“Great Service Without Being Pushy”

“Spoke to a really nice guy, Richard. He was in no way pushy or giving me the usual sales patter of you need to book now before the prices increase blah blah blah. I rang him back the next day and he completed the booking in quick fashion. He thanked me for coming back to him and it felt a genuine warm thanks, which is lovely.”

What Our Customers Say Award Winning Service

“Outstanding Customer Service”

“Heather couldn’t do enough to get me the most suitable cruise for my requirements. I changed dates and destinations so many times and Heather was so knowledgeable, helpful and patient! She was able to give me lots of tips for my second cruise as I am taking my elderly Mum, so she knew exactly where to place us on the ship so she would have easy access.”
