Not just cruises
Hotels and air: additional income lines
Most programs compare cruises only. At Oxean, your membership can also handle hotel bookings and airline tickets — with published terms, not fine print.
| Line | What the Oxean agent receives | How it's paid |
|---|---|---|
| Cruises | 70% of the total commission the cruise line pays · 80% and 90% by cumulative sales levels ($100,000 / $300,000), no annual reset | Once the cruise line releases the booking's commission |
| Hotels | Your same level percentage (70% / 80% / 90%) on the total commission Oxean receives from the supplier; each property's rate is visible before booking. Hotel sales do not count toward level volume. | When Oxean receives the supplier's commission; if the supplier reverses it, the adjustment is reflected the same way |
| Airline tickets | Flat $20 per ticket issued and paid, independent of the cruise split | Per ticket; changes are not paid twice — a full reissue counts as a new ticket, a voided ticket reverses the fee |
Hotel and air lines are activated by signing Addendum A of the Independent Agent Agreement. Levels ($100,000 / $300,000 cumulative) are reached only through cruise sales; the level percentage reached also applies to hotels. If you compare with other programs, check whether they publish their hotel and air terms — many don't publish them or don't pay commission on these lines; always verify at the original source.

Why Oxean
What's behind the 70%
- Levels earned by selling, not by paying more. Your percentage rises to 80% at $100,000 and 90% at $300,000 in lifetime cumulative sales — and once you reach a level, it's yours: no annual reset. Compare: other programs require that figure every year.
- The lowest entry in the table. $39.99/month with $50 activation at launch, industry credentials included and no tiered plans by fee: the percentage is earned by selling, not by paying more per month.
- Flat numbers, no asterisks. The percentage you see is the percentage in the contract.
- Accredited agency with direct contracts with the major cruise lines, and industry credentials included in your membership — no separate charge for your agent ID.
- More than one income line. Beyond cruises: hotels at your same level percentage on the commission received, and $20 per airline ticket issued and paid (Addendum A).
- In English and Spanish, from Florida. Training, support and community in your language.
- Your book of business is yours. You build your own business as an Independent Agent, not someone else's.
