For travellers
The advice
Who or what is Honee?
Honee is an AI advisor for cruises. It answers your questions about cruise lines, ships, routes, cabins and prices and shows you suitable trips from your travel agency's offer. Honee is not a person. If you would rather talk to someone, you can reach an advisor at any time.
Does the chat cost me anything?
No. The advice in the chat is free of charge and non-binding for you. What a trip costs is shown on the offer itself.
When does Honee show me specific offers?
As soon as he knows four things: who is travelling, when, where to and which travel style you like. Before that he already advises you, but does not yet show bookable offers. You do not have to type everything: you can simply pick many details, for example travellers, period, duration, destination, style, budget, way of getting there and departure airport.
Which languages can I chat in?
In German, English and Spanish, depending on which languages your travel agency has enabled. The interface and the answers switch together.
Can Honee be wrong?
Honee is an AI. For trips he relies on the offers and data in the system, not on guesses. Mistakes can still happen. So check price, date and services in the booking step, and ask an advisor if anything is unclear.
Why can't I send very long messages?
A message can be up to 800 characters long, and the number of messages per minute is limited. This protects the chat from misuse and overload. Please write your wishes in several short messages, or pick them using the selection tiles.
Offers and booking
Where do the trips and prices that Honee shows come from?
From the booking system your travel agency is connected to. Honee only talks about trips that are actually listed there. He does not invent ships, ports or dates, and a cabin without a price is not offered.
Can I book directly in the chat?
Booking does not happen in the chat but in your travel agency's booking system. The booking button on an offer takes you there with your travel details already filled in. Trips that cannot be booked online are marked as an enquiry. For those, it is best to talk to an advisor.
Can I save and sort trips?
Yes. Use the star to save offers, and one click shows only your favourites. You can also sort the offers by departure date, price or nights. Your list is stored in your browser and therefore only applies on this device and in this browser.
Why do I see alternatives as well as the matches?
The offer view clearly separates the trips that fit your wishes from additional alternative suggestions. If you say what you do not want, for example a particular cruise line, Honee removes it completely.
Does Honee take school holidays and public holidays into account?
Yes. The calendar you use to choose your travel period shows school holidays and public holidays for each federal state and tells you if a date does not suit children travelling with you.
Can I find trips without a flight?
Yes. When choosing how to get there, you can pick “Ship only”, that is, travel without a flight. If you give your place of residence, Honee shows you departure ports with the distance and the matching trips.
Getting in touch with a person
How do I reach a real person?
An advisor can always be reached: by mail, callback or appointment request, depending on what your travel agency has set up. An advisor does not, however, jump into your conversation halfway through. He or she gets back to you after the conversation, by mail or callback.
What happens after I have requested a callback?
If you gave your email address, you receive a confirmation. Your travel agency and the advisor in charge receive your request with a summary of your wishes. A person will then get in touch with you. How quickly depends on your travel agency.
Can I get a summary by email?
Yes, on request, with your wishes, your advisor, notes and offers. Your travel agency decides which parts the mail contains and how many offers. Through the link in the mail your conversation continues later exactly where you stopped. If you reply to the mail, your reply reaches your travel agency.
Data and legal
What happens to my data?
Your details are used to process your enquiry and to contact you. You can voluntarily agree to use for marketing when you send it. Without your consent it does not take place. The audience measurement works without tracking cookies. Your details are stored in the EU (database in Ireland, application in the Netherlands). To answer, Honee uses AI services from external providers. Everything else is in your travel agency's privacy policy.
Where do I find the privacy policy, legal notice and terms?
The privacy policy, legal notice, terms of use, general terms and the accessibility statement belong to your travel agency and appear in its look and feel. The links are in the footer of the page.
For prospective customers
Licence and costs
Can I start small and switch later?
Sure. Start with Starter or Expert and switch anytime — your new favourite colleague grows with you.
What happens after the free trial?
Nothing automatically. No contract, no card. If you don't like it, just say goodbye.
Do I need C2B?
No. B2B (your team advises) is perfectly enough. C2B (end-customer chat) is an add-on — and only bookable together with B2B.
How are additional advisors billed?
Up to 3 are included. From the 4th, +29 € (Starter), +49 € (Expert) or +79 € (Professional) per month each.
