Clearer routes into cruise planning for first-time, solo, group, and celebration travelers, so each one finds their own path instead of sorting through one generic page.

In their words

“Cruise better. Plan less.”

24Seven Escapes

That promise only works if the site gets out of a traveler's way. The interface work translates it directly: four clear routes in, one for each kind of traveler, instead of one generic page everyone has to sort through themselves.

Research

Testing with four kinds of traveler.

I ran usability testing with people representing the distinct traveler profiles the business serves, because their questions and hesitations are not interchangeable.

Traveler profiles tested

  • First-time cruisers. Need the basics explained without feeling talked down to.
  • Solo travelers. Need to know the experience is designed with them in mind.
  • Group travelers. Need coordination, logistics, and shared planning answered.
  • Celebration travelers. Are planning around a milestone, so the occasion drives the decision.

What that changed

Rather than one general services page, each traveler type now has its own route into the site, so visitors can self-identify quickly instead of filtering irrelevant information themselves. Testing findings were prioritised against what was actually achievable within the client's platform and timeline, which meant making explicit calls about what to fix first and what to leave for later.

Case study in progress

Full case study documentation is currently being written, including the research process, testing findings, and the prioritisation decisions behind the final build. The live site is the clearest view of the outcome in the meantime.
