Meet Susie Flores

Cruise Planners Franchise Owner Since 2025

Known by many online as “Cruisin’ Susie,” Susie Flores has built a travel business powered almost entirely through social media, with more than 100,000 followers on TikTok. Today, approximately 90% of her business comes directly from social platforms, without relying on storefronts, in-person events, or traditional marketing.

Before joining Cruise Planners, Susie operated under another host agency, but as her business scaled online, she realized she needed a company with stronger technology and integrated systems, to support the way she sells travel.

“For me, everything is built on technology and social media,” Flores shared on The Green Room podcast. “I needed a company with the tools and systems to support that kind of business.”

Since joining Cruise Planners, Susie has continued to grow her digital-first business while traveling the world, creating content, hosting groups, and turning online engagement into real bookings.

At Virtual Taste of Green, Susie will share what it’s really like to build a modern travel business with Cruise Planners. You’ll hear how she uses social media to drive sales, why technology matters, and what led her to become a Cruise Planners franchise owner.
