elcome to the latest edition of our Headliner Magazine.
Exactly two years after moving our sales office to Baker Street in London, we have just opened our new retail premises in Cardiff. The location of the new Gill’s Cruise Centre is very close to where Mr Robert Gill founded the business in 1957 and Robert had the honour of officially opening the premises.
We are looking forward to continuing our great relationship with our clients in South Wales. In the meantime we have been working hard to bring you all lots more fantastic cruise deals. In this edition you will find a host of amazing cruises to all four corners of the world. Focusing on 2011 and the launch of several new 2011/2012 brochure programmes from Princess Cruises featuring Alaska and the Exotics. Plus details of the launch of the iconic Cunarder Queen Elizabeth. All these cruises will feature discounted fares and bonus onboard spending money. We hope you enjoy this latest edition of Gill’s Headliner Magazine.
