Welcome...

...to my newsletter. As your local cruise and travel agent I wanted to give you a bit of an insight into an industry I know and love, as well as give you the opportunity to benefit from some fantastic offers and promotions to enhance your next land or sea holiday.

As a truly independent cruise consultant, not tied to selling cruises with any specific company, I can help you find your ideal cruise whichever company it is with. I have personally cruised with many different cruise lines, both ocean and river, and also make a point of visiting ships in port to give me a better understanding of what the differences are. While onboard I always try to get photos and videos, which are available to view on my website www.cruiseswithgocruise.co.uk.

Here is a sneak peek at some of my latest reviews, along with details of how you can read the rest...

River Cruises! Paris to Normandy with Avalon Waterways...

“I was one of six travel agents to be given the opportunity to experience life onboard one of the latest additions to the Avalon Waterways luxury river cruise fleet, the Avalon Tapestry II. On board for the first 4 nights of their 7 night ‘Paris to Normandy’s Landing Beaches’ itinerary I was lucky enough to visit landmarks such as Claude Monet’s house and gardens in Giverny; Chateau Gaillard in Les Andelys; and Normandy’s famous landing beaches including Juno Beach...”

Small Ships! Nautica’s multi-million dollar refit really shows “If you are looking for a smaller ship, carrying less than 1,000 passengers, appreciate fine dining with impeccable service, and prefer country club casual to DJ’s and Ball Gowns, then Oceania Cruises’ Nautica would be an excellent choice for you. I toured the ship following her refit and took a number of photos of both the staterooms, suites and public areas, to give you an idea of what you can expect on board this lovely, luxury ship.”

Ocean Cruises! Singing the praises of ‘Anthem of the Seas’ “The first ship in Royal Caribbean International’s ‘Quantum class’, Quantum of the Seas, was launched in 2014, so I had wanted to get on Anthem of the Seas since I knew she would be based in Southampton. I was offered a cabin for her two night inaugural cruise and from the moment I checked in at home using their straightforward system, I knew that my time on board would be worth the wait. Anyone who likes large ships, with plenty of action, and a big choice of dining venues, will surely have a fantastic time. A highlight of my trip was watching ‘We Will Rock You’, the main show being performed onboard Anthem of the Seas. The show lasted just under two hours and went without a hitch, to rapturous applause from the audience…”

Looking to rest your sea legs for your next holiday?

While I specialise in cruise, I realise that many of my customers like to try different holiday experiences, whether this be a luxury beach hotel & spa, an escorted tour, or perhaps something more bespoke. I therefore deal with a number of fantastic Escorted Tour and Luxury Holiday companies such as, Titan Travel, Just You (single travellers), Wendy Wu Tours, Kuoni, Kirker, Rocky Mountaineer, Great Rail Journeys and many more.

Experience the magic of the Nile The river Nile, as the longest river in the world, is a real interest of mine, and I have created a dedicated website www.nilecruiseswithgocruise.co.uk to give you more information on cruising the Nile, as well as land based holidays in Egypt. It is worth mentioning that whilst the situation in Egypt has been somewhat turbulent over the last few years, the tourist areas along the Nile river (eg Luxor, Aswan and the Valley of the Kings) have been unaffected and are currently not subject to restrictions by the FCO.

Here’s what my customers say about me…

Giving you the holiday that you deserve is my ultimate goal. Thankfully I have many loyal customers who have gone on to recommend me to friends, family and fellow cruisers. I cannot think of a greater recognition of my service and I appreciate this loyalty. Here is just some of the comments from my recent customers...

“

We only met last year for the first time when you gave a presentation at Kirby Muxloe Golf Club on Fred Olsen cruises, and I was extremely impressed not only with the content, but the way in which you conducted yourself generally, and your obvious knowledge about Fred Olsen. You never attempted to do any high sales pitch afterwards, and neither my husband nor I felt under pressure to take things further at that time.

Since that time, I have contacted you on more than one occasion and you have always been able to answer any questions I have had, or concerns, which is so appreciated. You most certainly know your stuff!! You just have the knack of making people like us feel that we are being looked after, which, in this day and age, can be very few and far between.

I have known Ian personally for a couple of years now and he has organised cruises/holidays for quite a number of people I know and respect they have nothing but praise for the care and attention to detail that Ian invests in them, and when you are spending a lot of money on something like this, you kind of expect this level of service but don’t always get it!! If you aren’t sure who to use, don’t give it a second thought because Ian will get you the right deal whatever specific requirements you may have quite simply, he is good at what he does.

” “ Rob from Leicester

Ian has been a great help guiding us with our cruise choices and making bookings for us. He is always willing to answer questions and to give advice when asked. I would recommend him as a Cruise consultant and always prefer to book through him.
