Cooperations
A Joint-venture
Aloschi & Bassani joining forces
Aloschi Bros & Bassani Group have formed a joint-venture under the brand Aloschi & Bassani. The new company will offer Tour Operator, Ground Handling and Port Agency services to Cruise lines at all Italian ports.
The two companies have been working closely in the past 15 years and the industry has come to a point where synergies in quality, cost control and volume buying power with suppliers have become a key element, an Aloschi & Bassani statement reads.
' This was the right time for us to join forces with the aim to become more competitive. But we also worked with the aim to increase benefits to our customers and principals ' - say the pair of brothers, Adolfo and Alex Aloschi, and Filippo and Francesco Olivetti.
Under the new JV, the Bassani team will operate services in the Eastern coast of Italy through its offices in Trieste, Venice, Ravenna and Bari.
At the same time the Aloschi team will look after the Western coast through its offices in Livorno, Civitavecchia, Rome and Naples.
Sicily and Sardinia will be covered centrally with the support of dedicated teams with offices located in Messina, Cagliari and Alghero.
Port Agency service will be handled by the Venice office acting as the central hub, coordinating an exclusive network of experienced cruise agents throughout Italian ports.

Membership criteria
Membership criteria means that, in essence, the best cruise lines in the world endorse the individual members.
Each member must be contracted by at least five cruise lines of 5 star and above rating and must be unanimously accepted by all current members.
The best choice for quality
In order to be contracted by one of the top cruise lines an operator must be considered to be the best choice for Quality, Innovation, Value and Professionalism within their country.
Until now, Aloschi's business has demonstrated to possess all of these attributes.
Membership reviewed annually
Moreover, to retain one of these contracts, the operator must consistently offer these same high levels from one season to the next, and grow and develop with ingenuity.
Therefore membership is reviewed annually to ensure the association remains at the leading edge of expertise in this field.
