We are regular users of your service and in a way it would be wrong to single out one person as all of your cruise concierge team are so very helpful. Over the last few days we booked a river cruise with the help of Gillian, Lauren and Sue, who were all great. However, we want to especially commend Dom for the time he gave to us, his attention to detail and his depth of knowledge - he truly made us feel that nothing was too much trouble in getting a great trip arranged for us. Thank you Dom – Dr. Biddle
