GoBe, a Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. company, has partnered with Umapped to integrate GoBe tours and activities with Umapped's collaborative itinerary and experience platform.
The partnership will bring travel providers and advisors the opportunity to add GoBe curated tours and activities inside mobile itineraries to generate more revenue and boost traveler engagement with timely, relevant recommendations.
