FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHY DON’T YOUR HOLIDAYS HAVE A TOUR ESCORT?

Our cruise holiday packages are designed for independent travellers who enjoy the freedom to travel at their own pace.

Unlike traditional escorted tours, cruise holidays are highly organised experiences, with onboard staff looking after every aspect of your journey while at sea. We have found that most of our clients prefer detailed planning and support rather than travelling as part of a large escorted group.

By not including the significant costs associated with a tour escort, we can offer exceptional value while maintaining the flexibility and independence our clients appreciate.

Our detailed itineraries and pre-departure support ensure you have everything you need to travel with confidence.

CAN I TRAVEL AS A SOLO TRAVELLER?

Absolutely.

Many of our clients travel solo and enjoy the freedom and social atmosphere that cruising provides.

While cruise lines and hotels generally charge a supplement for single occupancy, we can often suggest options to help reduce costs, including different cabin categories, special solo traveller promotions and alternative accommodation choices.

We are happy to discuss the best options for your individual circumstances.

WHAT ARE THE HOTELS LIKE?

We carefully select quality 4-star and 5-star hotels in excellent locations that complement your cruise experience.

Our focus is on comfort, convenience and value, ensuring you are well positioned to make the most of your destination.

If you have a preferred hotel, room type or specific requirements, we can tailor your holiday to suit your preferences.

CAN I CUSTOMISE OR UPGRADE MY HOLIDAY?

Absolutely.

Almost every aspect of your holiday can be personalised. Whether you would like additional nights, stopovers, visits with family and friends, private touring or extra time to explore independently, we can tailor your itinerary to suit.

We can also arrange upgrades including:

  • Premium Economy or Business Class flights
  • Hotel room and suite upgrades
  • Higher-category cruise staterooms and suites
  • Private transfers and sightseeing experiences

Our goal is to create a holiday that is perfectly suited to you.

WHY DO WE NEED TO PAY SO FAR IN ADVANCE?

Many of our best-value packages are built using advance-purchase fares and special cruise promotions.

Booking early often provides access to better pricing, greater cabin availability and a wider range of flight options.

Some promotional fares do have stricter payment and cancellation conditions, which is why we always explain these clearly before you commit.

Comprehensive travel insurance is strongly recommended to protect your investment against unforeseen circumstances.

WHAT DOES YOUR SERVICE COST?

Our cruise planning expertise, advice and support are provided at no additional cost to you.

In most cases, our remuneration comes directly from the cruise lines and travel suppliers, with commissions already built into the published pricing.

Many clients are surprised to discover that our packages often represent equal or better value than booking direct, while also providing the reassurance of professional advice, personalised service and ongoing support.

That’s the value of having an experienced Cruise Specialist on your side.
