DREAM VACATIONS<br />
SOMETIMES A REBRAND calls for a totally new name. Recognizing that many of their franchisees were selling<br />
more than just cruises, the team at CruiseOne launched sister brand Dream Vacations (#88) in 2016, giving<br />
franchisees a choice of which brand to use. More than 99 percent of new franchisees are choosing the Dream<br />
Vacations name, and more than 65 percent of all franchisees are now operating under the name—and experiencing<br />
an average 17 percent sales increase because of it.<br />
