerary (Ports of Call) checklist with each dated stop. Keep it checked to import the ports as dated Port components
Activities: the ship's onboard categories (Dining, Entertainment, Health & fitness, Deckplans). Each is checked by default and can be expanded to preview its full content. Uncheck any category you don't want. These are specific to the ship: a deck plan or dining venue list belongs to that vessel, not the line as a whole

Step 4: Add the cruise to your proposal
When your selections look right, click + Add to Proposal. TripLoft adds the cruise, the selected ports of call (on their matching days), and the selected activities (as Information components named for the ship). Every imported item comes in at $0.00, and all trip travelers are assigned to them by default, the same as a component you add manually.

Add cabins after importing
Once your cruise is imported, you can also add cabins of your choice from the same imported cruise.
Click Add Cabin, then either type a cabin name or use Search Cabin to pick from that ship's cabin list (with size, occupancy, accessibility, and category).
You can assign travelers to each cabin by dragging them into it.
The cabin section also has a Convert to Options control, for presenting cabins as selectable options to your client. That's covered separately in Manage Inline Options.

Enter a cruise manually instead
If the cruise isn't in the catalog, or you'd rather build it by hand, turn on the Add manually toggle in Cruise Info. The search is replaced with fields you fill in yourself: Carrier, Ship, Stateroom, and a fully editable Itinerary (Ports of Call) where you add the departure port, each port of call, and the arrival port with their dates, times, and time zones. You can edit port details after saving the cruise.

Good to know
Everything is ship-specific: the cruise line and dates only narrow the search. All imported detail (ports, cabins, deck plans, activities) comes from the specific ship you select
Pricing is not imported: every component comes in at $0.00. Set pricing on each component's Pricing & Booking tab after import - see Configure Pricing for Proposal Components
All trip travelers are assigned: imported components are assigned to every traveler on the trip by default. Cabin assignment is separate: travelers stay in the cabin tab's unassigned list until you assign them to a cabin
Cabins are never prefilled: you always add cabins yourself after import
