The challenge

Windstar Cruises' agents spent time on routine inquiries rather than complex bookings, destination knowledge was hard to scale, and quality management relied on manual sampling with limited contact-center visibility.

The solution

Windstar deployed Cresta's AI Agent to automate routine chats, Agent Assist for real-time guidance, and Cresta Insights with automated Quality Management to score interactions and surface trends.

If I told my agents tomorrow that we weren't going to have Agent Assist anymore, I would have a complete mutiny on my hands.

The results, in context

Windstar Cruises' virtual chat agent contained 70% of chats and the company recorded a 2% conversion increase over six months. Automated quality management also cut risk and compensation review from hours to minutes.
