Why Cruise.co.uk are like a pair of old slippers….

Which would you think would get you the best deal? You might be surprised by what I am about to tell you….but booking direct with the cruise  line, contrary to popular belief is usually the worst deal on the market. Many of my clients who now book regularly with me used to use the cruise lines directly and were shocked to find that I was quoting a better deal, because we’re paid commission right so we must be more expensive? No no my friends. That’s not how it works. The cruise lines price to you, is exactly the same as it is to us and you will struggle to find a cruise line who will offer any discount for loyalty or throw in any extra offers to keep you going back to them as they know they will get your business one way or the other, either direct with them or through one of their agents so for them its win win. Agents on the other hand do have some perks to play with, it varies between cruise lines and sailings of course but we can offer extra onboard spending money, free parking, extra discount or even free drinks packages and if your cruise is a fly cruise option, we can even build you a tailored package to suit and include free hotel stays, private transfers or tours overseas to make that trip that little bit more memorable and usually at a fraction of the cruise lines standard package price.

The real upside to booking with an agent such as Cruise.co.uk is that we don’t have an admin centre, customer services department or a pass you from pillar to post phone line. You get your consultants direct line to use whenever needed and will usually only deal with that one agent from the point of the quote right the way through to returning home when they will call to find out how your trip went. We care about our clients and loyalty means a great deal to us, customer care is at the very core of all that we do. We have one of the highest client repeat rate in our industry, something we are extremely proud of but something that I think speaks volumes about the service we provide to our clients. Nothing is too much trouble and if you’re happy, we’re happy. Whats more is that we have been selling cruises for over 30 years and have racked up many awards including ‘World’s Leading Cruise Travel Agent’ from 2009 to 2016 and ‘Europe’s Leading Cruise Travel Agent’ since 2008 to 2016 (Get voting for 2017!!) so you can be confident that with us you are in safe hands.

If you are thinking of booking a cruise then give us a try, I’m confident that you’ll be so pleased with us that we’ll become your comfy pair of slippers that you go to time and time again just as many of our clients do. You can buy several new pairs, but they’re never quite the same are they?
